OK so the wrapping idea is out of the window as its proving a pain in the ass.

So I need to slap some paint on the plastic pig.

2K still available?
any 'other' alternatives that sure 'fast'?

Stop pissing about and just buy it from Ebay, there's billions of sellers on there.

Local places.
Most places will try not to sell you it, but if you insist they will.

Well lol I had a go at doing the doors with some cheap stuff as a test, and it was fine. I then tried some more complicated bits (front arches over to the bonnet) and it was nearly impossible, so I got a few samples of the expensive vinyl that has the air channels and even then it was a mare.

so rather than waste a good £2-300 worth of quality vinyl (as the cheap stuff was going to be pishing in the wind) and my time. I might aswell 'paint' it white and then add vinyl to the easy bits I was going to do in a different colour anyway.

I thought 2k was the normal industry standard stuff, and it was 1k/cellulose that's hard to get hold of? :confused:
