I did the middle of one of my TT2's turned out pretty good. The thicker you put it on the easier it is to get off.

It's been on the car since October of 2012. Still going strong and haven't had any problems with it washing or anything crazy.

You can buy this in a gallon size... Buy an electric sprayer and your set.

They say it takes 2 gallons to do a small car. if you go to the website in the video you can get a kit to do it all .

Iused it to do the wheels on my V before I had them permanently blacked. It looked great. Just like flat black powder coat. Up close you could tell it wasn't powder coat but that's the only time

Ive used it and it works pretty good. You can't beat the finish after it dries. It looks very smooth and if you don't like it peel it off. It comes off fairly easy.

so scrubbing from washing it and general everyday wear and tear done effect it much? How do you remove it when you want it off?

For the most part it will peel off. I've messed around with it, my buddy did some on his car... I'll have to see if I can find a pic of it.
