I have been on a plastidip binge as of late. I helped my girlfriends younger brother do the wheels, grill, and chrome trim on his a Acura cl. I did my roof recently knowing I would peel it off right away ( we had only a little left over and I wanted to see how it would look). It looked good, but the next time I do it I'm going to use the glossifier.
I am amazed at how easy this stuff is to work with. Just be sure to clean the surface well and try to avoid a windy area that may kick up dust and debris.

I'm thinking about using the clear on my chrome trim to make it matte. I bought a can of black today to do the trunk lock and the grey front bumper trim. Thinking kidneys and door trim matte chrome (brushed aluminum is the finish they refer to it as).. Think that would look aight?

Get behind me. My order was placed literally a month ago. Depending on how this works out, maybe I'll work with the manufacturer to be a bulk reseller here on the West Coast.
