that looks great, one of the best looking plastidip finishes I've seen on a car. You're making me want to try it out!

-more info on the sprayer?
-how many gallons did you need?
-did you remove any parts from the car?
-did you tape off the windows, or just let the paint get on them and then peel off the excess?

If you do it to save you some money buy white as your base coat the orange covers the white we had a hard time trying to cover up the black paint.

Looks pretty good. Would look way better with the front license plate cover in orange with black bird on it...probably black sail panel too.

I am going to leave it on there. They say this orange color fades in the sun i will keep you guys posted. Probably a whole lot cheaper than wrapping your car.How much is it for a wrap job?

If the dip starts fading i am going to try that on the sail panel.I was thinking about taking it off my mirrors too. I wanted to do the tag black with the orange bird but havent had time to mess with it.
