Pearl White 370z Plasti Dip Fangs

JrumMusic · 11-22-2012, 12:14 AM

So Ive been doing some research on here and many other sites about the Plasti Dip product and I decided what the heck, lets try something with my fangs.

This is my 1st time using the product so there were some spots i didnt cover well enough, but the good thing is, you can lay another coat over.

I believe I did 5-6 coats, My front bumper is tore up alot from rock chips and I thought id might as well do a few extra coats to compensate.

Check out the pics!!

If it looks as good in person as it does in the photos I'd say you've done an excellent job; congratulations.

I did my grille area down to the bottom edge on my Nismo nose last weekend. I did four progressively heavier coats.

PlastiDip is probably the best product to use for these areas as they are so susceptible to rock chips.

Something I would suggest - before you pull the masking tape off, score the edge with an exacto knife for a laser-sharp edge. It akes a very light touch and a steady hand. Just take your time.

Also, did you know this stuff touches-up great? I had a small part that I miss-masked. I shot some Dip in a cup and used a small modeler's brush to cover the bare area. The Dip flowed into the gap and leveled-out perfectly.

I will have to use that paint brush technique, I did use the razor to cut a small line when i took it all off, Overall id give my 1st time a 8.5 outta 10. I only missed one cuz on the fangs right side, but you can hardly tell!
