Black looks amazing it is just so dang hard to keep clean and swirl free!

That looks great (and the driveway and the view too). You must have steady hands. I thought about doing the trims around the windows too but not confident enough to spray. If it's peelable, maybe I will try the front first. Just wondering, does it not have any effect on the sensors?

He said earlier that they did. I'm shocked that they do still work honestly:

That's interesting but now that I think about it, it is covered with paint already, so if you paint again, it should still work. Maybe it works like the stud finders.

Yeah I really don't have a steady hand, everything was masked off. I should off taken a picture of that too i guess. The funny thing about plasti is you don't mask right up to where you want to paint (except on a straight edge, then you take the tape off right after you spray so it doesn't bond to the tape and mess up your edge). So i had like an inch high black line on my hood after and I simply picked the edge and started pulling and bam its gone. Its actually better to have more overspray then less because it will create a nice bond and it is way easier to pull off.

the sun pic shows how well the dipped pieces blend with the black HL housing, and the garnish where the fogs would go.

Anyone want to venture in using plastidip as a sound insulator? You can create a tiny barrier between the doors and door panel. It won't so much maybe but it could possibly help reduce squeeks.

Can you take a closer pix of the bumper? I'd like to see the lines and texture. Thanks.

You brought up a good point... If I black out the front, I may have to black out the housing for the fogs too. I don't know how that will look.
This guy is being honest
Thanks for the tips.

What was the drying time on the bumper?

Quick question - Did you remove the front grill to paint over the chrome surround or just tape and spray?

I am going to plasti dip the whole front 1/4 of the car for my trip to daytona, it will come right off when I am done

If your trying to protect your front bumper for road trips, your better off using painters tape. Much easier to put on and take off compared to plasti dip. Take a look



Plus it holds up pretty well

Yeah i love plasti dip. The more coats you put on the easier it will be to peel off. I have had some on my front bumper for months and it hasnt been affected at all. It has been through multiple washes and interstate trips and looks new.
Looks great on that GS btw. Did you cover the parking sensors??

yardie876

That's a nice matte blue. I wouldn't mind rocking that with some fresh rims lol.

Is the front upper grill painted too? I'm wondering if I should paint it black...
