Not only do I "hope" it's temporary, I also hope no one switched cans of spray paint where you bought it...

You are right and we need to do that to my Vette, it would assist me in the new ghost flames I am thinking about I do like it especially if it will come off, you did a very nice job of doing something different that looks good

I saw Jeff's car today and it looked awesome!

I've used this paint before, more like a chalky substance when it dries. Comes off really easy. You could wipe your finger across it and it would come right off.

Infact...

I went to the carwash, and just sprayed it off. Easier than washing the car and it looks GREAT!
