My spray can job is now 3-4 years old and still looks as good as it did when done. It is not so great as it was done outdoors and a hot change happened midway which caused the paint to dry before landing, however a vigorous sand before applying the clear coat made it look OK , at least better than milky clear coat that was about to peel at some stage. I polish it regularly and it still beads water well.
The silver colour over Oslo Blue looks great and is about 20C cooler on a hot day. I have also covered my skylights with Chrome wrap. If it were to fail which I doubt I would just do it again! as it only costs 100-200 in materials.
Look an old D2 will also pick up many bush stripes on the sides if used as many are used , as mine has.
My bonnet has numerous flying fox **** marks on it , and a dent but I do not want to try to paint that as I know my limitations. I also repainted a grille with a Supercheap Oslo Blue can and clear coated it and it still looks great.
I hear what you say but to spend bulk dollars on a dunger D1 is just not sensible.
Regards PhilipA
