December 16, 201411 yr Author More research done , look like I'm gonna do it mid - end of February when it's get a bit warmer Picked colour at least
December 16, 201411 yr Been reading more / watching you tube I not got a garage ( tho I'm applying for planning in jan ) the gun / sprayer is 120 quid , then the material comes to about 190 - 220 plus tape etc I can buy a gazebo off eBay 6x3 for 55 quid and they are always handy Think 400 quid and do it myself and I have the kit Did you check this site out matt http://www.matt-pack.co.uk/product/starterkit/ you get everything in their pro starter kit and the gun wont need the nozel moddin like if u buy the argos 1.
December 16, 201411 yr Author That looks like where I will get the paint from Seen a lot of the guns for a lot less , but some say you don't need to adjust the nozzle on certain makes
December 16, 201411 yr Author But yeah you get all the little bits with it that add up like the dip cleaner and prep is a tenner each ! A decent mask is 20 quid
December 17, 201411 yr Author Next quote come in 40 quid more than I can get all the stuff for and showed me a couple cars he just finished today !! One was black the other was Cameleon ! Think I'm going yellow with gunmetal roof / wheels
December 23, 201411 yr Author Decided against it now , gonna spend my money on tuning Tho I'm gonna do my roof and wheels gun metal grey
December 23, 201411 yr [emoji20] shame was looking forward to seeing the results...although will still be keen to see the wheels [emoji16]
December 23, 201411 yr I want to see one that's been done. I've seen the youtube videos. But want to see one up close they make it look easy to peel it off. Might end up seeing a Blobeye done before too long if I can see one up close :)
December 23, 201411 yr Author Loads of coats is the key Going dark to light is a pig which is putting me off , getting the car White first !! M
December 23, 201411 yr I'm sure I could think of a couple of bit's off my scoob you can practice on , if you want I'll chuck em in the post matt Come to think of it I've always fancied a arden blue classic with white rims [emoji4]
December 23, 201411 yr I'll take it to a professional to be done I just want to see one. After seeing how easy they remove it from the lights I want to know ho it stays sealed :)
January 20, 201511 yr Author Right, Relive this thread Been looking and looking, I saw a dark grey car locally, didn't like it was like primer ! so thought ah mix some blue pearl into it and do like a metal flake but after chatting to Matt-Pack it dont work to well or wont give me what i want SO more endless videos and forums (all based in the states), Decided against the whole car as i wanted a 52D wagon for ages and now i got one.... Why change it... BUT aggression is the key Female owner of my car before me, roof fudged from handbags and keys lets look into that , First up colours... Was thinking yellow roof ?? Would be different but then it would look like those scene VWs which i hate, So more youtube videos leading me towards matte black , Its easy and simple where are we? Well the grey looks like primer and will stick out like a sore thumb i think on my blue and carbon wagon , saw a video on the Metalizer range (metallic finish) only available in spray can and very powerful finish, This started me thinking about a gunmetal grey / anthracite metallic roof !! YES that hits all the buttons, dark grey still a bit shiney YES THATS IT ! saw the videos perfect till...... My mate is building a scoob powered beetle text me "im going for a plasti dip stormcloud" now we do alot of shows together throughout the year and this !Removed! on my plan i dont want us to match lol!! more you tube videos Then stumbled accross the Copper metalizer, Loads of clips and people trying to replicate the Rota bronze colour and some acutally look copper ! very cool i thought for wheels , No real UK experience from what i find so went on the US forums for some advice few people have tried this and had a good result, Matte black base with the copper metalizer over to give a black with a copper metalflake, Apparently 5 coats of black base then a coat of copper gives it a nice look, Then if i want to beef up the copper more then i just add to suit (eventually it will look like copper!) So thats my plan..... Roof and top spoiler like this and the rails etc in plain matte black Then my wheels need a new look, I am going to match my wheels to the roof origionally... Yeah would look nice i thought! But saturday morning i stumbled accross a video of Carbon fibre effect !! .... So could i do a copper look carbon fibre ?? Ive got the stuff to make it look carbon fibre, that arrived this morning and i got the matte black and copper coming by monday!
January 20, 201511 yr Author im gonna do my old wagon spoiler first as a tester i got some normal glossifier too incase it dont work
January 20, 201511 yr Author he has used a different pattern, i will be going for a more traditional square pattern
January 22, 201511 yr Author well my bronze carbon didnt work at all!! so ive residied to the fact i need to keep it black - grey for now!! Bronze wheels tho hehe
January 23, 201511 yr Author Did it in a warm environment mate on a old spoiler , think it's the metalizer it didn't look right and patchy
January 24, 201511 yr Author Attempt 2 today ! Well forgot I left my phone at work so no pics Got my old wagon spoiler , a tin of matte black ! First up most coat , then a more mist then on the third I went full on coverage . You can tell the more coats you add the smoother it looks , the texture was fine it was like a rubber which u would expect Let those dry and scratched and clawed at it and no damage !! Started to peel it and after 5 mins would never tell I done it !
