I like that. It looks nice and glossy, did you wet sand and use gloss, or just wet sand? I tried the plasti-dip on my back emblem (w/reverse cam) and it looked like a big black button on my tail gate.

I may give the night shades a try if you don't mind providing some details on how you did it.

I just googled that image, but I have used it in the past. Treat it just like any other paint, if you want it super glossy, you will have to wet sand, or buff it.

Didn't do it like I thought I was gonna do. Just taped it all off and used a razor blade to cut out the ford tape. Then painted it and clear coated it. Took a while but I'm done
