Good luck, just make sure to put enough coats so that its thick enough to peel easily. I'm still debating on using it as a primer to paint my wheel (I'm broke and can't afford them fancy wheels!)

I hope you covered the car! I can see a small glimpse of your fender that looks to be uncovered. Over spray FTL

When I did mine I took the wheels off and spent about 6 hours spraying and waiting for it to dry over 2 days. I think you ensure better coverage that way and avoid the overspray. But I also have other cars so I can afford to leave the BRZ on stands in the garage for a day or two.

I hear ya, though an 86 is a pretty sweet 'beater'.

Just make sure you hit all kinds of angles then, to make sure you are getting coverage inside the spokes. Might help if you can roll the wheels a half turn or so between coats.

Yeah, spoke to a couple of places close to my work (I unfortunately can't just drop off the car) and both were iffy about getting the area around the 3rd brake light covered. Don't really like their suggestion of leaving a cut out around that area.
