Gloss looks really nice. Are you doing this by yourself or do you have a buddy to help you? I want to try this but not enough to buy vinyl for an entire car and give up ha
I might pick up enough vinyl for a fender or the back bumper and test it out. Color looks good

Hey man, plastidip is fun for like an experiment, I did the roof of a Mazda 3 I had previously. But after a while you notice that it looks cheap... and it's evident. The best thing to do for quick colour conversions is to buy vinyl wrap and a heat gun. I just wrapped a few parts in vinyl myself and I will post the pics shortly. Came out pretty great.

I highly recommend John. He did a very clean and meticulous job with my wrap.

And no the car wont over heat. When youre sitting in traffic for 2 hours with no high speed air hitting your radiator, your car doesnt over heat .

You should block the front grill as well. I blocked mine and got an extra MPG, could be cirumstantial but it happened. I drove a '97 Accord 1300 miles and did all kinds of things for MPG. Blocking off the entire front grill helped out the most.
