Thanks, its an all day project. The roof was not fun, because of the grooves you need to go over. The back takes some time too because there are so many lines to go over. There are just so many curves in this car. Just be patient and it will turn out fine. You could go with the flat black also, it just depends how flashy you want to make it. Yes its vinyl, would rather do that, because then I can always change it up, or if I didn't like it, not a huge waste of money. In all very time consuming.

Looks good!

I THINK, way back, a member did a "how to", if anyone is interested.

@badassbowtie:

Blue demands silver or white stripes. That blue is pretty dark though (I mistook it for black... in sunlight), so maybe a darker than usual gray, like the charcoal paint, would look best.
