Yes...I admit I took forever to do mine...but then again, I think there might have been only 1 or 2 waiting after me. Also, I had no idea what I was doing...once I figured it out on the first side, the other went a lot faster lol.
If you don't want to crack your paint, I would say you need about 1-1.5 hours if you're just doing the rears. It's something you DON'T want to rush. It also helps if you have someone helping you apply the heat with the heat gun. The key is to constantly apply the heat evenly...then use the roller a little bit, then heat, then roll, etc. I'd say the majority of the time is spent heating especially if it's cold outside. For the MS3s...start at the very top towards the rear of the car and work your way down and to the front of the car. I started with a very slight angle and work your way to rolling it completely flat. I'll probably show up to lend a hand.

That's definitely a good tip, any muck or dirt there will most likely be stuck there forever if you roll it flush.
I posted this a little while back so you guys could have an idea od who would be rollin'.
Ah I forgot about that list but I do remember you posting it now...
Any potential locations? I'll throw my place into consideration, I live kind of far away for you Akron folks but I have lots of space. I have a barn and can easily get 2 cars inside with plenty of space to work should inclement weather happen.

Lol I'm hoping for no more snow but I know we'll probably have more cold. I really want to wait until it's warmer because of the paint. Even with the heat gun, I'd feel more comfortable waiting. If I could only predict the weather, I would move it up. Oh and having the barn and lots of space would work out really well for me. What town do you live in?
I have an Amherst mailing address but I'm really 10-15 minutes from Amherst: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=50362...Ohio+44001&t=m&z=16&iwloc=A&source=gplus-ogsb
