    Hey guys,

    I'm thinking about painting my B-pillars on my 2008 DC black (kind of like the 3rd gen that's in the banner up top). I know that a number of people have done this, and for those who did, where did you stop painting? I'm having a hard time judging where the lines should be, and I don't want to mess it up.

    seems like a lot of masking and such for a small difference. Looks good though.

    Wrap is awesome, used it on tons of stuff on my Tacoma. Nice middle ground between plastic ip and real paint.

    Vinyling something that size is also relatively easy to do yourself.
