Has anyone had issues with Plasti Dip around the exhaust area? The exhaust tips can get hot.

You will have absolutley NO problem with heat effecting it on the rear section. Ive had mine done since summer and my Z is my DD. The Plasti Dip on the rear looks the same as the day I applied it.

skeeter took the pics and video for me. I did the paint... it was just standard plasti dip... it was eight thick coats.... to allow full filling and to make it easier if needing to be removed/redone

I'll post more pics

Here are a few pics of the plasti dipping I've done. Skeeterbop has been there for alot of it and he's posted some of the pics... here is what he was missing. with me, the Plasti Dip Picaso at the end.... lol....

I'll tell you what though, having a lift... makes it VERY easy to get the front and rear diffusers done... lol

A very steady hand and an exacto knife. I wouldn't let Michael J Fox do it for you. I did it eye level so the angle wasn't odd or hard for me to get. *I cheated using a lift* >=) but just score along the angle break in the diffuser and make sure you're lite on the blade. Going too deep will go into your paint. If you were in EP I'd offer to help.

Guys that did your wheels did you also do the inside of the wheel. In another words did you do the inside edge of the wheel (where wheel weights go)also or just the outside area you see when just looking at wheel straight on.

I don't like the wheel all black... I was considering it, but after this... no. LoL. These are all forum members ... nice work... just not for me
The blue Z was posted by accident. It's not plasti dipped, but the forum won't let me remove. Smf...
