Classic Red in a Can?

Postby GP » Fri May 18, 2007 1:31 pm

I was wondering whether it's available, Have looked at Coventry's, Repco and Supercrap without any luck.

I've bought it in a small can from Supercrap.

although initial results can be pretty awsome
but believe me.....its not really worth while.

do it properly

Probably want them to colour match your car and make up a can. I got a can of PowerPlus from Autobarn. The problem with these is they dont take into account paint fade as i found out.

I was going to try and fix some small chips in the textured area on the lower half of the car, There doesn't seem to be much fading going on down there.

I filled my scratch with it and it worked fine but it was about 3 shades to bright. The sractch was down the left hand side of the car just above the textured part. Depends on what your doing i guess. Chips should be fine
