Plasti dip has its advantages but it can look cheap. We used it on her emblems and it looks great but on the grille it just becomes a pain cuz it can peel real easily.

I agree. I was just too lazy to go with the vinyl. My next upgrade will be to paint my calipers red. Stay tuned...

Nice work. Is that matte black with glossifier? How did you prepare the surface beforehand?
