My can has gone down very quickly since switching to water based paints - they seem very susceptible to being scratched off compared with the solvent paints I was using.

Also- you seem to need quite a few coats to get a nice covering.

Mr Parker - what's your Plastikoting workflow ?

On my own shells I always use some white 'cricket bat tape' on the insides as well (search for it on ebay) - it's great and helps the shells last years. I just run a length along the sides of the car and pop a piece where the body touches the chassis - like on the body post mounts.
