good job masking it. i had a bitch of a time masking it with masking tape. and was hard to see where to mask too. i see u used electrical tape. never thought of that. doesnt look all that great on a overal stock car but will look much better if u get a lip or something

u should remove those lil grills in the bottom spray them with 4-5 layers of gloss black they look too dull behind the new plastidipped areas.

plastidip is a rubber coating that looks like paint, but it's not. its actually able to be peeled off just like rubber

the plastidip is actually black. he probably put the clear coat on TOP of the plastidip to give it a slightly glossy finish as opposed to the flat black finish that plastidip provides.



on a side note, i plastidipped my ***** to give it that african look
