yes lol, i think i got 5 litres for £15

the one that you posted i found in a shop for 2 quid haha


sorted now im just redoing them yey

i'm trying to do mine but its taking ages, how many coats does it need? i done 5 and theres hardly any difference

i see, ignore the bit on the can about doing light coats and pile it on, job done

yes lol, ignore light coats and do thick coats, i did 1 thick coat on mine and its perfect, i didnt want them too dark but still noticably tinted.

mine have gone bloody white in a few places

im gonna have to strip em and do it agin now :bang:

any ideas why its only in one or 2 spots and not all over like before?

Yeh, means it reacting with something or the layer is too thick, can you not post pictures up? Soap, spirits etc can do that

Jordan

ill run and get a photo now... mite not be that great as its kinda dark now

hmm... ill have to take it all off again but i cant be arsed doing it right now so ill leave it for a few days

1 mo for the photo...

maybe not giving them an even coat?

have u tried tcut on them once dry? removed all the whiteness from mine

I dont have any T cut i just used paint thinners... here are the photos

thats similar to what was on mine except more of it was covered in white. tcut took it away and gave them a nice shine

Hell thts strange, are they dry now? and you did do them off your car didnt you? You need to make sure they're clean id say and spray them off the car in a warm environment, do a light coat at first, look across it with a light at the far end and check for any imperfections, them do a coat double that, and double that again and it will turn out nice, and hopefully without whites. Thats how i do mine and our customers:

Yeh bang a big enuf washer over it and wang a nut over the end

Jordan

and yes i took the lights off to spray them... its wierd isnt it.. it only came up after the second coat.. i did a light coat 1st and they were fine and then after my 2nd coat that happened

mine came out a bit white but as the others suggested some autoglym super polish (gloorified t-cut) made them shine!
