Will do. My next step this weekend will be to wetsand it, spray clearcoat, wetsand again, polish, and wax.

Thank you
1. Couldn't really tell, the hardest part was matching both sides. Started with 3 at first, but then either one side was off a little, so added more coats back and forth. Probably ended up with 6-7 very light coats.

2. Tinted tails usually looks good on any color I think, but you've got to make them look like it was professionally done. When you get that shine to them with all the proper procedures, it will look sweet especially on gray lustre. Hence, I still have to complete mine this weekend.

Keep in mind that I'm going for a sleek mono-tone look. I don't want any part of the car to standout more than another, but I still have a ways to go to get to that point. ie....kit, cf hood, then I think I'm done. Still debating the rear window spoiler, but will see what it looks like with the kit first.
