I just used a hair dryer and my thumb for 3hrs and 1hr of t-cut lol. Then my spray painter guy said he can whip it all off in fifteen mins lol. I did message you before I tried it but you weren't on lol.

 

[phillpotts92]

I just give it to my spray painter and he does it lol. You'll see how good they look next Tuesday lol.

 

[Jordanwaterhous]

You turnip! Haha bet your thumbs are killing now! Might give up on mine and just buy some new ones and take them to be done professionally along with getting body work touched up! Parking dings are annoying me big style!

 

[phillpotts92]

Right cars gone in for the colour coding tonight so will be ready by Tuesday hopefully!

 

[Blanco92]

Colour coding makes a big difference, makes it look a lot cleaner. Pics when it's done!
