plasti dipped my front grill/ and de badged my 08 IS250
 

i took some suggustions and painted my chrome grilles on the front of my IS/250.

i used the plastidip product with the plastidip gloss as well. i liked it with the chrome before and i also like this too! so whatcha think now? and i also de badged the rear, to fill the little holes left over i just cut out some black vinyl circles and just covered the lil holes, u could harldy tell it is there. first pic is before and then new look.

It definitely looks better

I plastidipped all my emblems, the grill too and painted my exhaust. I had the rear emblems shaved though.

the black emblem looks good with the cars color! i wonder how the plastidip will hold up to car washes? lets see the grille please

can u post some better close ups of the grille. i was thinking to do the glossy plastidip finish on mine to see if i like it before i paint it permanently.
also where did you buy the supplies?

how much closer? and bought supplies on ebay. this is not a permant fix! you can take off the plastidip anytime you want and itwill not affect the original look prior to plastidiping. and also , the plastidip gloss is not a real gllossy look. i sprayed the gloss in 3 coats and it still does not shine like i wanted. maby if it ever peels ill just have it painted with car paint.

Here's the best picture I have of mine (the wheels are also plastidipped):

very nice! how is the product holding up to cawashes? any chips or peel spots on it aywhere from rocks or car washes? i always like how the black and siver goes well with each other! now a few spoilers here and there and she"ll look even better.

The dip has been done for about 3 months and in that time, the car has been washed once. Sad, I know. It was washed by hand at a car wash place and it's been on 100+ mile trips and so far, so good. Up next is the chrome trim around the windows.

ok thanks for the feedback. its funny that i am trying to add chrome accents(door handle covers) and you are covering the chrome up! lol i wonder how it would look if you blacked the door handles? and i also say whatever you do to your car that u like, then thats all that matters. your car is coming along nicely!

definitely looks better :thumbup:

im very familiar with plasti dip i did my wheels as well.

i was interested in the gloss finish product.

the chrome grille is hurting my eyes. looks 100000X better platidiped!

thanks for the comments. maby we should start a " let's see your plastidipped parts " thread.
