Default NBM Trans Am CETA and other Plastidip

Hello guys, happy early Thanksgiving, I just did the CETA mod and other lil plastidip in my NBM Trans Am, I didn't knew if back would look good on navy blue but I like how it looks here are a few pics of CETA and the bird, also did the letters that say Trans Am but forgot to take a pic. Tell me What you think.
The car is dirty because of just sitting under the carpot.

Looks good OP. I like it. Like said before, it's subtle changes like that that makes a difference.

Looks good but it's not the same improvement as if your car was white. Dark cars don't need the back broken up as much as the lighter colored ones do. I really like your exhaust tips!

I think it's a good improvement, taking in consideration that it only took me less than an hour to do all that, I'm thinking of plastidiping the spokes of the wheels but I don't know if it will look good. What Ya think?

Looks good, not digging the instagram pics. Cant see all the detail. I did the same thing about 3 months ago. Thinking about doing some racing stripes, or a firebird on the hood. If I dont like it, I can just peal it off.

Well this was my first time dipping but I heard it can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, of course thats What I have read but I'm not positive and I guess it also depends on prep work and things like that.

So the best way to plasti dip is to spray over a large area and cut the excess after ehh? I had badluck trying to paint my SS ram air by taping it..

I TAPED mine and it came out good, I also did some on the Hood of much truck and had to use a razor blade to separate the tape from the dip so it wouldn't come off, the best way to do it is to tape it but avoid the edges until the end and just spray then heavy and remove tape quick before it dries.

How were you able to keep the plastidip from pulling off the badges when you peeled it off the door?

The badges are taped on from the factory, leaving a slight "edge" or gap between the badge and the car (you can see it in the pics). The edges of the badge seemed to be "self cutting". I used NO knife or razer blade to remove it from the car. I just pulled it at about 45* to 90* from the car. when I did the CETA mod, you can see the tape around the PONTIAC area. I sprayed that... but it did pulled out. I will try again later after I figure out how to do it. When I sprayed the bird on the front bumper, it pulled off thefirst try. So I sprayed it again and used an exacto knife (hobby knife, box cutter, ect...) to LIGHTLY trace it out. I did use a tooth pick to get the stuff between the leters, and inside the letter A. I will post pics of the front one day, but it looks like everyone elses.
