Thinking about following that hood design line down and blacking out the center portion of the trim piece. There is already a design feature delineating where the black would be applied.

The photo I shopped isn't directly from the center so it's tougher to see the effect, but that's all I have.

Comments, tips...?

Will do. I have a can and I need to redo the trunk lock again anyway. I tried to pull that trim piece off last time, but couldn't get the clips to release. I think I'll just mask it and roll. Not sure how to generate a separation from the mask to trim piece though, usually the plastidip naturally separates by a discontinuity.

you should consider vinyl wrapping than plastidip. plastidip attracts LOTS of dirt/dust.
