How did you do this? And what did it cost?


Cost wise, no clue. All together we used a little over 3 gallons. However a lot of tint bottles & Spray cans went into it to make the color. Gallons are about 60 bucks to buy for a non custom color.

Why not just wrap it?


Wrap is much more expensive, this is cheap haha.

Pretty much. It is a little more forgiving than paint so it's a tad bit easier. It's also nice not having to tape off everything. As long as you get a thick enough coat on the windows and such you can just rip it right off. Otherwise rubbing it off isn't a problem either. If you ever do have any questions you could always ask, or ofc there's videos all over the place.

What color car are you starting with? If you're starting with a light car to begin with, you can use a little less. However you still want to coat the entire car in a nice thick coat so it holds up. I wouldn't recommend less than 3 gallons on your particular car. We definitely could have put on more than 3 gallons on this job.

For the cost, it's an awesome product. The roof and the black lip turned out real nice.
