That was easy...
Tape it off, shake can and apply, wait a very short while and volia...
The butt end of the c5 is just huge and especially on the lighter colors it really helps to fill in the rear fascia to thin out the visual footprint IMO.
One can of Plastic-dip, some tape and 20 minutes super easy. I'm not a real detail person but a couple of attempts of laying down the first line of tape took most of the time. Now for the cove screens that I picked up from Nascar57 (thx bud), exhaust tips, getting the right jake applied, lowered on bolts, tires, etc....
this stuff does come off doesn't it?

Yes, I masked off the back and sanded the fascia with 1000grit sandpaper to make a surface just rough enough for the paint to stick. Then I just $h!t canned it with duplicolor flatbalck a few times. dyring and sanding as needed till I got a flat smooth final coat. You may need two cans.
