PAINTING DIY... for a small area of the car... is there a removable paint?

Sorry for what is a pretty ignorant question!

Hehe, my friend actually vinyled his diffuser area (above the exhaust) to give it that nismo rear diffuser look--looks good, but the cuts aren't perfect...

The vinyl guys at Modern Image said that paint would be the best path to take. I was curious if there's a paint that I can use (I know I want black) but rather the type of paint that will work well going over the surface of this diffuser area... also is it possible that it is removable by a certain substance so that if I don't like the result I can go back to normal?

Thanks

As you my knowledge theres no product (safe for your car) that does this. What you could do is make a sticker or mask that you can remove, and try to paint that.

Hey Wrah,

Yeahh, making a sticker was the whole VINYL deal, but the cut is very difficult. A profession wasn't able to get precision around the curved edges of the diffuser =) I can't even imagine how well I'd do solo on this!
