Well I got a bit of a discount since my cousin knows a guy at the body shop. Tail lights were $100, I pulled them off the car and dropped them off at the shop to avoid some labor costs. To get the lip painted was another $100. A full bumper might be like $400-600 to paint.

Why? I have had mine done since October last year. So far so good.

I just much rather avoid it because with the constant use of the door handles I feel it will be more susceptible to wear and tear. How many coats did you use? With constant opening and closing any chipping or flaking of the plasti-dip?

I have about 5-6 coats of black and 5-6 of red on each handle. No chipping or flaking. Inside of the handle is starting to come a little loose, but I plan on trimming that off and re-spraying inside of the handle really good. I had overlooked that space when I did them. I should have pics of them in this thread.

I'm really tempted to do my door handles now to match the wheels.

Anyone watching this thread plasti dipped the sport wheels.

I want to see what they look like before I consider powdercoating them

I'm worried about getting it even with all the crevices on the sport wheels

There was a local member who came to one of our meets with plasti dipped sport wheels. They looked pretty nice.

It was a blue one I think. Doing the wheels was a a lot easier than I thought, I think you should go for it. Just remember to get the inside edges of the spokes too.

I have like 2.5 cans left. Might need more?

Took me about one can to do like 5 coats on two wheels. The SP Rays are a bit bigger, but depending on how many coats you want to do that may be enough. At most you would probably need like one more can.
