I will post pictures of it dry. It looks bad sometimes when its painted and wet. But once dried it looks nice and uniform. You just have to resist the urge to keep painting trying to fix something that is actually perfect.

You have taped up the front fender that was previously painted. Any ripping of the plasti dip when you remove the masking tape?

Btw, PM'd you about the TLC stickers... - any response? Available, not available, discontinued....?

Hahaha, yes, there was a bit of fail mod, but after seeing what happens, I quickly recovered. But there is one spot that will need touch up.

Never use Painters tape from the dollar store lol


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
about the decal
no that was my mistake. I think what happens sometimes is if I message back to back I get get a warning I have to wait 60 seconds before sending another message. I probably shot thru responding to messages and didnt see the message saying to wait. If that is the cases, Sorry.

Yes there are stickers available. let me know what method works for you. 5 bucks a decal. Shipping is free.

Weather on the weekends have been wet but this good Friday will be in he day I get it finished excluding the hood and trunk. Those will be taken off last and done properly.

All in all I am very happy with it so far.
