I know exactly what you mean by the fuzzy "suede" feeling and look, but I can assure you plastidip is NOT supposed to look like that. it should feel like dragging your hand across a smooth flat piece of rubber (slightly grabby, but still smooth) and texture should only be visible from a few inches away. the texture is in the form of very small orange peel. much smaller than you'd see on clearcoat. there should be no "fuzz" at all. |

SGM was gorgeous. Should have painted the lower grilles black at least. |

I knew I would find some people that didn't like it. I do agree with you about the lower grilles. I am going to be doing my window trim, roof, and lower grilles black. Thanks
