thanks yall, sure did paint them on the car just a lot of masking on the inside and hard to reach areas but doable, no way the ceramic paint is awesome, just make sure you clean, clean, clean the surface, sand and 2 coats of paint let dry and apply decal and then another 2 coats of clear. Let the car sit for a couple days to let the paint cure.
when you see them up close they look sicccc.

Wow, that looks great! But I'm really confused as to why you did them while still on the car. I've seen less newspaper used in a publishing house, lol.
