Loving it too. Would u say the color u used was flat black? In the pics it looks a lot more greyish. It may be just because of the light tho

I don't really see how this stuff could be much worse than vinyl stripping.

How did you peel off the tape without messing up the edges of the stripes?

+1. Other pics I've seen don't look nearly this smooth.

Hey guys,

Sorry it took so long to respond.

For the ones who were wondering how I got it to look so even, with the pastidip since when it dries it will also dry together with the overspray, so when you peel off the masking tape it will also pull off the plastidip where you wanted the stripe. So you either have to have a friend helping you take the tape off as you spray (quickly) or use the dull side of an x-acto blade and follow the tape line (which is very sketchy trust me thats what I did thank god I didnt get any scratches on my car)
