plasti dipped a few things and lovin it
hey guys i came across a few threads on plasti dipping our grills... and since every one and there uncle has a avantgarde grill i wanted something diffrent and bought some black dip and tried it out... i liked the grille so much that i bought white dip and did my escort, my engine covers and my sub surround... lol what do you guys think? I chose the dip because at anytime i can take it off and its high heat sustainability... all i have left to do is waiting on my h and r springs and 10mm spacers.... anybody's criticism is welcome and i am trying to do simple mods that don't require ruining original parts... hope to here some feedback ![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Looks pretty sweet actually! The engine cover is pretty cool, though it looks a little out of place with nothing else painted or anything. And the black on the grill actually makes the star somewhat manageable. For the first time I can remember Im not hating the star grill on a 202 completely

I just finished painting the fuse box cover and radiator cap to kinda make it blend better and curios about how long it will last too, but based on some videos I watched its lasted people more than 6 months and still looks new plus i have some mean green that supposedely keeps it clean. Ill post a update tommorow and here in a few weeks ill post another to see how it handles

I dig it as well, it looks pretty good in white. Actually, now that I see it here, I don't understand why nobody ever tried to do this before....

My good friend loves this stuff and has dipped everything down to his wheels. He just has to use a special solution to clean the wheels because is can be a little tedious to clean, but it has stood up to the tests. I am really thinking about going w/ the black dip on my wheels.
