i used Performix PLASTI DIP. my friend bought it from Lowe's, he had some left over so i used it. once it stops raining i can fix the drivers side. when i was laying the tape i messed up, so now i have to re-due it.

over all i would say it was a quick and easy job. i do plan on doing the emblems, but it has been raining.

when you say you tried using a brush, what did you mean, for cleaning the overspray off? i used a clean wet rag and sponge to get the extra off.

for the trim, just take your time when removing the overspray. but even if you take your time it could still mess up. it happened to me on my driverside. i havent fixed it yet cause it has been raining off and on for the past 4 days. but once i get it it repaired and all pretty like, i will post finished pics
