Bumpsies… Anyone ever end up doing their whole car? Every day I get closer to pulling the trigger on a kit to do at least one of my cars but really want to see a finished product first. ---

I did mine in August beause this car was 400 shades of red (Peeling clear coat - Chronic Red VW problem). Its held up well, but will need to be cleaned thoroughly with some Goo Gone once I decide to get it cleaned up for summer. the white “yellowed” a bit over winter, but it cleans up with goo gone pretty easily.

Its held up well, but will need to be cleaned thoroughly with some Goo Gone once I decide to get it cleaned up for summer. the white “yellowed” a bit over winter, but it cleans up with goo gone pretty easily. Wouldn’t Goo Gone completely remove it? I guess depending on the number of coats laid down and the amount of Goo Gone you use, the results would vary. I just know from what I’ve read people have used it to assist in removal of the dip. ---

No, goo gone doesn’t eat away at it. Starter fluid will liquify if slightly, allowing for patching, and fixing any peels etc. ---

It does have a sticky finish from what I’ve read, which makes it easy to collect a bug graveyard up front on highway drives. ---

Every time I see it in pictures it looks so nice to me, but im just wondeing if its tacky (no pun intended) in person. Sure, its a cheap fix. This car is more of a fun realiable daily beater, so I don’t really care. If your car had nice paint, I probably wouldn’t. That’s just dumb. ---

Ehhhh the paint has definitely seen better days although everyone tells me its not that bad. Still there are times where I dont even feel like driving it because of how bummed I get about it. Im like an anorexic girl leaving looking at the hoho in the pantry every day but not touching it. Was undecided between a white/black or going crazy with one of those highlighter colors they have lol. Depends on if I want to drive it to work/clients lol. ---

Depends on if I want to drive it to work/clients lol. You’re ridiculous. My vote goes to a matte olive like the old Halo shells that were so rare. But if you’re driving some gay 400awhp car to work/clients I think they know what to expect based on the general layout/appearance/sound of the car. ---
