paint was called angelus paint the guy in the shop says its used for customising trainers

ive got my fingers crossed for you that the hairspray doesn't wear off!! i'll keep an eye out for someone getting out of an E30 with a white back and ass! lol

seriously though i hope it works - and certainly can't knock the job for the money you have put in! keep us informed.

if it does wear off though now you have the expensive bit (the spray gun) you could get this to make it seal.. just a thought.

the £9.20 one would do the whole interior with at least two coats.
