hey vector, is your car color "Blue Glow"?

dammit that place is only in QLD and NSW. Does anyone know anywhere in Melbourne that do stuff like this? I heard Supercheap auto may do something like this, but dunno about the quality....

there is a shop in bayswater that will do it. just ring around your area, you'll find what you're after faster.

also at $22 for 300g, the paint would be better quality than some of the rubbish you buy at supercheap etc, and also good technique helps.

there area where my door locks once were are in primer still, the paint that i bought squirted out like that crazy string shit you get in show bags.  once i cleaned it all up i tried again and the paint was really watery and i had to wipe it off.

hope you didnt think i was having a go at your job vector, it looks very good, i was referring to the comments of 'nice job' etc.
