Well spotted Chris ![]() Got to be the easiest way to change things, mask off the surrounding area, do a bit of prep work, spray a few coats - light coats so you get a smooth texture, I went a bit heavy on the letters , hence the slight texture (wheels are smooth though) let it dry for a bit (2 fags and a coffee is plenty) then peel off the excess. It cuts itself neatly around the letters as long as you have done light coats. It takes a few days to cure properly, then apply some wax and jobs done. The beauty of it is you can peel it off when/ if you get bored, but in the meantime it's a durable finish and will survive pressure washing, and chemical wheels cleaners etc. I have done a bit of testing and although it can be peeled when you want, it is no more susceptible to scratching etc as a clear coat and paint would be - especially with the right curing and waxing. The downside is its like hens teeth in uk, easy to get in USA . I got mine from Alan at mattpack - he's imported it direct from USA.

Forgot to say, nothing was removed from the vehicle so quite straightforward, I guess if you had to take a wheel off/change tyres then you might sustain damage , but easy to do another coat, plus I haven't changed a tyre in seven years so hopefully that'll continue ![]() Dj 1989 200tdi 90 csw 2011 110 usw Orkney grey Buy British 🇬🇧 Defender Clothing Designs available at http://www.rangesports.com/acatalog/Defender-Stuff.html |

![]() Full cure in this climate would be probably be a week or so (3-4 days in sunny Florida) or so I'm told by my buddy out there. Just for interest, if it lasts on a bonnet, why not the whole vehicle? Coverage wise a kit to do up to 19" wheels is four cans of the USA spec product, I ended up using just on three for a 16" boost, that's about 10 coats, the American experts usually suggest 4-6 coats of black. Got a pretty decent layer, judging by the peelings from the bonnet. Quite a fun product to use really ![]() Dj 1989 200tdi 90 csw 2011 110 usw Orkney grey Buy British 🇬🇧 Defender Clothing Designs available at http://www.rangesports.com/acatalog/Defender-Stuff.html |

Cheers Steve (easy as well) I did consider stocking it as I have used it for a couple of rifle stocks as a change from hydrographics, but space is a bit restricted so probably not (although I do have a couple of full cans on the shelf ![]() DJ 1989 200tdi 90 csw 2011 110 usw Orkney grey Buy British 🇬🇧 Defender Clothing Designs available at http://www.rangesports.com/acatalog/Defender-Stuff.html |
