It was a fine female with blonde hair. Is that anyone here?
I work in Concord, have also seen this car once on poplar tent road between 85 and george liles just before dark about two weeks ago

Me and a friend of mine were talking about going to this. He has a 2013 Mustang GT 5.0

Correction: we are in Raleigh and talking about going to that cars and coffee in Cary

Guy's Just FYI Scott Clark as 2 on the floor right now. One Red MT and White Pearl AT. I had a very good experience contrary to another person at that same dealership I guess it's all in the salesman you get. I dealt with Bobby Jessup and Jim Dalo Sales Manager Got a great deal.

Looks cool. Is plastidip easier to apply/remove than 3M film? Certainly less expensive.

It's just like spray painting anything else. It's very easy to use. And if you mess up, just let it dry/peel/redo. And at $6/can its not a big investment. This is less than 2 cans between the two jobs.

I actually did this to preview what black 3m film will look like on my roof. I think the 3m film will look cleaner and is worth the investment. But it was a big step I didn't want to take without knowing what the color change would look like.

They have 6 plastic poppers holding them in. I started the first three by prying on them from under the hood inside the fender with a flat blade screwdriver. Then I pulled it off by hand once those three were started. Just be careful as there is adhesive on the end closest to the door. I have some automotive molding adhesive so I just cleaned the old off and reapplied my own after paint.

Looks good. Do have any more pictures? Also do you have any tips for working with plastidip? I am planning on plastidip for my rims and also for the inside trim pieces that are silver.

Yeah I have some others ill add. Yeah I have some tips.

- multiple light coats, too heavy and it'll sag
- don't worry about how it looks wet
- pay attention to the spray nozzle, it likes to clot while spraying and then drip down on the piece you're painting
- if you tape off parts, pull the tape while its still wet.

I think the interior parts will look really good done.
