sweeeeet...  

they have loads of cool stuff, although their website is a bit arkward; I can never find a thing!
I spent 1/2hr looking for crackle  black paint for my dashboard the otherday, in the end I emailed them and they sent me a direct link to it within about 10mins :)

pete, i used the white wall paint from north hants tyres years ago on the chevy, here's g/f of the time applying it for me-

it lasted all of about 200miles before going grey and looking shite. I would avoid it.
