That looks great (and the driveway and the view too). You must have steady hands. I thought about doing the trims around the windows too but not confident enough to spray. If it's peelable, maybe I will try the front first. Just wondering, does it not have any effect on the sensors?

He said earlier that they did. I'm shocked that they do still work honestly:

Anyone want to venture in using plastidip as a sound insulator? You can create a tiny barrier between the doors and door panel. It won't so much maybe but it could possibly help reduce squeeks.
Can you take a closer pix of the bumper? I'd like to see the lines and texture. Thanks.

Yeah I really don't have a steady hand, everything was masked off. I should off taken a picture of that too i guess. The funny thing about plasti is you don't mask right up to where you want to paint (except on a straight edge, then you take the tape off right after you spray so it doesn't bond to the tape and mess up your edge). So i had like an inch high black line on my hood after and I simply picked the edge and started pulling and bam its gone. Its actually better to have more overspray then less because it will create a nice bond and it is way easier to pull off.

Looks great on that GS btw. Did you cover the parking sensors??

That's a nice matte blue. I wouldn't mind rocking that with some fresh rims lol.
