nice one! matt black is awesome, i've had mine on now for 6 months+ out in the weather and its the same it was the day it was sprayed. i note that it has rarely been cleaned!

i used a 10 cans i think, but i did the bay, which i think used up 2 cans. didnt take long at all, a few hours to mask, sand and spray and its touch dry within minutes!

oh and cant wait to see it with those steelies on!!  :drool:
yeah im gagging to sse it on the wheels too!.... i think its gonna look so mean!  :cool:

Cheers for the comments guys, loving the escort, that looks pretty mental! Stow, what golf you planning on doing it to?
so far the paint has been holding up well, had to wash some bright white bird poo off, that really did show up!
It does scratch pretty easily but seems to come out with not too much trouble :afro:

Will be giving it a proper wash tonight, will let you know how that turns out :)
Thanks mate, Ive bought a mk3 gti 8v, not 'new' as such lol, not 100% sure yet i want to mix it up with the green that it is now and some satin black, thinking black roof, middle of the bonnet bumpers and shadow lines,leave the rest green, but get the green looking spot on by dong some detailing :D

i found when washing just do it as normal, dont use as much soap nore rub as hard, but dont forget to leather it off

They did indeed :D











I love it with them on, but the rear needs to be raised a tad now, its dropped the ride height quite a bit and catches on everything! The tyres are spot on, just got a teeny bit of stretch to keep it legal :cool: went for 165/55/13's in the end. Comments!?
