How did you cure the paint?

1) Most seem to do a light coat (let dry to touch).
2) Heavy coat (run engine for 10mins).
3) Go drive the car for 30+ mins.

^ pretty much what I did. I think 2 light coats then a heavy one. I have a couple small runs, nothing you can see unless under the car. I'll lightly sand it with the pad one day and coat it again.

OMG, you can troll people soo hard with that picture. "I don't know what you're talking about. I think the muffler looks great! So much so, I took off my diffuser to flaunt it."

Nicely done and proper looking. Makes the entire rear look lower, wider and more aggressive.

Are you going to tint your taillights too?

No, I will leave the taillights. Maybe on some colors, but I think they look fine on SO.
