    Haha you mean on the sides of the valance, the part that stays white right? For that, I used small pieces of painters tape to make the curve and a big piece over them. So ya I taped all the way up to the body line

    There are quite a few people that have done their roof. Don't know anyone specific but I've seen pictures of those who did theirs. Looks good on the white.

    About to dip my emblems and maybe my front bumper. Haven't decided yet. I bought one of those actuators that dipyourcar.com sells for a heavier spray and I might wait until it comes in to do my bumper.

    I got it for my back chrome bumper...

    Yeah Emblems are going super easy right now. I'm through 3 coats so far (doing every 30 min). Seems like there might be a bubble on one of the back emblems. I'm going to see if I need to strip it and redo later. Hope not.

    Looks good. Don't know if you are aware but you can dip your tailpipe as well. Did mine some time ago and looks very good. Learned this from watching a youtube vid. good luck

    Door emblems look great, tailgate emblems look like shit.

    Redoing them tomorrow or next weekend. Best way to get the stuff off?

    Emblems and tailpipe dipped.

    [​IMG]

    My tailpipe doesn't have a chrome tip and was starting to show signs of corrosion. I saw a youtube vid on dipping the tailpipe so I gave it a try. I was skeptical at first but it's been about six months and it looks like the day I applied it.
