Nice bowtie. I went just CFM with a chrome outline from River City Creations. Also, for anyone else that still has vinyl stripes, I use Adam's Super VRT Tire and Trim dressing, works great.

I also use Brilliant Glaze before Super VRT....helps knock down any uneven splotchy type areas.

Yep! But definately NOT with a Porter Cable. I use a hex pad.
Look here for details: http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/134...vinyl-stripes/ I've also used the fine machine polish (again by hand) to remove scratches.

Anyone had a bodyshop repaint a panel yet? I was hit rear bumper and the bodyshop cannot match it with the quarter panel. They've tried twice now. I am thinking about getting a second opinion from another shop at this point.

I have not. Matching metalics is very difficult. I am surprised they have not tried to do a blend onto the panel. You are lucky they did not based on the piss poor job they did on the bumper. No depth at all.

I had my front bumper redone, it's close by no exact match. You really have to look at it to see it tho.

That looks terrible... They need to do a better job. ITS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COLOR! and there is hardly any metallic in the bumper compared to the Cyber Gray!
