I like it. I agree with the rims and spoiler needing to be done.

You remove the bezels. That's what I did with mine. They pop right out.

I use a plastic scraper. At work we have them that have knife edges........ Before the plasti dip dries. And you have put your last coat down. You run the scraper along the tape. If not the tape will not come off clean. You basically need to cut the plastic before it dries. That's what I did when I sprayed my front and rear emblem.

Nice...that's a really good idea.

How many cans did you use for the whole thing or how did you do it? Thanks.

partymn · 05-07-2014, 10:42 AM

5 gallon can thinned 30% and an HVLC paint gun with a 1.8 mm tip. Came out a bit textured, when I do it next time I will be thinning it to 40% to see how it comes out.

partymn · 05-26-2014, 01:05 PM

So I think that I am done for now. Plasti Dipped the spoiler, tail light bazels, wheels, front bow tie, and did 30% tint. I ended up removing the dip from the spoiler and tail light bazels. What do you guys think, need to do anything else?

Looks good!

Q'smuscle · 05-26-2014, 01:46 PM

Great job! I think it looks great how it is now! Don't need the spoiler diped too!

CamaroI · 05-26-2014, 04:15 PM

I like the colors but not a fan of Plasit dip look overall. If going to do wrap or paint

partymn · 05-26-2014, 04:21 PM

Paint is in the future but plasti dip gave a non perminent option so I could figure out just how I wanted to paint it. Dont want it looking like just any old strip package or paint scheme. Its still missing somthing so I will keep playing with it for a while longer.

CamaroI · 05-26-2014, 04:48 PM

Maybe do the mirrors black and then right under front grill area as we'll... Then don't blacken out trunk but do the spoiler black and then blacken out further down on back bumper by light area

Blacked chrome beZels as we'll
