No chance... The paint needs mixing too and there is no way I'm opening a £135 2 litre pot of paint before it needs to

It's a standard middle section. Going to make a new exhaust up for it for the new back bumper, but I think i'll just use a standard centre section, unless I can find something with the right bore. Needs to be 2" at a guess...

its about £180 for 2 litres as its glasurit paint which is one f the best products you can get, so the paint should last a long time, we use it on porsches and they have a lifetime garantee so has to be good

most stuff is about £40 a litre, and what the mixing ratio for it cos normally its just 2:1.

Also glasurit is very good stuff, we use it on the prestige cars we do so, Porsches, Ferrari`s, Lambo`s etc.

Really does go on well.
There laquer is also very good and flows out very nice but get a run in it and its a bugger to block out!
