Surprisingly it didn't take too long. I did them all at the same time. I'd say in all I spent 3 hours of my morning on this project. The tint spray dried quickly but I did a lot of layers

Hi there,

Lovely looking car u got there, the tints look awesome!

I am interested in doing this too, and AlpineWhiteGirl has helpmed me out with the instructions, but i want to know if this process is Reversible? In case i dont like it later or something, i need to be able to wash it off.

Thanks.

looks great!

questions:
1) what kind of clear coat did you use? And how long in between clear coats?
2) how did you go about painting your exhaust tips? Did you just mask off the rear bumper top and bottom? Any overspray?
