Just gave it a good clean with isopropyl wipes first to ensure it was clean enough. Then gave it 3 heavy coats. Been great doesn't mark or anything & matches the interior very well

Cheers Rob, managed to get a can off eBay (prices are rediculous) as i want to have a play with it. Looked on Google but wanted to hear it from someone I who has actually used it that I've had dealings with.

A mate fitted both of mine, it's all DIY unless you pay big money I'm afraid.

Depends what you call big money - most people who do it don't charge much more than the cost of the dremel that you'd need to buy to it yourself

I was more referring if you went to a business opposed to some of the local lads that fit them
