Not sure if this has been mentioned, but it helps if you put a small piece of tape inside the enclosed portions of the emblems for some added protection when removing the plastidip inside with toothpick, etc.
Also, when I did my emblems, I had a decent amount of spray back even though it wasn't windy. Be generous when taping off and covering. |

Have to find a Home Hardware around here
I'm sold on picking up some cans to try stuff. I see some people have done it to their rims. I won't do it to my Z rims, but I've been telling the wife her BMW would look sick with black rims...she refuses to buy some lol I'm thinking I'll spray them with this as it can be removed. I guess its just going to be a long task if I need to scrape it off? Shes on a business trip next week...haha...surprise!

How do you think this is going to look on 40th? Possibly the fang and rear valence? I've seen plastidip on Yellow, Red, Blue, White and they look amazing! I just don't think it will give enough contrast to my liking.

So if I do this.. I would have to include "PlstiDip" in my signature. I'm not sure if I am ready for that.

Yeah I'd love to have CF all over, but gets pretty expensive. I don't want to keep touching my supercharge funding lol

Yeah I can see that.
If theres only a way I can use that plasti dip and make it glossy.. just in case I get tired of it or maybe go a different route.

Gloss black roof on the 40th's is a nice touch from what I've seen

Plasti-Dipped Wheels
I tried the plasti-dip on my stock 18"s last night. Stuff is so easy to take off but doesnt really scuff that easily with rocks, chips, etc...
Let me know what you think of the rims. I will eventually get nice 19"s or 20"s but this is it for now.. $$$$ |
