Painting my truck...

Post  6cyltdi on Tue Feb 23, 2010 11:40 pm

[b]Right guys I have been looking into some paints. I really need to de-militarise the Zil, colour wise anyway for traveling, intended colour scheme is my good old favourite black and red. I will be removing the radio box for painting and have a huge surface area to cover. I need something not to shiney and that can be easily touched up when I bash/scratch it etc

Something I can apply one coat of and its done 2 if I had too, I don't need a perfect finish but something pretty good, when applied with foam rollers/pads/brushes.

After a good look around I came across these guys http://www.plastidip.co.uk/index2.cfm and like the idea of their HCF (hard coat finish paint) @ £250 for a 25 litre tin.


Does anybody have any experience with this paint or have any other recomendations............?????
