I am looking for a 20m roll so we can cut up where necessary

saw a bently last year painted in a matte dark grey/black colour, looked absolutly poo and just looked like they had bought a bently that had been crashed and theyd repaired it but couldnt afford to get it painted...

but as said 20m should be more than enough

Post by: Ashmond on 06 March 2013, 13:04: pearly/girly :laugh:

Like grey to be honest, quite smart and I live on a high street so my car is always dirty due to the volume of traffic that goes past...white would be murder and would end up grey anyway! :grin:
