Correct me if i am wrong, but i am sure that when i was ringing around for prices, the Equinox kit used the thickest matting, hence being a lot stronger. I am sure it was twice as thick as some of the other suppliers, & as for that colour on Chris' car, very nice deep colour, faultless. I have learned a serious lesson doing this car, i always went for the cheapest option, but if i had to rebuild my car again, i would pay that little extra & go for the quality.
