Nah I was going to but everything was taped up and the lighting in the garage was chit so it didn't really show well. The gloss makes the colour a fair bit lighter and also emphasises that rough kind of texture that you get from plastidip.

All up to do my 4 wheels as you can see I used one and a half cans of purple and half a can of gloss. If you were too do the full wheels I would use 2 full cans of colour and one full can of gloss. Having done my wheels before I knew how much would be enough.

I got mine more than once through caswell plating in victoria. Here's their ebay link http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/181064260531?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1462wt_905

I ordered the 4 purple plus 2 glossifier and with that I did mine and my mrs wheels and had a good can or 2 left over.

Joncitizen for $25 I would get one can of glossifier. Do your base colour first then see how you like it and if your not a fan add a coat of gloss at a time. I went for a more satin finish not that real glossy look

thinking of doing my tool handles with this one for work. Anyone used it? how durable is the stuff and will it stick to everything?

I think this stuff was originally designed for tool handles. If you want it for tool handles see if you can get the undiluted stuff. You basically get a tin of it and dip the tool habdle in, then lift it out and you have a coated handle (hence plasti dip). The stuff most of us have is the spray cans which I believe already contains thinners for painting.
