pictures of 1 vs 2 coats

Thought I'd share the difference of looks between 1 coat and 2. According to Veil Guy the protection is the same. So, I guess it just depends on the look you're after. Drivers side is 1 coat, passenger side is 2.

In these pics it looks even darker b/c its wet. Picture 2 is a better representation of 2 coats. On my expedition, 1 coat of Veil looks better than no coats! It was kind of yellow before and I personally don't like the looks of yellow lights.

I just want to tell you that you have your other two Blinder heads too high. Lower them down about 5"

You got chrome on the mirrors too? :shock:

I talked with Roy and leon at length and this is what I decided on. I was concerned about the size of the hood b/c there are a lot of hills around here. Police like to sit on a pearch. Besides, the distance from the top left blinder to the bottom left blinder is 15". Why would it be too high???

Yes, there is chrome on the mirors. I was concerned about that, too. I went ahead and Veiled have the front of the trucks chrome, just to see what it would look like. Not half bad. Think i should keep it (and finish it)?

Last year at our GOL event Leon had a VERY similar mounting as yours on our test vehicle which was a Ford Explorer and the BLinder did not do well AT ALL with this mounting location. Once we moved them lower, about a 6" lower, punchthroughs were cut in half.

Crap! I remember reading about that. But, was that an M40? I can see the 2 on the hood, but where are the others??? Is that them at the bottom of the bumper? That's a big gap, if it is.

If I move my top row down 1 foot. I'd be just a couple of inches from my bottom row.

See the green marks this is where we had the lower Blinders at

But you were targeting the plate, he has no plate, and I would tend to go with the center of mass shot more likely, higher the head the better, looks like the expedition is covered fairly well considering all the possibilities.
