That looks ace. Plastidip type stuff?

Haha yes mate! Used the paint from CardipUK much better suited to cars than plastidip. I also have their fuel and solvent resistant lacquer here but my gazebo fell apart before I could apply it!!

That's a good finish. Will look even better with the gloss lacquer

Cheers mate looks good in pics but there's a number of imperfections sadly. The bloody sides of the gazebo blew in and stuck to the wet read quarter lol. Thankfully I can just peel the rear quarter off and redo the section down the line!

I have a litre of both the matte and gloss top coats and was gonna stick to matte with a small amount of gloss chucked in to get a proper satin/semigloss finish

First time running ds2500....damn they're dusty! This is 70 road miles later!

But the other thing...70 miles! I've actually driven it 70 miles on the road! All is good, clutch release bearing sounds totally knackered though do I'll be pulling the gearbox off next week.

Here's another pic to show how crazy this colour is -
