It took me 15 hours, cause I went ahead and waited for the paint to dry for every coating I put in. That and it takes time to tape up the parts you dont wanna fuck up. I'm kinda a perfectionist, so I wanted to do it nice and clean. Towards the end, I started to not care, that's why my bumper is like hanging or sum shit, not that you notice it unless you look at it up close, lol. I broke off the hangers cause the bitch wouldnt clip. I kicked my bumper really hard, lol, and they broke, lol.....

Dont fuck with me bumper, lol....I'll end your life....

15 hours is a bit extreme. when 97acura3.0cl did mine, we started around 11pm, stopped at about 2am to let them dry over night, then put them back on in the morning. The drying is the longest, but if youre sleeping, then its all good

A lot of people use a heat gun to do it. Just make sure that you don't hold the gun too close for too long, or burn yourself for that matter.

Nope, they didnt fog up. Yes I used the oven. I bought a heat gun for the process, but it didnt do shit. So i threw it in the oven instead. Best idea ever!
