seem to recall there was a kit car painted in a similar fashion a while ago that was seen at one of the shows. looked really good in photos but was a pigs-earhole in the flesh.

Or you could just get matt paint, roller than on. £25 and no real effort. :p

It is a impressive finish, however time is money and all that. You cant locost everying to the degree and actaully ever finish!

yaaaawwwnnnnn oh god im tired to day, anyway yeah I've tried these kind of paints, good for old classic cars you know like vintage ones but boy is the surface poor when looked at closely. It also takes ages to dry due to the thickness of paint. Once dry (several weeks later) it can be cut back to not a bad finish. I gave up with the stuff in the end as it was too much work
