Clear coat doesn't work. They just came out with one called glossifier. No one has tried it yet

So I find that the Full evo mod (top and bottom grille) looks good from a distance, but how does it look up close? I'm trying to decide if I want to paint the crossbar and lip as well as the grilles, or just paint the grilles and leave the crossbar and lip. I've never seen it done in person.

Yes yes, I know that looks good, but upclose- like when you are standing in front of the car: Is it as clean as it looks from a distance?

Right on, I'm either gonna go for that or just do the top and bottom grilles, like take em off and spray em. Leave the crossbar SRTC and maybe gloss black the bowtie. Ahhh, decisions, decisions.

Any tips on getting the ends of the crossbar and the ends of the lip in a straight line? Is it all in where you put the tape? And do you need to cover the radiator with anything?

i tried to do my hood, could get anywhere near even coat on the whole thing used 3 freeking cans, ended up looking like crap! and super rough to the touch, got it some what decent and then ruined it by pulling off the tape, didnt want to run a razor down the hood.

I usually paint 2 quick coats and take the tape off before it settles with no problems, but the hood took forever and i tried multiple coats to make it look right. ended up tearing it off.

how did you get yours even?
