Coupe plastidip results

Here are couple pics of the results from my first plastidip adventure. Mainly posting for handle pictures. Never saw those unclose before.

lessons learned:

-Lots of light coats
-Over spray near the edges
-Watch for pulling edges when taking tape off.
-Plastic trim comes off cars much easier when new vs years of hot/cold/sun cycles.
-Plastidip comes off rubber areas of trim really easy. Had to do some clean up.

I pulled the trim off, but painted handles on the car. All in all looks great from a distance, by still some chrome peeking through when up close. I give it a 7.2/10 in satisfaction.
