Kawasaki Green for me next year?

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

Same method as above, mate. Comfort of my own driveway and all that.

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?

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