Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 6m 6d Posted 11/06/12 11:23 AM Share Posted 11/06/12 11:23 AM Yea it is but isnt it quite expensive comparatively to plastidip, either way they're both good choices if you want to go matt Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78314-respray-matte-black/page/8/#findComment-1252612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 6m 6d Posted 11/06/12 11:45 PM Share Posted 11/06/12 11:45 PM Nah there isn't in Australia yet. But its not that hard to do, just need a full day. Can either use the aerosol cans or if you have a air compressor you could buy a spray paint gun and the plastidip tubs (which are cheaper). Its more an effort thing than anything. I'd do it if I could afford it lol. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78314-respray-matte-black/page/8/#findComment-1252778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
