Been slow here. Haven’t done much to the cr-z lately. Bought some laminx and did the fogs. Help protect the glass lenses and did gunmoke on the tail lights to make it more subtle

Small update here. Wanted to try a new color and a local shop does plasti dip full cars quite cheap. Know what you’re thinking, plasti dip. But they get full buckets and use an actual sprayer. But don’t take my word for it. Here’s pics

That came out nice…What do they say about the peel when/if the time comes?

Some say the longer it is on there, the harder it is to get off

These guys do several coats. In some cases 10+ which I guess helps it peel off easier down the road

Hell mines a year and I had it put on with no hesitation. Like the black n all but can never get it to look great for that long. The up keep sucked. This way I can wipe it down when it gets dirty and don’t have to worry about drying scratches

Eh factory paint on these is known to be super soft. Think about drying it. Paint gets swirls. Think about driving it rocks chip all your bumper paint off

Looking at it from a practicality standpoint, I can understand those points and they make sense.  
I’m just over the whole flat black on a newer car look.
