Two coats of hammerite, leave over night or couple hours at least and job done
Get the brush on stuff its far better than the tin imo, and a thin brush and an inch brush

Finally got round to wrapping the other front pillar. Does any one know if the rounded bit above the glove box is removable? Want to wrap that to and will be much easier if I can take it off

It's £75 excess through insurance. Will that affect my no claims or raise my premiums? And will they get it sorted tomorrow?
