Thanks, I like it alot. The tailgate panel gave us a little trouble but we were able to fix it. The grill turned out really good, its like factory.

Im also very happy with how the tails came out. I only put 3 light coats cuz I didnt want it to look cheap or too dark. You can still see the outlines of the tails with a slight tint so it doesnt have the shiny plastic look.

The problem with the tailgate is if you're doing a panel like that. The top and bottom lines don't have any body line breaks like door jams, tailgate jams, etc... for the dip to have a clean natural break.

So the trick is you want to peel off the tape right after you spray the last coat while the dip is still wet because for some reason when you respray a surface it re liquifies things. What might of happened is my buddy didn't put enough of a bead/dip on the tape line. So when we torn it off it did have clean lines. So we had to wait till the next day to clean up the lines. If you run into that issue I have a write up on how to fix it instead of tearing it all off and re spray.

Hope that made sense.
