If you would do that to a friend, I'd hate to see what you'd do to anyone else.

I dont do that at all.. in fact I usually lose money by working on peoples cars.. the 200 Is not a payment. I told him I would give him back the stock grill and 100 bucks when his lease is up and he returns the grill to me in the same condition.. When I do accent lights and radar detector hardwire and stuff for friends, they pay for parts and I dont charge for installation...

Thumbs up

Just following up to see how your window trim is holding up??

I love the Plastidip. I did my front grill and rear trunk finisher and it seems to be holding up very well.

Painting the rear difuser is deff the way to go.

I just finished installing BattButts vinyl overlay.....and what a PITA!!!!

Fittment sucked and it was a biotch to get it lined up and smooth. Never again.

I'll prob take it off and paint it in spring.

I plastidiped my emblems a while ago and it turned out great. i really want to do the same to my window trim. My only concern is taping the rubber that its on the trim. When you removed the tape how did the separation go from the trim to the tape on the rubber i would think it would just peel of the paint on the trim with it. If you didnt use a knife

You dont need to use anything just take off the masking paint while the paint (plastidip) is still wet.....I just did mine today it looks awesome
