Thanks, I just took a look at yours - very nice car. The color certainly separates all of it. It makes quite a difference. It's a completely new car to me!

That's exactly what I did. I used duct tape to line off the body line and masked the rest of the car using paper. I was quite nervous but it was actually really easy and it turned out great. So far no issues.

Outside. Everything that a professional painter probably would've done I did the opposite :p

Update - don't be the dumba** that I was and completely wing the painting process. I should've some more effort into this....today I noticed the paint was already starting to chip and water marks were on it. I washed the car and the paint didn't come off but the water marks stayed on. Dumb idea. Maybe should've put a ton of clear coats on top of it.

Duct tape? Didn't that leave a sticky residue behind when taken off?
