Thats some great results fella, really need to do something with mine, how long did it take and did you find it difficult/messy or is it fairly easy?

thanks mate, it took about an hour to do my bonnet, not difficult at all, just got to keep the mop moving or you could risk burning through paint! I had it on 1500rpm. You will find your whole windscreen getting covered in red dust but I just washed it after and all looks good. Very happy with the result as I was getting rather concerned about my pink blotchy bonnet! :D

Looks lovely mate. I wanted to have a go at this myself but thought I might make a hash of it but I might try it now.....Great results.

You gotta be happy with that :D

For those contemplating this, go easy on the edges and corners as these bits are the easyest to remove paint from without realising it.
