Nope, the old stuff came off no problem- was 3m I believe, was the
bestest, nicest, shiniest paint on the whole car, all Cosmos Blue &
everything. :)

I esp like the idea of how it helps to mate two surfaces together as
they might not be exactly the same rate of curve, not parallel. Plus the
dirt cant get between the two and grind over time, it makes an air
barrier

Don't get your hopes up, it aint happening. I'm into 'inky' cars- black
bumpers, trim, chrome (as in lack of, none or anodized etc.), no gold,
slight tint on the windows.
