    Looks good, How long did it take you to tape it all off? Did you put tape in the O and A or just peel the plati dip off there?

    ^^What this poster said, don't waste your time like I did going to any auto parts stores. Home Depot has it in the spray paint section of the paint department. Sleeved my foglights came out great.

    looks sweet man. you said it was harder to get out when it was cooler, it's somewhere between 30-50 here on any given day do you think i could do that without any problems if it's that cold?

    Yeah it wasn't that cold here. Maybe I just didn't let it dry long enough. If its cold just give it plenty of time to dry. I waited one hour and like I said it was kinda a pain in the ass. So I'd wait longer if its colder

    how long would this last on the back bumper? would it just scrape right off if you rubbed up against it?

    oh and what about rims?

    Ti the op: whem you say that you removed the middle of the letters with a toothpick, that means the paint is peelable only after it dries but before it hardens? I mean, if it holds, I guess I won't be able to use the toothpick after a week the paint was sprayed?

    And for the others that used it on the front of their trucks, does it hold well?

    Is that paint removeable?

    Why use that kind of "paint" instead of normal "flat black" paint in spraycan?????

    I wonder the same thing about the front valance since it's so easy to peel off of the paint itself?

    Hey guys, this stuff isn't paint, it's spray on rubber.

    I found it at Home Hardware, they had to order it in for me.

    I did my rear bumper a month ago and it still looks great. We'll see how it holds up long term....

    I have had it for a week now, I think the only way it will come off is when I take it though a hand car wash. I am not gonna mess with it to see how long it will last on there. I am sure if you did the bumper and just sprayed it when cleaning it you should be okay...taking a sponge to it might take it off.
