Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 1m 2d 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 1m 2d 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
