    just tape it off and be sure to use a razor or sharp knife to help cut the plastidip that sticks to the tape...

    FINISHED!!!


    First i have to say this stuff is really amazing. If it holds up as much or better than paint i have to say i probably wont use paint for anything like this ever again.
    1) I didn't have to remove anything and sand/primer.
    2) It peeled off of the badges so easy (as long as i took my time). Where the letters stick up a little higher, it would brake off perfect.

    Notes: When peeling it off be sure to take your time! The more time you take, the better you are going to be pleased with it after it is all said and done!
    *Also, after putting 4-5 light coats on it, make sure you put it equally all over where you don't have tapped off! This makes it easier to peel and easier to peel around the letters also!

    YESIRRR!!

    Still have to peel between the fine areas but more than pleased!!

    Hope i helped with the write up and if you all need it in order for a sticky or anything let me know and i'll shoot one up! Thanks and goodluck!

    Cool. I like the look but wasn't sure on how to make the lines not peel. I'll have to try it when the weather is better and a little warmer.

    Got mine at lowes. Bought the last 2 cans ($8-9). Napa also had 1 can and they wanted $12 for it.... Worth it in my opinion because it eliminates TONS of work!
