Anywhere, I got some from 'Chastilians' at the bottom of my road to do mine
Although one of the cans fucked up and ruined it, so I had to start again.
Looks shit in the pic, it's not shiny like that in real life.

looks well though.

What did you use to 'cook' it on? I plan on using the oven and NOT telling the wife

Heat gun and warm it up, spray it on and heat again. once it starts crinkleing stop and let it cool down. Used the oven for my inlet manifold and it worked very well but small stuff i just use the heat gun.

I didn't use anything, just let it dry as per instructions. I'm sure the heat from the engine has made it crackle more though.
