Message	It looks good from afar but far from good. I sprayed mine with the dipyourcar kit. it works very well and doesn't take long. Make sure to tape everything you don't want spray to get on, it will get everywhere! The first week it looked great but after that it started to peel in spots. I tried to touch it up with rattle can, the color matched but the texture didn't match so you could see the touch up spots. After a couple car washes and a bunch of driving it didn't look so great anymore. I just recently started to peel it off. Its not fun. Make sure you get even coats and do a lot of them. I did around 7 coats and its not enough. I would recommend using 4 gallons, it wont hurt to use more and it will come off better when you want it to.
