Very nice, I like it! I'd imagine that would definitely help a good amount at keeping the car cooler.

The same materials applied professionally would be $3K. You could Plastdip a whole car for ~$160-300.

I'm not sure which one has more specialized skills required. Except when it comes to the rear-view mirrors. Spray, hands down.

yep. spray is good. used several times after i was told where to get it from this forum. like the way it lays down and the UV clear gives it a semigloss that looks good. moons are covered in it.
i will be out of town for a few weeks so there won't be much activity from me, esp after i hit the border. Sprint wants to charge a lot when i get out of area. oh well, i will be enjoying myself at Brightsands in the SK province. been there a few times and really love it. reminds me of days gone by.
