Not sure how everyone in this group feels about plastidip. I wanted to get your guys feedback, which color do you think would look good?

 

NOT the first two.

 

The current color right now is ultra white

 

Leave the ultra white alone

 

Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!! Doing a wheel or front lip is ok as there isn't much to muck up, but unless you are really **** about attention to detail, prep work, and taking your time it will be messed up. This is just MHO so take it for what it's worth.

 

I won't be dipping the car anymore. I am in love with the ultra white. Lol

 

Crisis averted.

 

Lol

 

Excellent Choice. Ultra White is the "Ultra" color for the RC imo. I saw all colors lined up one by one just the other day and the Ultra White was the beauty among beauties.

 

Good choice haha

Plastidip, when applied correctly, can actually look pretty good (in small doses) Though, over the span of the whole car?... Blemishes will be easily seen and VERY apparent.

 

I dipped my grille and this was the turnout

 

That looks really good, any recommendations on the process?

 

Yes, heres what my masking job looked like, try to mask closer on the mesh grille and holes on the bottom of the grille. You'll be happy after when clean up isn't a pain like it was for me. Also, 4-5 coats at least, hit it from different angles because you want the dip to be thick all around. If your coats are thick enough, cleanup will be an absolute breeze. Try to dip it indoors because if you do it outdoors, the wind can cause overspray. Last thing, for every coat you apply, pull the rubber seal on the top of the grille between the grille and hood so that the plastidip doesn't bond to the rubber seal, that could ruin it later on.

 

Thanks for the write up and pic. Since I have a black car already I'm trying to decide what on the front grill to paint black. I'm thinking the lower part of the grill that is silver, thoughts?

 

Yeah that's not a bad idea, my personal preference is just blacking the entire thing out, even if the car is black. I used to have a black lexus and it comes out really nice.
