I do but not the camo. i did wood grain and black. the stuff is easty to work with but a heat gun is your friend as well as keeping clean surfaces. the black vinyl is so thin the dash texture comes through

plus a very sharp knife or if you can get your hands on a scalpel those are the best for trimming the hard areas like the speaker vents and edges. also it is hard to trim a strait line so i used pinstripe tape dropped on the ground to make the backing not so sticky and used that as a guide.

For the money Hydrographing would be a lot easier, look better, and is less than 100 bucks for a diy kit and excellent results can be achieved. going to hydro dip my dash in my first gen in camo because after 5 years the vinyl looks like poop and is peeling by the heater vents. check out you tube vids on it. easier process and way cleaner

its finished in a low gloss clear that came in the kit. a high gloss would look better i think.
Im about to attempt to do the valve cover for my new project. 2jzgte + 86 4runner swap.

thats all ive got. if you get the kit practice a lot and watch the you tube vids for techniques. after a few tries it gets easier. lots of variables. ill post the valve cover when i do it.
