Like I mentioned before i didn't prep/sand/or prime anything. Stuck like glue and has held up to several washes/rain/me. I put 3 coats also and then let ir dry over night.

project started and 2 hours in it is nothing but tape, this is the biggest pain in the ****. now i know why people buy them made and just stick them on but so far so good, i did my rear pioneer 3-ways 6X8 so in reality most of the time was just installing the speakers and some dynomat under them and tapeing the lights, so far it has been raining outside but i will just set up in the garage and put some heat lamps over them

total time = 8 hours
paint used: Ultra-Flat black camo paint
projects finished:
1. cut and install dynomat under speakers
2. install Pioneer 6X8 3-way speakers
3. Paint taillights
the speakers took a good hour, but the dynomat was killing me the whole time so it brought it up to two hours, then the tape on the taillights took a good 3 hours cause i used masking tape instead of painters tape (bad idea) then it rainf and finally got a chance to paint but still raining so paint took a while to dry, first sign of sun i took them out on the drive way to bake a little then removed the tape. Will post pics tonight, i am going to go take a nap i am tired.
