Mine is definitely having a colour change next year too. Not decided into what yet but strongly considering Nato green.

And loads of mugs of tea!

I'll do mine with rollers too. The beauty is, you're not at the mercy of a body shop if it needs repairing.

Read the magazine again this AM and it says polyurethane is best. I can only find synthetic.

Anybody know if this will work well or be terrible?

Seen the colour I want on a VW Scirocco at the Top Gear live show arena today.

Did my old VW van in colour matched Rustoleum (part mixed with white spirit) using this method. Worked a treat.
