SOME B4 SHOTS




CAR MASKED UP



WITH A FEW COATS ON




CLEANUP AND EXCESS REMOVAL



FINAL OUTCOME




My final thoughts about the project is that I am about 84 percent happy with the outcome. the hardest part was properly masking the inside part of the window so when i remove the tape some of the paint came up off the trim along with it. Its kinda a precise way you have to mask the car. up close you can definitely see some imperfections I can live with them for now but maybe one day i may get tired of how it looks and try it over again. the issue i noticed is how you pull off the tape matters the most in how you get a nice clean cut.
