Wheels next and interior bits..... plasti dip is the way forward! Lol

[hairy]

Like it, will be interested to hear how well it lasts.

[chez]

Cheers, think it will last well, fuel cap and surround will be the one to watch I think but if it goes it will just peel off

The surround and v look great - I did mine in plastidip a while back and it's still looking good. Not sure on the filler cap with plastidip tho, I swerved doing that as it comes off too easily - interested to see how that holds up to some wear. Wheels really need changing now you've done this. Good work tho

[chez]

Thanks...... agree re fuel cap, but nothing ventured and all that, got a tin of clear gloss coming which will hopefully shine the bits up a bit and almost act like a rubber lacquer which will help, wheels will be done as well, not sure whether in plasti dip or just buy a kit off ebay, proper gloss black spray paint

[chez]

Or save for a set of Td's

Probably the hardest bit, I just masked around the outside edges but the bits inside the vauxhall badge and in between the vx220 lettering just sprayed, it literally does just peel off so any excess I used a craft knife and scored and peeled

Good job, this plastidip is impressive stuff

[chez]

Cheers, it is, might do my hard top in black as well, lol

I'd be wary of doing stuff like the wheels tbh - they look fckin awful after a few drives/washes and if you have even a mild ocd for things being decent then it'll drive you barmy. Less hassle to just get your ones dipped/sprayed/powdercoated
