Here's my rear badge.
Planning to do some more bits like the fuel cap and wing mirrors on the weekend.
So far really impressed with how easy it is!

Looks like a good product so far. Just hope mine arrives in the post tomorrow cos it's my day off. V, badge, window surround, side air vent grills and fuel filler cap all desperately need tidying up.

Just get a toothpick for getting the overspray, it's too tricky using anything else.

Yeah I saw that on a YouTube clip. Does the 'overspray' really peel off easily around the piece you want covering?

Yes it's that simple. Here is my badge just after taking the excess off. Hardly anything, just a bit above the X, inside the 2's and in the 0.

I expect so but I am not sure how well it stands up to key abuse.

Almost finished my window surround.
1 thing, it doesn't bond as well to the metal fuel filler and petrol cap as it does to the plastic of the v and surround.
Re did my cap and filler surround today as I wasn't happy with it.
Looks like 1 can will be enough.

So I'm completely sold on this product.
Finish
This how it tears, exactly like it does in the video.
Done
I have little doubt the v and window surround will be extremely durable. Fuel cap and filler surround, watch this space.
All for £16, can't be bad.

I'm planning on doing the spokes and centres of my N/A wheels, do you think 2 cans would be needed or more ?

I haven't sorry, it literally took me 5 mins if that to completely mask up, leave about an inch gap and spray away.
Let the last coat completely dry, I left it a couple of hours and it pulls away exactly like in the vids.
I'm planning on doing my F ST wheels with the stuff and am trying to work out how many cans.
I was thinking 3 or 4.

I watched the video on utube spraying the blue and the orange wheels, the finish looks good and it doesnt look too difficult to do. I'l get four ordered.
