That would suck really bad if you accidentally grabbed a spray paint can instead of the plasti and started spraying your friends car. "Oh dude this **** comes right off" "Look at the dick I just sprayed on ur door....... Oh ****, this is spray paint"

MEH! Makes those rectangles tooooooo big. There's a nice visual balance there before it's blacked out. I like the stock look.

Hmm...not really a fan. Interesting idea and good execution, but there are no body lines for it. Every other vehicle with this has body lines or bumper indentations that match. I just think it looks a tad out of place.

I actually think it would prolly look good on any color.... You should do it just for sh*ts and giggles... You never know it might just clean... It doesn't cost anything

I dig it. I like the front a lot and the original rear. Almost makes me wish I didn't have a black car. Almost.

30 minutes between each coat. 2 hours after the last coat for reinstall of grill. To be safe I'd buy 4 cans. 28$ plus tax. Hopefully it doesn't break ur wallet. ; ).
