    Andrew is right, Onvi Yellow was terrible.

    Its actually a milking of the top clear coat I believe. Right pain in the arse

    Not even going to go into all the problems and hassle I have had with the Lacquer and paint on my Ovni Yellow, and SEAT not willing to budge on doing it under warranty. Got thrown back and forth between SEAT UK and the stealers.

    I took the plunge and got mine resprayed in 2008. Sooo much better.
