    Yea...I am going satin(yea...satin....lol) black with the whole car...I need to get the leftover adhesive off of the top(from where the vinyl was till just last week) I have been kinda putting that off because i know it is going to be messy...Also, like I had said before...I live in an apartment complex, so dont have any place to work...That has been my BIGGEST problem...Everything I have done so far I have done it in my covered parking space(lol) while all the others are at work during the day...One day when I first got my Mav home I was spray painting the hood(it was really faded) and my neighbors pulled up...It was pretty funny seeing their faces...But the just smiled and said "Hello" At least they are okay with it!:)

    Have your body man remove the adhesive...far easier for him to do it than
    you. Just a thought.
