This is not for the novice installer.. the right techniques tools and materials are necessary .
I wouldn't sell the kit to customers. Tanks would have to be sent to me.

Nice job on the install. I can only imagine how much skill that takes. I can rarely install a sticker on a partially curved surface without it bubbling up somewhere.

But yeah...you really should get some better shots--either with a different camera or under different lighting. Looks like grey primer to me.
