LOL @ the photo.
Since it's plastidip, you can always peel it off, so no harm done.

Much better then what you had going on before.

i'm also doing this by hand, no spray gun.
I am awaiting a proper spray nozzle, then i'll head down to a half-enclosed car wash bay to recoat the panels at least 3 more times...
Next time i'll have to be a little more patient and hope that in-between coats, pollen doesn't come flying on the car like it did the first time. If I can still see lines then so be it, still looks better than before and I hear it lasts 3-5 years.
That tollbooth pic made my mind up for me, I wanted to vinyl wrap it, but this is the alternative.

That's a 94-97 850 front bumper cut in half horizontally, turned upside down, and bolted to my stock bumper. Took about 2 hrs cutting and splicing...

They (VS) wax their cars? I thought the lastest craze was to wrap them in viynl so the paint is flat. At least thats what won the IPD show.

They charged me $1.00 for the toll, and $2.50 administrative fee. I pay these as soon as I get em, I don't procrastinate it's only $3.50.
