I didn't remove the tape properly and have a couple of spots where the paint peeled. Since I used the DupliColor Shadow (it is a translucent coating), I'll eventually redo it without taping anything. It will just make the smoked lens a little darker.

I've screwed up painting mine twice now. I've got a set of Nismo wheels headed off to get painted soon, and I'll just throw the turn signals into the deal. Get it done right. I'm a retard with a rattlecan.

Well, I actually purchased a second set from a forum member who sold his Z. I did several coats on them, and they came out super dark. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but I thought it looked fine. I even removed all the tape very cautiously, and the lines were very clean. Of course, then during the install, I dropped one of them on the concrete, scratching the hell out of it. So I pulled off my stock original ones and did the single coat, and thought it looked great. Then I got antsy and didn't take my time removing the tape and a couple of edges peeled. I've been getting a lot more practice over the past year, so I'm much better with the rattle can. I'm going to get some more KAD paint and color match a lot more of the silver trim on the interior. It's a subtle change, but I like it a lot.

You know what the Z stands for? Now how could you think of desecrating it with Batman?
