    no need to take off, just leave a little overlap before your taped off lines, so when you peel it leaves a clean break. did mine that way and it worked like a charm. youtube some videos for a quick reference

    I love the stuff. Not only does it protect, but it looks badass too. I've only done my front emblem and my eyelids. Although I only put the eyelids on there because I hate those big chrome headlights. They'll be dispatched once I work up the nerve to do the BHLM.

    Looks great! I tried to color-match the grille on my white 98 this past weekend.. Didnt go so well. Turns out after 16+ years, my truck doesn't look bright white anymore. Haha.

    What am I doing wrong here? I cleaned the decals, and dried thoroughly yet I still get a very textured/bubbly outcome.

    I think you may be spraying from too far away... And maybe not thick enough of a coat to even out a wet layer?
    Did you visit dipyourcar on Youtube university? Good stuff!

    Yes
    I just spray down coat after coat until is nice and wet. Done. I don't wait between layers anymore comes out nice. Works good if you want to mask off parts too.
