Man that looks awesome!!!!!!! one question though and im sorry if i missed it, but how do you peel the contact off? i would have thought that once that stuck, you would remove paint (base) to get it off? any tips on that?

Thanks! and well done!!

Contact comes off easy peasy. So long as the basecoat is allowed to dry thoroughly, and the cab was prepped properly in the first place, there is no danger of removing basecoat paint. another thing to remember is not to cut too deep with the scalpel when cutting out the shapes, it isnt necessary to put a lot of pressure on the blade when cutting, otherwise if you cut too deep tiny bit of basecoat can come off where the blade cuts are. This DID happen to me on a couple of sections of this cab.. very minimal though, and was easily touched up. The blade also needs to be super sharp too, this makes a BIG difference and makes the job much easier.
