    2 things i've learned when using rubber paint
    - remove the masking asap while it's still wet
    - don't try to re spray a portion if it's already dry to the touch. texture wouldn't be the same anymore
    - removing overspray is a breeze!

    I used carbon fiber film for mine and it came out pretty good. I put it on my old car as well. It is awesome stuff. It will only come off when I want it to come off.

    hey, i'm wondering how well do those vinyl stickers hold on to the hood and/or the roof?

    will it fade or peel over time? or when cleaning it, do i just clean the usual way?

    The photos of the kia up close was when I just installed it. The other photos of the whole car were a year later after a Cleveland winter with lots of salt and snow. It goes through the car wash like normal and wont come off unless you take it off. I am sure there are brands that would not be as good but the one I used was excellent. Once its on you just treat it as its not even there. The instructions say that it should last anywhere from 4-6 years depending on weather and so on.

    Good vinyl stickers can last longer than paint if good quality and applied correctly....

    Plasti-dipped my front bumper last night! Came out pretty well! Next will be new R-SR lowering springs, rims and tires and cat-back exhaust.

    Now all these cars' front bumpers need teeth and tongues.
