Looks impressive...can you tell us whether you sprayed it, or brushed it, primed it and how much you used on how many doors :y
I looked on their UK website, and can't find beige, only tan, so is that the colour you used :y

From what I've seen, spraying gives a much more even finish :-\

That's what I thought, Gollum, but modern day brushing materials can level out as good as spray at times :y
I really need to tart up my door cards :y

What he says, very interested as the cans only appear to be around £8/10 or so, but as terbert says I cannot find beige either. Also interested in steps taken, primed, sanded or just sprayed on?

You must be quite skilled, as the area masked off with insulating tape is very small!

As regards the masking...if you look at some of the you tube vids, you will see that they don't mask up that well, cause it peels off from where you don't want it coated. Personally, I am not that brave ;D

Thanks for that link, RobG.....only understood the title ;D ;D ;D :y I'll delve some more
