Mike this thread disappointed me.
I was thinking more along the lines of you did this: http://cdn2.holytaco.com/wp-content/...s/gomes1_0.jpg
I'm telling you it's the next big thing. Think of all the fun you get to have peeling it off slowly.

A lot of people are going to be disappointed in you but who cares! Its your car! I plastidipped my interior pieces, the ones around my vents and around my stereo and they came out pretty nice. It looked better than the silver it was before IMO. A lot of people are gonna say its not meant to be used on a whole car blah blah. It looks nice and it will look nice, of course not as good as vinyl or a paintjob but you didnt intend it to look STUNNING or anything, you knew what you were buying. I thought about doing my whole car matte white but my paintjob is so chipped up that I'd have to sand stuff down to get it to stick right and I could probably get a paintjob through people for the same price if I do my own prepwork.

In the end, it's like you said... It is my car and I'll do what I please with it

Looks pretty good Mike! I will say make sure you lay it on THICK because when it comes time to peel it off you want a thick layer you can peel off in big pieces. I remember doing this on a set of wheels and it took me a good 4 hours to take the plastidip off one wheel. Just a heads up if you didn't know already. I look forward to seeing your results!
