Not bad, but still not my cup of tea...

The end product reminds me of the spy shots you see of new vehicles....

Matt probably isn't the best colour to show it off in.
The forum I lifted the video from says a few folk have had their car covered in this for less than half the price of a wrap and just as durable..
One of the videos that company has made is repainted wheels with the plastidip being washed with a power washer. I would have thought it would have came off but it was solid.
I might try it out on my daughters clio  :laugh:  Only her grille though.

Matt black cars look awful, can't understand the fascination with them :rolleyes:

I still maintain that they're all flashy teachers that can't get away from the old-style blackboards  :laugh:

They have other colors...
Only available in US
The whole kit cost under 180 GBP.
A wrap is like what ??? 1500 GBP+?
It peels right off if you dont like it.
I think I might be the UK guinea pig for this. I can get it here really easy.
