    Aqua print. Yay or nay

    Anyone have experience with aqua print Ireland.
    Is the finish durable? Is it a quality finish?

    It isn't durable at all and it isn't a quality finish, just get whatever it is painted.

    How poor is the durability?

    What I want cannot be painted

    Bump it at all and it'll chip.

    In short, a complete waste of money from my experience.

    Interesting , I have seen fellas on youtube trying to damage it and its holding up well. They also said they would stand over it if it peels or damages through poor durability

    Mine peeled after about a month on the drivers internal door grab. I went for a glossy black like piano black. They did say to bring it back but I never got round to it. Other pieces have held up very well. I’d certainly give them a try.

    What are you getting done?

    Hmmm that's not promising. I was thinking of getting my e46 dash , gear trims and door handles done.

    I was also getting the back of my new (to me) recaro CS seats done.

    If there is a even a faintest hint that this will peel I'm not interested. The hassle of removing to get them redone is a major thumbs down for me.

    I would not be a happy camper of the back if the recaros started to peel.

    I'm sure it's all got to do with preparation. If the operator is good then hopefully shouldn't be an issue.

    When did you have your done?

    For 210 sterling you can get lovatt in cutters to do an amazing job . Only problem is I want a finish he cannot do. But might consider just plain paint to avoid hassle in future, if it's a possibility this will peel.

    Dash trim, gear surround , door handles, backing plastics for recaro CS seats.

    I want them in carbon 1x1 plain weave. As close as possible to OEM CSL centre console/ OEM m3 carbon roof.

    Not interested in 2x2 carbon twill. ( Zig zag)

    I would be interested in this for some pieces of trim on the Boxster.
    I would prefer to get it done locally if possible, depending on the finish...
