Very well done. I was considering doing something similar. Did you tint the dip yourself? How long did it take you to do it?

I had it done at a detail shop. Took the 2 days. one for paint prep and masking.second for spraying and unmasking. No tint . It's a clear matte dip. It makes whatever color your car is matte. It's not a true matte. It's between matte and satin.

I dunno, reminds me of cars left out in the sun for 10+ years and it burned through the clearcoat.

Interesting, i would have to see this in person or at least see an SLR camera shot to get the full effect. Props for doing something not a lot of others have done and thank you for not wrapping your car lol

not yet, i wish i had touched up the few paint chips i had before i did it though. they show right through. im not gonna baby it either. im gonna give it 3 weeks to fully cure then i will be going through the carwash like i did before . im gonna change the color to matte dark grey dip next spring, so im gonna hammer on this one to see how it holds up.
