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.
