Trying to see how blacking out the trim around the grill and windows would look.

 

On a white IS, it looks awesome.

 

Is there a DIY on the forum somewhere? ive searched and cant find anything.

 

Here's mine:

Did you do this yourself? If so, would you do mine? I'll pay u lol

 

Didn't do the grille just the window trim

 

Not the best picture but its a silver lining with chrome delete

 

Anybody have any tips? Materials? How-to suggestions?

Did you do it yourselves and, if not, what did you pay?

 

Right now Pepboys has a sale 2 for $12 plastidip, lots of painters tape. My advice is to masked up the car really good, no matter how careful u are, u always get overspray. I spent a lot of time cleaning overspray because i was too lazy to cover up the surrounding areas.

 

I have personally assisted three buddies in the past with plasti-dipping their wheels, trim, lettering, etc. & strongly advise against it. Not only is it a flat matte look (even with a glossifier), but it peels off shortly after its applied. I'm having a professional car wrap company chrome delete my vehicle tomorrow so I'll post some pictures Sunday when it's complete. They use a plastic "paint matching" film which perfectly forms over each individual piece. Of course it's not nearly as cheap as a six dollar can of spray dip. All three friends who did plasti-dip have since used this company after the fact. Without tenting the taillights, I got an estimate for $300 w/ a two year warranty.

 

I got the L wrapped over to complete the chrome delete and plasti dipped the back emblems (leaving the L emblem filled in to match). Decided to just get the emblem wrapped over instead of tinting or replacing the emblem for convenience of already getting the chrome wrapped.

 

anyone do this on a nebula gray specifically and used plastic-dip?

 

I got a chrome delete on my nebula grey, along with the gloss black roof. But mine was wrapped black...

 

Wrapped all the chrome + Roof + Trunk

 

I did it on mine before I sold it. It looked really good. Totally worth it.
