Yeah , i have a few runs here and there and the lip isn't perfect but i like how they came out . When you get up close you can tell they aren't done professionally but thats ok with me . Next is the grill when i get time .

I decided to start painting my door trim tonight but I could only do one side before it got to dark. Taping the windows and doors takes time and lots of it... I'll have better pics when I'm all done.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. The taping is what's holding me back from doing the trim.

great work on the tape job looks like it turned out really good...i was planning on doing the same as soon as the weather gets good....i was wondering how white would look on stock rims if the color difference is to great or not on artic white...also how does this stuff hold up against a high pressure car wash will the stuff just peel/rub off ?

I washed the car at home yesterday with my pressure attachment thing ... the Jet from tv lol , anyway i didn't get too close up to the rims with it but all was fine . I think a real strong pressure hose will take it right off but the the ones at a car wash should be ok .

So I wanna see what the car would look like if I did the door handle chrome trim...is there any way to remove it or would I have to paint directly on? Also, would this stuff hold up to people gripping the handle and what not?

The trim above the door that is actually attached to the car is pretty easy. It just takes time to get the taping right. Make sure you account for over spray and then some. Get plastic sheets, newspaper is not gonna cut it alone.
The windows trim is what got me. The bottom of the trim was fine, but the top where it meets the window seals and glass needs to be taken off and re-taped after every coat. I made the mistake of leaving it on, and when I took off the tape, the plasti dip came with it....
