I want to do my under grill piece like yours...question: How far did you spray under the car? And, did you have any chips that had been touched up that created a small bump(s)? Wondering if the spray will even that out or leave a bump showing through?

The more coats you put on, the less noticeable it will be. A couple light coats will just change the color, but it does slowly fill it in/cover up blemishes.

I went all the way under the nose. The bumps are me learning how quickly you must take off your tape before it dries and learning how to touch up the goofs. I need to redo the ends again, but for the most part it covers most of your chips if you take your time and lay good coats. I put down 4.

I'm interested in possibly dipping my camaro side emblems. Besides taping off the surrounding area, do you mask off the little areas in the a, r and o letters? Or do you just spray the whole emblem and peel off the excess dip in those areas?

Spray the whole thing then use a toothpick to grab out the inside of the letters.

Cool, thanks for the info!

Mask tightly around the entire "CAMARO" and mask off the rest of the area. When dry, pull off the tape and about 20 minutes after that use a toothpick and tweezers to pull out the inside. It's real easy.

Okay gotcha. Pulling off the inside won't pull the dip off the emblem?
