Okay! I got most of the work done this morning. I have yet to dip the rims but I'm actually considering leaving them be. I might try one out and see how I like it and then make a decision from there. But I have uploaded a few shots of the finished product. It came out much better this time around! The box cutter helped more than I had imagined! Much cleaner but still imperfect. Enjoy!

Nick is right..but I happened to have removed my tape after several hours and it wasn't as bad as I had expected. It did take longer than I had expected, though; but I am very careful about removing it slowly with a box cutter for a smooth line-- but be very careful not to scratch your car if you choose to use this method. I think it should make for a clean line either way you choose to go.
As far as tips go, make sure not to short change yourself on the tape job and be sure to do light coats, especially the first one! I got excited and sprayed the hell out of the second coat lol I was trying to make sure I covered the crevices that I hadn't hit yet and it left a few sloppy conglomerates of paint that dried and looked like lines with a rough texture. It's not difficult to fix if you are careful with the other coats, though! I ended up doing 4: first and fourth coats were a light dusting, second and third were pretty solid coats that covered the majority of the paint. If I could recommend one thing further than I have done it would be to be sure to cover the entire exhaust and spray underneath the diffuser on the "invisible" parts as opposed to just the visible rear area like I did. I saved the best for last...be sure to spray in a consistent left to right pattern so you get even coating on each spray! Good luck and post pics once you get it done! I should be receiving my black vinyl to black-top my roof today! I'll update with pics once I get it done...probably not until the weekend; unless, of course, if I get antsy and dive in after work! (Not very likely lol) Last edited by GhazaliGTE; 10-10-2012 at 07:52 AM. |
