Just took the badges off masked up the large panel gave it a good clean with the rough edge of a sponge, nothing to serious and loads of light coats to add the colour, the paint stuck perfect and left the same finish as plastic, ill be doing the same to my new grill when the weather gets a bit better

My current state at the moment. If your wondering, a rabbit took my gti badge off and picking up a new one tomorrow. I want to get my grills done first tho.
So we're leaning to 303 over C4?

Good job. How long ago did you do it and hows it holding up?

This is great stuff,
I tried C4 and it didn't really do alot tbh, it didn't restore it to the factory colour, unlike the autotek. C4 is a good product for sure, just not the right one for this job.
