+1 have done a few mates cars with it. Works well if you do it properly and it seems to cover well without having to put too many coats on.

All I did with mine was wipe the paint off the original white paint with thinners but putting it on something flat would work really well, just make sure it's VHT. Mine are still perfect after nearly 3 yrs so it works well if done properly.

Prepsole and a wire brush! Scrub the balls of them for the best results
