Hello Everyone!
I finally got a change to "paint" my C250's engine cover with plasti dip. So far it's been on for 2 weeks and it's holding up perfectly. I'm posting some pics of it but be warned I did a sketchy job this time as a test run. So there are some rough edges on the pictures, there are also some dirt smears from my hands when installing it.

I do plan on cleaning it up a little bit more as well as maybe one more ascent color like red or blue in a small area. But overall very happy with it and how it matches my black and white theme.

Looks good. Do you have any close-up pics of the plasti-dip on the lower fascia? I'm thinking of vinyl wrapping t, but may go with plasti-dip if it is just as easy. Any tips?

Matt-erhorn

I can get som pics later. But I love plasti dip since it's insanely cheap and easy to do. The key is the prep as long as it's clean, dry, and well masked. No sanding and just spray a few coats. Make sure you peel the tape away immediately after the final layer is put on. If you wait for it to dry, the tape and plasti dip bond and start to tear the dip when taking away the tape.

Pics soon

Sorry these at so late. Just took a quick pic up close using my phone. I can get more later as the dust is on top of the dip.

looks wicked will normal spray paint work

Technically yes. But, I would say DON'T because that would require sanding and a lot more prep work. I would say the only reasonable options are plasti dip, vinyl, or professionally painted. I mean its your car so it's your choice but I think the risk and prep work is too high.
