your car is coming out very nice! I did a tint overlay on my front emblem. Can't wait to see what's next! Keep up the great work!

I need to place a peace sign over the front emblem...

The big "L" is a little too serious of an ornament...

When I get mine I think I'm going to tape off all my areas I want to black out and use my sprayer which will be alot quicker than my cans. I actually have a extra black plastidip gallon, I might use a topcoat over it for gloss. Love the way the exhaust looks. Plastidip can absolutely handle the heat. People even dip engine covers which is going to be alot more heat than the exhaust. The tips of the rear bumper aren't even connected to the actual exhaust outlet either.

Lol thanks Sandyeggo for the bump! This car is long gone. On to blacking out bigger things... literally.
