Yup he was the first. Did mine exactly like it. Except mine isn't plastidip.

Both look awesome! I'll try to come up with another style of it then. Lol, but I couldn't go wrong with either one.

I'm assuming since most of y'all are saying you've had your parts dipped for a while, it holds up well to washes? Is it recommended to buy the kind they sell on dipyourcar.com or just anything will do?

Black & Chrome

All Black

All Chrome after I peeled it off

I think he was talking about the cheap plastic chrome on the grill.

If you're referring to me I wasn't talking about the grill. That's just all I've done so far. I was talking about the bumpers.

I love that hood design.

I have had my bumpers done but either fl has some big bugs or I didn't put it on thick enough. Maybe I will try coating it with clear. Anyone try painting with another paint on top of it? I did a test run and the paint seemed to make the plastidip wrinkle.

I plastidipped my grill shell white.

Thanks....that is PlastiDip as well

NeoC777 · 02-07-2013, 11:47 AM

wow thats an awesome job, Im guessing you just taped off the hood with the design and plasti dipped it like you would anything else.

that looks good, makes me want to do my wheels in the same white. any thing i should be aware of before starting. any specific brand?

Optrix · 02-07-2013, 01:34 PM

What do you mean? It's just white plasti dip, wash/clean the wheels like normal but then mix a solution of alcohol and water and put some on a towel and clean it. Don't oversaturate the towel, just enough to wipe down the wheels.

The white is a less popular color so I had to order them online from homedepot at $48 a 6 pack

Drunken · 02-07-2013, 01:45 PM

how did i not know there was a plasti-dip thread?!?!

Optrix · 02-07-2013, 01:48 PM

Lol this isn't really a plasti dip thread,it just sort of became that way

EDIT: Just started one!
