A day after spraying Rustoleum black gloss peel coat, this happens on one side of my car. Other side is fine. I think mist from my neighbor's sprinkler system touched the dip while applying.

Ughh

It must have been the water, if a surface isn't completely dry when applying it will peal or crack.

Luckily a friend of mine is a police office so he can just write off the ticket and I just have to pay a $15 fine. So not too big of a deal, but now I roll down my windows whenever I see a cop haha.

Tints make your car look 10x better! I'm definitely keeping mine even after I got my ticket lol

I live in Dublin and these cops have nothing better to do :dunno:
How dark were your fronts and were you pulled over by CHP?

I work in the Pleasanton area so I'm hoping I don't run into the same cop! :nono:

I got pulled over by a Dublin cruiser, so not CHP. I was right next to a San Ramon cruiser and he didn't mind. :headbang:

Why can't people park?! I still can't get over my door dings and I can't even imagine getting back to my car after a full day of work and seeing that. Sorry man. :cry:

I know right? Parking is not hard. It was a Toyota Tundra that hit it. I was furious at first..I purchased the car exactly one month ago. Haven't even made my first monthly payment and this happens.

I am less pissed now. On the bright side the guy who did it left a note with his contact info instead of just taking off. Insurance is going to resolve it and my dealership is going to do the body work. I really hope that it looks brand new when they are done :nono:

That was intentional.

Last time I taped off the seal, some of the plastidip came off the chrome part while removing the tape. I'm planning on removing all the extra dip.

I would be soooooooo furious. I get high anxiety every time I leave my apartment and walk up to my car. Just another reason why I am the last parked car anywhere I go.

Hopefully you get her patched up soon!
