Graphics & Pastidip

Got tired of looking like every other Arctic Silver 986 so I gave a vinyl Boxster decal and Plastidip a try. My advice is, do NOT use the Glossifier. My finish was perfect flat black with crisp edges and no runs and then came the Glossifer which cheapens the look in my opinion - and added a couple of small runs. The only good news is it is easy enough to remove so I'll probably run this for a couple of months and then re-do the stripes if I like them. Otherwise, I'll take them off. Decal was $80 and Plastdip was $15 a can and it only took 1/2 can per side, so 1 black and 1 glossifier. But again, I would skip the gloss next time. Was it worth the $100? I think so - it was a good learning experience and the car now looks different than the rest.
