I seen this and did my Berger panel and 4 inch Cowl hood turned great. For cheap its a great way to test ideas before making them permanent.

I just sprayed my sail panel, going to take a pry bar and rip the crappy one off my car later. I'll post up pics once it's installed.

my sail panel looks like this:



so I chopped one off of another car, broke it in the process, and since it was off a 99' and I know it will bubble eventually I sprayed it with this:



and Odessa620, if you decide you want your hood flat black with this stuff just trade for mine hahah, it's silver underneath:

Haha, I don't think i'll have a problem keeping it off of my car after seeing how hard its been to pull it off everything else i put it on, everything else I don't care about better watch out though.

If I find out parents still have the pressure washer though I'm going to do a CETA to see how I like it in person if I find it really is that easy to blow off. Its on my to do list when I get another day off.

hahah yeah I sprayed it on pretty thin so I'm hoping the pressure washer makes it easy, I figured either way it would be easier than sanding off spray paint

Hows that holding up on the fridge? thats a nifty idea, save me a lot of work painting mine lol.

I'm going to do my wheels with this too I think, just trying to decide if white or black will work better with the gray, but I could do both for this price

The fridge was my first experiment, didn't do thick enough of a coat, it got into the texture on the fridge and was a pretty big pain in the *** to get off and it didn't make the gf too happy. I wouldn't recommend it.

Going to try and do my wheels. Trying to figure out how I can do a "chrome lip". While keeping it all even.

Also probably spray the billet grille. Camaro came with it and Im not to big a fan of the stainless grille, I prefer it to be straight black..so mid as well!!!!!

I found clear and white in spray cans on Amazon too. Home Depot by me only has the black in spray cans.
