DONT get the spray, not only is it shit going on, but it fades and streaks.

halfords do some luminous green stuff ina a blue bottle. pretty good stuff, put it on mine and it stayed proper black for about 6 weeks.

can do it a few times all over out of 1 bottle too. top stuff !

got my car gsi kitted + smoothed + sprayed for £700 in panther black with gold flip.

grahams garage in Balloch, scotland.

i agree with the comment before though - How long is a peice of string - xpect to pay between 500 - 1000ish for a half way decent job from a backstreet garage ( like mines! )

look da bollox 4 bout a year or so till it all flakes off

And thats why it is flaking off. Because you only paid cheap money a good job was not done. A decent respray will last for years.
