Goood yea the full spectrum sprays wayyyy better than the blaze. Its a bit thicker if you will. It will cover alot better.

Yeah the Blaze colors look the best but fade fast, spray like crap and clog the nozzle bad. I found out about putting the can in a bucket of hot water when using the Blaze because it helps thin it out and make more uniform for spraying. I also found out that if you get a rough dip you can smooth it out with Naphtha and spray right over it because the Blaze orange was so rough I almost peeled down to nothing to fix it.

The new pearls and flakes have got me thinking HARD about this. I don't think I'd do anything crazy, but yeah.

Also I'd go with the splatter look on the wheels.. man, you've got three colors and 4 wheels. I'd be paralyzed with OCD and unable to decide what wheel to do what. I think the bars on the roof would look BA

Yeah they are coming out with new items every month now it's great!! :banana: You should give it a try there's nothing to lose but some time and a few bucks.

I was thinking the splatter too because I have the green base and wouldn't need to tape much off just start spraying randomly. THANK GOD I decided to keep my driver side black and just two face my wheels so I am only doing 2 wheels on the passenger side. I am a tad OCD also so I totally know the feeling but I battle through it.

I think to get the splatter pattern I will cut a 16" circle out of cardboard poke random sized holes in it with objects and hold it up to the wheel face spray a few with one color rotate the circle spray another color and so on until I get a suitable pattern.

Just tape off three bars on roof or hood and spray that really quick too to tie it in with the wheels and enjoy the show opcorn:

Sounds good! I'm pretty excited to see it.

I've used the product before on my Vibe, the cladding was gray and it was a hot red car. I dipped ALL the cladding black. It held up well through two winters.

Got the car all ready for 9mile Festival.

Yeah because I deleted the ones I uploaded from Tapatalk previously, these pics are uploaded from Photobucket that's why they are clear.

My Fiance decided she wanted to video my wheels while driving to show me how it looked. The best part is the end and her cussing me out because I didn't know she was filming lol. Just something about that Trini accent that makes even curse words sound so cute.

So I decided to remove the Rasta stripes I had on my hood last night and to my surprise when I removed them this is what I found.

I have done some research online and found out that this is common on freshly painted vehicles (mainly FRS/BRZ) and that it will fade away itself in a week or two from the sun alone. This was great to hear as I was freaking out when I saw it last night.

So to anyone with a light colored vehicle, if you peel your dip and find your paint stained do not flip out, do not go to town using chemicals to remove it, do not start wet sanding or buffing the hell out of it just wait it out a week or two and it will be fine on its own.

Well wait for an update to see if it does go away I guess, fingered crossed right.

Yeah fingers crossed but worse comes to worse it gives me a reason to have my hood repainted and fix all my chips lol Gotta find a silver lining somehow....
