Yeah plastidip is the newest craze in the p-plate commodore community. Good for if you want to spray your rims, easy to apply, overspray doesnt really matter as it peels off when dry. Iv done rims, lasted about 6months before it started fading (painted black) but nothing a quick coat doesnt fix. About $30 a tin, iv used a tin to do 2 rims properly.

So people actually pay good money to make their car look like it still needs the top coat sprayed? Wow - there is probably a pill for that these days.

Well pretty cheap if you were thinking of spending dollars for flat black and not sure if you were going to keep it. Just peel it off lol. I watched a video of a guy painting a new audi with it. Dont worry about masking just peel the excess off the headlights and windows... Would be good if you could get it in a tin to mix and apply with a gun.
Local cafe owner drives his SV Diablo like its a datsun. Ive seen him park and mount the curb and gutter his rims almost every time.

not sure if it is 'the' phase 6, but it did have PHASE 6 rego plates.
Snapped at a local turbo / super charging place

Love the xd/xe's
Old lady (god rest her soul) used to have an XE manual 5 speed with a 3.3ltr in it. Boy did that thing used to scream in 1st gear, from memory we used to get around 80km/hr out of it. Had to have auto tranny fluid in the gearbox though otherwise the shifter used to be sticky changing gears.

I think from memory it was a 200 motor. Not sure how many came out with this engine as most were the 4.1 ltr crossflow engines, it was definitely a 3.3ltr though.
