Its a huge product in the USA. I think its a great idea and should be a lot cheaper than wrapping or painting. I am thinking about doing my wheels in black. As others have said it is hard to get hold of in the UK! Looking forward to seeing how you get on Chris!

How long does it last and is it going to be damaged at the slightest mark that's the question. Plus is it just matt or glossy too? Not a fan of matt. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Overspray with the 'glossifier' to get a gloss finish, undercoat is available to make it permanent.

Have a look at the 'dipyourcar.com' vids on youtube and you'll get an idea how durable it is. Probably wouldn't survive scratches from bushes off roading, but then neither would paint!

So theoretically I could nick a white 110, spray it green in 1/2 hour, move it to Rumania and peel it back to white again?

Does anybody know how many cans you would need per boost alloy? Thinking of maybe doing 4-5 coats per wheel in Matt black then coating it with the gloss to finish them off.

How durable would it be on the sides on a hard top. Thinking maybe a few clear coats on the sides might protect the hard top sides from scratches when out laning or would it tear?

Very interested in this stuff. Never seen anything like it. I'm thinking of doing my roof and spats in black - xtech style.

Where do I buy it?
