Plastidiped my rear diffusor


Just finnished to plasti dip my rear diffusor.
The first layer looked like ****, and i got a littlebit scared how this would look




Here comes the second layer( not dried yet)





Third layer


I applied 5 layers all in all











On this job i used about 1/3 of a spraycan, and it very easy to apply, just do thin layers.

The next project will be my winter wheels

I have bought Black and silver metalizer and hope i get the effect i like.
I like to have my wheel something like Antracite grey metallic

When i got the car, it was full of tar and dried mud, and i used some paraffin to clean the tip, and I also have to use it once in a while.

I did mine last fall and loved how it protected the rims from the harsh salt and debris we have here in Calgary. Made a huge difference in the look of the car.
