    I was bored and plasti dip is cheap and reversible. Also I've never been thrilled with driftwood pearl.

    I may be obtuse, but what am I looking at? This looks like the back end of a standard Prius.

    If you want to float the Prius I would think you are gonna need a couple cases of this stuff...

    If it will clog a screen door in the bottom of a aluminum boat with a fat guy in it, it will float a Prius.....:D

    I agree with above.

    Not that I would do it at all...but the emblems look okay. The Hatch Piece...just looks wrong.

    Yeah the original plan was to just do the emblems but the hatch piece was out of boredom I've been thinking about a black hood. Just wondering how'd it look.

    Many problems are the result of someone being bored.:D

    I liked the emblem coating though.

    I did the emblems on my 2010. It looks really good.

    You might want to adjust your rear wiper. It is not in the correct position. You need to move it more the the drive side at an angle. When it wipes, it should be a horizontal line at the bottom where it stops.
