Extreme dimentions , dura flex. I have one more at the house, will see how well that one fits soon.

plasti dip is like banging a fat chick.. still fun but dont let anyone see you lol. and no you dont need to remove the handles to do it. technically you dont need to mask anything because it peals right off but its easier just to mask. i used it on my roof and hatch a while back to prove to my friend that its safe lol.

post some pics when its clean

I did remove the door handles. I'm going to spray my whole car this winter in flat blue with the dipyourcar kit. It's a cheap and easy solution for fixing or replacing body panels that are damaged from drifting.

No, you want it thick so at least 2 cans, it peels off a lot easier. Experiment with the stuff first to get a feel for the spray pattern and surface adhesion.

You will need 2 cans to make it even.

It's less than 5 bucks/can, if there are issues, just redo it. Any areas that are light or thin is a PITA to take off. I'd suggest getting some wide masking paper from Home Depot while you're there. It's about 2-4 bucks depending on width, instead of using junk mail, will save you masking time and over-spray cleanup.
