Yes, but over time, i.e. 6 months or so ure paint from the halfords cans will go a bit crappy and the laquer will crack etc... | |

Good price that. I'll start with the plastic rocker cover then go on from there. I'd prefer to do it myself as it'll be fun. Plus i'd like to start doing stuff myself rather than paying others to do it. | |

I'd like to attempt it myself though. Thats an easier option yes but it wont be done by me that way. I'll put the parts to other uses like interior bits and eye brows and stuff. | |
