Nope ordered through the canadian side of company, was 460 shipped so about 100 more than it would have cost to pick it up from the states, but thats worth the time saved driving and gas money

If you knew what you knew now (that your order would have been screwed up so many times) before you ordered you probably would have done the same and gone without the frustration i bet hey Pat?

Yep. Also has alot to due with textured finished. I dont think mine was quite the right ratio :(

my experience doin the urs4 1-1 dip and xylene earlex 3500 and cheese cloth to filter the paint when pouring it into the pot.

Usually yes, however since they screwed up SO MANY TIMES (including on the refund), I actually came out with 200$ more than I went in with. so in that case, no hahaha

Re: plasti dipping colors

i put some pics on instagram/facebook

it looks great tho

i only had 3 small peeling issues

on the rear window trim like you mentioned.. the passenger side was fine.. driver side was dipped together so i had to cut it but it left a small silver line :/ so i had a can of black and just covered it and rattle sprayed it.. looks OK but coulda been a better job.. meh

then on the rear spoiler same issue.. i had to cut along the window and a small spot on the spoiler peeled (size of a dime) so i had to spray it too

then i was peeling the rear audi emblem and **** thats tough! it peeled inside one of the rings a small bit but i pushed it back down.. i may have to respray that part of i was maybe going to peel the inside of all the rings back to silver but it may look stupid

thx again jamie!
