When I did a set, I used a power dremel and took it down to the first base coat. Cleaned with brake cleaner, then started to tape off areas with 3M tape and prep for a base coat.

Base Coats
Color Coats
Brembo Stickers
Clear Coats

the sparktech is cool, but I think you need a different font or a cooler logo...just looks too plain and maybe too big.

Here is my contribution. This is the best picture I've got. I was really mad that the BBS was upside down. Should have rolled the car forward a bit before the pic. Oh well.
