See Phil doesn't only work with metal, he's a god with other material aswell.

The seat was cracked in quite a few places, i was going to leave it as i was unsure on how to fix plastic. I dyed it red but it went burgundy. I took it to Phils when i was next round and he said he could try and do something at work.

Top man, he even managed to give the seat a textured look like how it was originally, then a trip to B&Q for the plastics paint and job done.

Can't thank you enough mate.

Had to come back for a second look and seen the seat restoration pics; fantastic stuff even more proof you can save stuff from the landfill with great results. What paint did you use, was it a plasticote or something?

cheers

Marty

Yes Marty mate, it was a plasti-kote paint in satin from B&Q.
