Got this underway as we speak. FYI Neither ace hardware, Walmart or the local auto parts stores had plastidip in stock.
Home Depot or Lowes is the best bet.

Easy to peel just mask up your ride real good. Take your time light coats. I noticed on mine that my tops and bottoms of my badges are not as dark as the face so I'll be doing another coat this weekend. So advice angle around the badge when doing it. Take your time inbetween coats play chess or something
