I did my wheels and side gills with Full dip(another brand). The gills were harder to do as they are very slick, the Full dip had a hard time sticking to it and be smooth but you have to get close to see it. 😊

Well I did my side vents last night , didn't remove them just taped up car. I will do my hood vents but I think I will try and remove them , hopefully not to hard.

You know, I'm not a fan of dipping or going with a blacked out look; but this looks really slick with the matte gray like this. Nice stuff!

I wonder what a rear spoiler to match would look like? Maybe too much, but it might look good?
