sooooo no cameras in the car park, bloody footscray :bang:

but i gave it a bit of a polish and it seems about half of the marks were just rubber, so now just a scratch and big demt to fix up :(
ill chuck a picture up when im home.

and had a go at taking the bumper strips off, but both strips peeled off some paint at the very start so i shat myself and shoved those bad boys right back on.

is there anything i can do to stop the paint peeling or am i just stuck with it?

With the fabric did you spray that black ?
How well did it turn out, a few people told me not to looks shoddy and only do the plastic... but yours looks like it came out nice.

yeah man i used that vht vinyl dye, its better for the fabric cause it dyes it instead of painting it. i wasnt sure how it would turn out but i really like it and i reckon it would sweet. but yeah thats only one coat over the original grey so it could probaly use a 2nd but it looks good as is

is the vht vinyle dye in a can or ?
How do you apply if not its not the can dab it on with something ?

yeah it comes in a can, so its just like spray paint. i just took the door trims off and masked up the plastic parts and sprayed the material.
i had to ask around a few repcos to get it though, seems they dont stock much
