I dipped my grille. It held up pretty well but was a ***** to take off.

A grill would be a bit difficult to take off because of all the small pieces that the dip is on. Also, if you happened to use any clear coat, that weakens the plastidip and makes it more difficult to remove as well.

I did a set of crappy wheels I had (forgestars). It is time consuming and I did a lousy job since there were way too many spokes on the F14

I would def do it again. Matte silver will look like primer if you use the colors they have. If your car is silver there is a matte clear coat that I bet will allow you to keep your metallic finish
Great write up but the whole car with rattlers!?!?!

Anyone in LA interested in this? Let's go half on a kit and just buy extra paint. As of now they will not ship to CA but we can work something out I'm sure. Let me know. We can get a couple people in on it and get the cost down to a level that would make it impossible not to try! I mean, would you try it if it cost $100?

At that time we weren't sure if we could shoot it out of a gun and my buddy didn't want to risk his very expensive paint guns. Damn you guys are making me want to plastidip my car again
