Here's some pictures from today's project. The reason I even did this was because the spoiler was struck by a large rock which cartwheeled up the spoiler (bad marring and scratching) before striking one of the grille blades and making a nasty divot; and it was covered with clear bra.
I started off with some super-thin 3M vinyl tape to define the edges, them followed-up with some blue painter's tape, and finally newspaper. I laid down a mist coat first, followed-up be four progressively heavier coats. The finish came out great and the rock chips are filled in and not noticeable. Once I clean up the edges in a few days, it will be finished.

JAR - You and ms. pint will have no problem doing her rims tomorrow. Take your time. I'd really suggest going to the Dipyourcar.com website and looking at a couple of the videos. Be sure to take pictures. Good luck!

All that's left is scribing a new edge on the spoiler (both sides) and I think I'm done.

  Blue rims for your Z??? It's been busy the whole afternoon, which is nice... mainly is one of the frame sales-rep came in and we were chatting about Northern European and all the sudden he mentioned Kimi Raikkonen..... The sales turned into an hour talk of formula-1 and cars and drivers.....

If it does get chipped badly enough that a small touch up isn't an option, you simply peel it off and do it again.
