This might answer some of your questions.
This is the front bumper...You can see that its started to peel cuz A) it dry completely and B) it wasn't taped off properly. Roof: This is where i started to run out of paint.. Its kinda thin however it does peel off pretty easily, Door jams, Driver rear,: I didn think to maybe put tape in there..ITs a good idea, however u can see it got in there a little bit.. Nothing that cant be taken off This is due to not taping off the trim correctly and the car still somehow being wet when we started And matte white gets dirty pretty quick..it did rain here

I recently sprayed a design on my hood/front bumper/headlights. When dealing with lines, you must spray on just a couple of heavy coats and IMMEDIATELY remove the tape BEFORE it dries. Otherwise, you will tear the PD and your lines will not be clean. I'm going to post some pics by the weekend of what I've done, but this stuff is so easy to work with and cleans up great. Overspray can be cleaned w/either rubbing it off with bare hand, cloth and a soapy/water mixture or a remover such as Oops.
Preparation and patience are KEY when using this stuff. Once done, you'll enjoy the results. And, if you do use it outdoors, make sure there's no wind. I had to redo the hood lines b/c it got windy and the PD created a rough texture instead of a smooth one. I suggest using a tent to prevent anything from falling, but still be careful of bugs flying onto it or anything blown onto it. And my motto for PD - If you don't like it, peel it!

Some pics of my weekend PD project. These are the lines I was speaking about. It took twice as long to prep as it did to spray. Again, when doing lines, you spray a couple of heavy coats. When doing the whole car/wheels/mirror caps (anything that doesn't include lines), you spray appx 6 thin coats. Hope to take/post better pics soon (in my own thread).

didnt get around to it... Removal wasnt that hard where it was thick.. but the places that were thin was a bit*h ...
There are some places that i can not reach and will not come off.. Like all the rubber areas.. I would rethink about doing this again!
