PS - You know I don't wanna get this binned or anything by the way, I am just genuinely interested to see what happens as I want whatever I can get off an LSD obviously! I never saw the harm in a group buy arranged by a forum member who would not gain financially (except through saving on the buy itself) so it was a shame that got canned to be fair. Still, rules is rules eh? Matt |

Will include you when I email them. Presuming no UK taxes on import, there will be the cost of me sending them on to each of you - unless you pickup at a meet etc. I'm hoping that they should be able to bundle the lot for the one postage charge. Plus we should also get a discount for bulk purchase.

Cool.
Just watched this video: It looks to me like it just colours the chips as opposed to properly filling them. In that video you can see a couple of times where he paints the chip and uses the solution but the indent of the chip can still be seen. What are everyone's thoughts on this? |

Just watched that vid. I'll be filling my chips. If that means doing a layer - letting it dry etc, then so be it.
Says on the website STEP 1: The paint is dabbed on with a brush, then lightly smeared with your thumb to smooth the paint flat and flush across the chip. It may be reapplied as needed until it appears to adequately cover the chip.

I look forward to hearing what they say about a group-buy. Out of interest, has anyone tried a touch-up kit from Halfords like this: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165580 Also www.paints4u.com seem to do a good range. None of it looks as simple as a dab on/wipe off process. Just wondered if anyone had tried them...and I assume you can buy a touch-up kit from a stealer too? |

Has anyone used the BMW (Genuine) paint pens or even the scratch remover kit?
Not sure if the links will work or not: http://accessories.bmw.co.uk/interne...&absoluteNav=9 http://accessories.bmw.co.uk/interne...&absoluteNav=9 EDIT: The links do not work |

I've used the BMW paint pens - they're OK. I had to keep applying and polishing back etc to get an (almost) not noticeable finish....

Response - let me know if still in.
We can package all of the kits in the group buy and the savings would be in the combined shipping + we would discount the purchase price of the Road Rash kit by 10%. Effective price per kit would be $68 inclusive of shipping. It would be the responsibility of the individual we are shipping to to distribute the kits once they reach Great Britain. Thank you. Am I correct in saying that its around £45.50?
