Shoonay · 27 May 2009, 20:45

@JuvUK: great paint job!
@metal fan: great blow job!

I do not like the glossy finish. You maybe should have used vinyl dye instead!

lopos2000 · 27 May 2009, 20:57

Looks great JuvUK. Good job.

to each his own m8, but i was going for a ferrari look i.e glossy and shiney

Damion · 28 May 2009, 01:15

Dude that is simply bad-ass! Nice job!

skateblind · 28 May 2009, 02:04

Great work, the glossy finish would probably look better in person, but does suit the ferrari theme.

Who is going to do the Skoda one?

"Vinyl Dye is a special kind of paint that is used to paint plastics. Unlike normal paint which puts a color coat on the surface vinyl dye 'seeps' into the plastic and colors it from within. This means that the surface detail of engravings/reliefs is not affected and the paint can not be scratched or peeled away. "

WOW, incredible!!!
I didn't know it could be done... a paint which gets "absorbed" and doesn't peel away!

Where can it be bought?

Amiga1992 · 28 May 2009, 05:09

The worst thing about normal paint to me is that it;s difficult to form a uniform layer... you can notice discrepancies usually, and these glossy types are dust magnets, hard to keep clean for they remain sticky for months.
