I really liked how Mark's cladding paint looked so I did it for myself a couple weekends ago. I got a little sloppy in a few spots but nothing I cant live with. I however only used 4 1/2 cans of paint. That left me with some touch up paint for the future. While I was at it I painted the cladding screws silver for contrast and rebadged her as a Lotus. Started getting comments (more than ussual) the next morning.
This weekend I used some of the left over paint to coat the hood insert, which turned out fabulous. Prep'ed it with Bulldog. I also tested the paint's durability with a little off-roading. It held up good. Only a few scrapes on the front piece but nothing so bad that I had to get a can out and cover it right away (you only really see it in direct sunlight).
Next paint project is the wiper arms and re-chrome the pillar badges, redden the callipers...
