Barefaced Two10 - Tolex or Acrylic finish

I will be looking to purchase a barefaced Two10 in the coming weeks and was wondering if any of you out there can advise on the long term durability of the 2 finish options, the standard Tolex or the optional Acrylic finish. Is one proving to be better than the other?

Brilliant :)

I build cabs. I've got about half a roll of vinyl left but after a couple of years of using acrylic it may never get used unless someone asks me specifically. It's just hard/impossible to invisibly mend and you've then got to treat the cab with kid gloves or accept the road worn look. The acrylic is much tougher than I expected and is wearing well, I haven't needed to touch it up yet but knowing I can is a bonus.

Out of interest, which acrylic coating are you using Phil? When I have made cabs in the past I have used Tuffcoat, but I didn't really find it that hard wearing - though easy to touch up.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the advice.

I have placed an order with Alex for a Two10 with acrylic finish, also gone for the cab cover just in case and even ordered the T-Shirt (well it is my 60th birthday present).

Again many thanks for all your replies.

Was she ok after the long journey? She didn't seem too happy about going in the box, especially with so few clothes on... ;-)

cgg199: I'll try to get some pictures together at the weekend.

gjones: as far as I am aware the standard finish is Tolex and you can request the acrylic at extra cost. Alex does offer a customizing option on his cabs so drop him an email with what you are looking for.
