Looks good. They look like they have a bit of a shine to them.

 

thanks....umm not sure about the shine, could be the reflection of the cf diffuser but it'll flat black

 

curious why u didnt just take off the trim? takes like 10 seconds, front doors u just have to remove the mirror.

 

Well went to the gas station last night to fix my tire pressure and the air hose ripped s lil of the coating by the air thing . I just sprayed over it but now I see that this stuff is pretty fragile . When it gets warm again I'm gonna paint the wheels with regular paint but the Plasti dip is fine fir winter .

 

any diy's for removing all the trim??

 

Yeah lol, I didn't know how.

 

Don't remove the trim, i guarantee you will break the black plastic tabs...it's not worth it. ask me how i know...

 

well after some time one side of my tips turned a dull matte while the other side was a brighter matte....no idea why but i've decided to change the tips out...

 

Any more reviews on plasti-dip? How does it hold up? I have a feeling it would start to flake off from high pressured water hoses that my car-wash uses...

Also, Hitokiri, did you use clear plasti-dip at the end, or clear regular paint coat? I like how your rims have a bit of a "gloss" black look to it as opposed to the flat black appearance.

 

I've plasti-dipped my emblems on my other project car. Holding up well against a pressure washer so far.

 

Just cleaned the wheels up real good , hit them with like 5 coats of Plasti Dip and than a few coats of matte clear coat . Went through winter with no problems even at the car wash . Only issue is that the inner barrels sort if soak up the brake dust so you need a lot of clear coat and make sure to keep the insides clean .

 

how long did you let it dry in between coats?

 

About 20 - 40 minutes depending on weather .

 

thats good, because on the can it says 4 hours......

 

any prep before applying?
anybody try it on the grill yet?
what about on the body? does it hold on the body paint too?

 

The only prep I did was cleaning and drying . I did my grill too with no problems . Holds up really good and easy to remove if you don't like it . The stuff is pretty amazing .

 

woww that sounds legit. did you need to pop the grill out? or no. i want to black out the grill and the emblem

 

Yeah you have to take out the grill or else your gonna end up spraying the radiator and other parts .

 

gotta learn how to pop that grill....

 

Removing the grille is probably one of the easiest things to do, in under 5 minutes, with no tools required.

1) Pop open hood
2) Push in the entire bottom of the grille to unclip the hooks
3) Remove the two nubs behind the grille in the center that fit into two holes (one on each side), often referred to as a t-bar
4) Pull up (towards the sky) from both sides of the grill to get the two cylinders out of the grooves.
5) Install new grille or reinstall modified grille in reverse order.

 

im probably gonna do this to my grill this weekend, should i remove the chrome from the grille or can i just tape it?

 

I just taped mine up but you have to remove the tape while the paint is still wet or the paint will peel with the tape .

 

Carefully taped grill 3 light coats cut tape with a razor blade and install.

 

^^^ that looks really good, im gonna do this tomorrow

 

Came out really nice , 3 coats all you need on the grill . I like the way you taped up the star I didn't think of blanketing the star like you did , I taped around the chrome and the inside lol took forever .
