Ok so I bought this plasti dip and was planing on painting my wheels and door handle but then I thought, I want to see what it looks like when it matches my car paint.

Anyone know a good place to find Platinum Graphite?

I looked at Duplicolor for a match and found BNS0564 at Autozone but when I went there they didn't have it and they searched their computers and found out that that color wasn't available from duplicolor.

Keep in mind duplicolor won't come off like plastidip. You could check into dipyourcar.com? I think they can make custom colors, and maybe something if you gave them the color code?

I was actually going to plasti dip the rims and door handle first, then paint over that. I checked dipyourcar.com and didn't see any options for custom colors, I'll try emailing them just in case.

Thanks

I don't know if they'll be able to color match a custom color for you. The closest you could probably get would be a black base coat with the silver metalizer over it. I used this combo to get a dark gunmetal color for my wheels. I think if you spray more of the metalizer than I did (3 coats) you can get a lighter gray color closer to what the PG is.

i have a question for the plasti-dip pros. i applied 5 coats to my rear valence with 20-30 minute intervals of drying. after my last coat i waited about 2hrs before removing my painters tape and when i did the plasti-dip came with it, leaving torn edges around my whole valence. what did i do wrong (1st time using this product)? every video i see on youtube the person just start peeling and the plasti-dip always breaks away from the part of interest without issues.

If you want a clean line the. You need to build up a thick coat and pull the tape while it is still wet.

thank you guys

i will have my 2nd attempt tmrw

nmjaxx9 · 05-29-2012, 10:01 PM

just did a trial run with the plasti dip, actually is much darker in person, the plasti dip I got with like 4-5 coats is a very dark shade of black almost a lil glossy too. Since I didn't have enough time tonight I just removed the front plsti dipped emblem, I will be doing all the emblems sometime this week and post pics. Should be interesting how they turn out, and as mentioned masking is the most important part, something I learned on my trial run.

Has anyone tried the Plasti Dip Smoke yet?

I ended up doing my wheels and door handle and realized that the headlights and tail lights now stick out like a sore thumb. I was thinking of giving this a try but I'm not sure how it will look.

Well if it's texture is like every other kind of plasti dip, then it will probably be terrible. You don't want your headlights/tail lights to look like they have a coat of rubber on them. They look good with a smooth finish which plasti dip will never give you.
