    I didnt care for the red at all. The white looks better.

    On "luxury" cars, i tend to like the wheels to be upgraded to better oem wheels (m3,m5,m6 ect). But i also know that often-times, those wheels can be mroe expensive than aftermarket wheels.

    One of the few times I've ever thought white wheels to be an upgrade. Good job on the wheels.

    after peeling this stuff off misc surfaces a few times, i am officially done with it on anything but emblems. It's not that it's hard to peel off, but once you get past the "oh thats neat" phase, it becomes quite the chore. I need them to create something even more lazy for me. I need like a paint can roomba that i can just sit on the driveway and it will roll around and finish my paint projects for me.

    Also, i remember this being mentioned before but i cant remember if the answer was yes or no......

    If you spray on plastidip and then paint over it with real paint..... you will have a hard ass time removing it. i did some small pieces like that and literally had to sit there with a pick and scrape it off.

    Thanks everyone, me and the owner had been going on the color for a while, but we finally decided to spray it Satin White. Owner Loves it, I think it looks better than before. After rocking these Satin White for few month. He will be coming back to add Silver Metallic to White, and go Full Gloss.

    Car is at Gwinnett Meet every Thursday. Feel free to come up, check out the paint, and the feel of it.

    .
    Correct on this, lots of people think that regular paint will just come off with Plasti Dip...WRONG. Instead of coming off in big chunks or as 1 whole, it comes of in small pieces. Will not recommend that.
