Plasti Dipping Finally Done



Well i about a month ago plasti dipped my wheels and rear badges but ofcourse it didnt look finished because the front had nothing done. Past couple of days did my side markers Mercedes Hood Star, rear exhaust tips and just finished up doing my grill. I know its night time so pics arent great but was too excited. Ill post better pics tomorrow when there is sunlight. Ill probably delete the hood star for a flat one but for now its there.

I like the contrast between body and the tips.

Curious how the dip holds up agains the exhaust heat.

My experience with it honestly is a 7/10 simply because as much as they say its as durable as paint its very false. A nick or deep enough scratch and the edges of that nick or scratch raise up you have to use thinner to smooth it out and respray. Also when filling gas by mistake i spilled a bit on the rim and it discolors badly have to clean and respray. Also its a must to use spray wax on it since it will start to dull badly. It has its faults but its fixable.
