Looked into this myself.... Spookily I was only watching some tube vids last night on the matter.  Have a gander, some very informative vids on there if you haven't already.

Its the sort of thing worth doing yourself.  Looks a piece of pee compared to what I ended up doing with mine.

Yh I've seen a few but wanted to know what people actually thought and my cars had a respray but it's not great and was a bit of a botch job as I said in another post so not too bothered about that just want the finish to be ok

Well my thoughts are I think stuff looks great and easy to work with, seen a set of wheels done once and the finish was spot on, easy to remove if applied thick enough. experience of actually using it is something I haven't got.  However, like you I am getting more curious about the idea and would be tempted to do mine one day.

I just sprayed my astra h grill with the stuff because its a works van so wanted something i could remove if the boss didn't approve of etc :D luckily he liked it so all is good, when i first put it on i couldn't belive that it would dry well or look reasonably smooth but it did in the end so just be careful when you apply should be fine.

I spotted this one in the future father in laws mg magazine don't ask me why he spends money on it but each to their own lol i still have a cheeky look :s but still thought it looked cool
