    Darich, 1 tin wouldn't be enough for grill and boot, get 2 to be safe as it sprays really thinly which is why you need 4-5 coats. only supplier in UK is http://www.plastidip.co.uk/eStore/in...stidip&stage=1

    Thanks Thomas....I found that link and noticed what appears to be the same seller on ebay.

    Might get a couple of tins and give it a go...but I'll need to buy a few newspapers first!!!

    I've been given a link to 75mm wide black pvc builders tape on ebay which is only 11.99 so I'm going to try that and see what it's like

    Looks like the only retailer in the UK is plastidip website www.plastidip.co.uk

    you can buy it through ebay too but I think it still comes from the same retailer

    I've gone for tape -
    less messy
    less hassle if you make a mistake
    quicker
    easier to remove if the need arises

    couldn't recommend one spray or paint since I haven't used either
