Default Phoenix Chameleon Dipped

So I've been wanting to dip my car for a while. Gives me a nice opportunity to try out other colors, keeps the appearance fresh, so on, so forth.
Made quite a few mistakes, but since it's my first dip, I'm pretty happy with the results.

Where did you get the dip from? What did you tape off beside the wheels and top? Looking to dip my car as well!

Looks pretty good for dip, but I would finish removing the dip from the grill the two front mudflap things.

I got all the stuff from dipyourcar.com, and I only taped off the wheels, top and rear bumper trim. In the future, I'll tape off the grill as well.

Thanks! Really, it only looks that good from about 10'-20'. It's my first dip, so up close it has an almost velvet texture to it, which I'm kinda starting to like, but isn't considered a quality dip. The chameleon pearls really help to hide the mess ups since it has the color fade anyway.

Worse than that, I got overspray on the rear passenger tire and haven't taken the time to remove it yet, so I've got a tire that's about half chameleon. This weekend I'll have the time to go and remove it. Honestly if there wasn't the giant tape mark on the passenger flap, I'd leave it, but it does look pretty amateur to have it like it is.
