Where did you get it from? Only cans of it I can find cost about $35-$40 because of dangerous goods shipping...

prices have gone ridiculously high.

I had some alloy rims done for $20 each

and a full bolt in (6 point) roll cage for $80 by Bayswater powder coaters

this was in the mid 90's but inflation hasn't been that harsh to justify the prices that you guys are talking about!

Mate I know what your saying but as a panel beater, the price of paint isn't 40 50 dollars a liter it's 130 and in some cases more,, and you don't just buy a can fill of a spacific paint code u have to use anywhere between 3 and 10 or more tinkers to make up a Colour code. That's why paint jobs are so exspencive these days.

I purchased the Plastidip from All Boat on the corner of whitfords ave and wanneroo road cost me about $35 from memory well worth it though matte black finish is quality and 2 cans covered all four corners plus if your not happy with it just peel it off !
