There is another color which you might want to look into. Its just gunmetal spray...

I think I might try one handle in gunmetal, and another in Anthracite or Smoke or something, see how they compare...

I actually couldn't tell the difference between anthracite vs. gunmetal.

Yes! That dipped area part will protect your bumper from exhaust fumes and grime that shoots out. I have some photos in my album on how i did mine

thanks bro im going to check btw... How i can remove the tape and paper with out damage the plasti diped area??

NickTurnon · 09-03-2013, 11:18 AM

Buy the "straight edge" painters tape from Hardware Store. Try and tape off the best you can in a straight line. Its best to use the crease that the car has as your line.

Spray a few coats and on the last coat make sure you spray the edges well and get them wet again. Then pull off the tape and paper as fast as you can so it doesn't dry. Do it in the garage or in the shade so you get a few more seconds to peel without it drying..

Theres a couple vids on youtube if you don't understand completely. Trial and error sometimes

Dozier - If i could make a couple of recommendations, I would remove the plastidip on the side markers, but only the Z part. Not the ring around the emblem. Itll make it stand out much more, I promise. Especially with your wheels.

Also, check out my build thread on my headlights. They would look really good with the rest of your blacking out.

Consider using "Glossifier" for a glossy finish like your roof rather then the matte.

Dozier · 10-30-2013, 10:16 PM

Roof is vinyl wrap. I plan on smoking the tail lights and the inside of the headlights. I will paint the projector ring red to match the car also.
