Not too much sniffing, just a lot of glue everywhere. On my fingers etc. Then you touch a piece like the hood thenyou have a glue mark there on it and cant get it off and pretty much have the hood ruined.

Forget the stickers too. You put em in water and then tear every one of them while moving them from the dish of water to the car. How can you paint something as small as a speedo either. A brush with three hairs on it?

What I like to do is, if the speedo has raised numbers and stuff, I paint the whole thing black, then take a paper towel, fold it several time, and dip the corner in white paint. Wipe most of it off on the edge of the paint bottle, so that there is only a little paint left on the paper towel, then drag it across the raised numbers. Some times you have to do this a few time, but it usually comes out pretty good.
