    yeh i did centre of mine and a few tit bits. dpeending on the panel it can be VERY hard. i did mine in black glitter i dont see point in gloss and all that might aswell spray. looking to do camo next. its better if u do it with more than one person and a heat gun lol i used hair dryer, pretty frustrating and creases and bubbles ruin the look A LOT. same with air bubbles but just put a hole in the bubble. il look for some pics. btw the sharper the edges or vents or whatever, the harder it is and the way u place it matters A LOT
