    Great vid. Next time you could spray a Light layer of white paint on the blue after its dryed. That will make the colour much more pop and also will make it a little Lighter. And also it will protect the body a bit from scratches from the inside. :) (or if you want it to be a little darker you can if course back it with black.

      Hi there. I wouldn't the exact same piece as it's likely to be crinkled up and covered in overspray, but absolutely. If you've got something similar or the same material, you can wrap the outside to protect it from overspray when you respray it 👍

    Idea is good, you just have to choose very carefully the graffiti remover, it must be for PLASTIC! Some other may content solvent of polycarbonate (lexan) and will destroy the body. After this video is cool!
