    This will mainly be directed at Scottie.....

    How much did you use when doing your light surrounds etc.?

    Do I need to get the 1 Litre Can or will the Junior Can be enough?

    Planning on doing my headlight surrounds and boot handle. Depending on how that goes will depend if I experiment with de-chroming bits!

    I'm just away to buy a grille and get it done. Would also like to know how much you used for that!

    well I needed two of the spray cans. Still have half of the second can left

    for the light surrounds front and back, spot light brackets and the grille surround.

    I also bought the junior can for touch up as Allan rubbed some of the plastidip off when re fitting the spot lights, but my grille will need redone when the weather improves as you can notice the touch up bit

    To date other than the damage Allan done all other bits are fine and nothing has chipped yet!!!

    So would you advise getting the spray cans over the actual tins then Fi?

    not sure which would be best it's easy stuff to use. Think when I re do the grille I'll use the brush junior can I have and see what it's like.

    Thanks you for the advice

    I've ordered a tin of the spray from eBay - I reckon one will be enough to begin with.

    Once you've re-painted your grill let us know if there is any difference in finish between painting and spraying

    Spray tin is easiest!

    I have half a tin left and I used it to cober my chrome fuel cap (3 x coats) and lighr surrounds (4 x coats each)!
