Minor set back. I put on the first coat of paint, which was a satin black. Well let me tell you, that was no satin it was glossy as shit. I just spent the last hour trying to get as much paint off as possible. Luckily I got probably 95 percent off. Tomorrow I will have to start the primer and paint all over. Wish me luck.

I haven't ruled it out yet. I am trying to do it with paint first. If this attempt fails, plati dip it is. Used the hell out of that shit with my Jetta.
I think one of my problems is I started trying to get it done too quick. I slowed down and things are starting to look better.

A few coats of Matte Black down. Have to wait for it to completely dry so I can wet sand it and hopefully get most of the imperfections out. I will most likely have to add some more coats. The matte is still too shiny, but hopefully when it dries out completely and I sand it smooth, it will dull it out some.

looks good to me. i see a couple of imperfections, but unless you wrap it somehow it's never going to be 100% perfect with any kind of spray on coating. i think what you have on there looks better than plasti-dip. id leave it how it is.
