we use a 3m product but its the same really ,its a foam cord /string its actually called "trim lifting tape"

there shouldnt b rubbers that need replacing ,most of them can just b removed /cleaned up and replaced.if u arent getting the windscreen in/out run a peice of string under the rubber (lift the rubber with a plastic spreader or whatever and push the string in between the windscreen pillar and the gla...

wahae there me again richie howdo :mrgreen: :mrgreen: i would say if its a panel from the car its prob best to paint it lying flat if u can (less chance of runs this way and you can really leather the paint on so its gona flow really well.HOWEVER this way you have to make sure your gun will not drip...

thanks guys ,i didnt think you could put u/l in thought it had to b super .will turn the boost down if i get stuck as iv got it at 16psi ,easy enough to adjust

personally i wouldnt pay £85 ,just go for a half decent set from camskill or something like these http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m5b0s612p2802 prob about £30 all in with postage .they look better than the standard ones .the whitelines are really good looking but do you need adjustable d...
