Looks good I've often thought about doing the wood in my 87 Cutlass in a brushed aluminum or something like that

Good thing about it is you can peel it right off if you want to..its also good for 5-8 years if cared for properly

mine worked well for me but ive been painting plastic for years. i can almost say I've mastered it..ive used spray paint for years to. i can almost lay it like it came out of an spray gun. now the vinyl (shakes head) it was very very tedious work but i got it done and i also purchased a heat gun instead of my wives blow dryer lol

Mine was going pretty well until a bug flew into the last clear coat, tried sanding the bottom right corner down and redoing it but still showed through so last night tried again bringing that hole section back off. Got it back down and then once I got to the clear started to look contaminated so will see how it dried but have a feeling it will need sanded all back off again and then redone before going to the second color
