Hey guys,
First off ... This stuff is awesome. If you are going for a matte black or white there isn't anything much easier than going to Home Depot and grabbing some painters tape and a couple cans of this stuff. Ok on with the write up:
First I started by masking off the vents and prepping the surface with a nice clean:
Then I got to painting. After the first coat I can give this piece of advice, be fairly sparing with it, it will run or sag, I was able to clean that up with my second coat, but it would have been smart to relax a bit on the first
This is after the first coat dried, I really liked the overall color and look, but like I said there were some sags and runs that needed cleaning up:
So on with the second. Here is where it got messed up beyond repair. I left the can in the gym where it was pretty cold. Unfortunately, the product tends to clump when cold. It left the second coat looking pitted when dried. I think the fix is to keep the can in warm water and shake very very often:
I applied one last coat to see if I could cover up the texture that had set it, unfortunately it didn't. But looking in the bright side, this allowed me the opportunity to peel it off and start again which shows the forum how easily reversible this is.
Here is a distance shot to give you an idea of what it will look like when my perfectionist mind will let it be:
Since I knew it was all coming off I didn't bother with a razor around the edges, hence the tattered edges, but you get the idea.
comments/critiques are welcome!!!
Here is half way through the peel off process:
All in all it is a great low cost alternative and best of all, if you hate it, peel it off!!
