You think one coat would be okay?

One coat would be ok if u can paint it evenly. Two coats kinda hides the mistakes.

Those do look good. Nice work all of you. How difficult is it to remove if you had to? Is it just like regular paint in that sense?

Im considering this or at least first trying the new plasti-dip smoke color with the glossifier over it. I have way to many cops around to get away with anything. Removal ability is key. I live down the road from one police station and drive by the main city headquarters on the way to work.

Maybe try the plastidip. Seems like the nite shade might be hard to remove

There are countless videos on YouTube people taking niteshade right off with carb cleaner. I would think it would take some shine off though Nix

well in my experience, cops only bother you if it doesn't look stock or its your front headlights blacked out...... been through a few road blocks and never got bothered.. but did have to put my front plate back on.....

Is that the hybrid spoiler you have on your car? Looks similar to mine.

@Ron Flood
Thanks for DIY. I'll be doing this soon. Plan on doing them very lightly (2 light coats).
