My mk1 is going suede, but it's going to be a proper job. Usual primer, sealer, base coat, colour and a lacquer with flatting agent to go for ~30% gloss. All done in a spray booth

Longer lasting, better finish and more durable than roller or rattle cans.

Thanks Wherry, you big slag.  :kiss: I do have a question, if a car has the satin/matte paint unprotected, does it not run off or something?

If your going to do, I would leave the arches off, much cleaner looking

I like it how it is I think the black arche kit goes well with the nato green looks sweet.

Was thinking I'd keep mine on too as it'll add a bit of a break to the satin grey.

Japan's roads make me queasy with excitement. So smooth, so well maintained  :lipsrsealed: :shocked: Even the rougher ones are better than the good roads in Ireland.
