anyone used this paint?
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...Id_165495#tab3
Bought a zetec S and the red grip on the steering wheel has worn through and it looks a mess, like all others i will add.
Been recommended this stuff, anyone used it or know one that works better for less?

I was told that it would work, but then someone else has told me, understandably, that it all just wears off after a couple hours of use.
How did yours do? and do you have any before/after pictures mate?

My one was all worn so I just replace the steering wheel with a fiesta black steering wheel which is obviously black, I'd say that stuff would wear off after a while and probably on long drives your hands may look a little bit red

Used it once and its shite. It wont last on a steering wheel. The stuff you want is a self etching vinyl paint like a vht or dupli-colour vinyl paint. They actually bite into the standard vinyl then lay on top.

The label says that the stuff i linked did that but im not so sure it will hold up.

I get all my paints from- brown brothers distribution http://www.brownbrothers.com/contact-us/our-locations
Just enter your post code and give them a call and tell them you want some vinyl paint.
If not the next best will be the interwebs/ ebay.
