A little secret I learned to give it that look is to put the can in pitcher of hot water before you start spraying. (or just leave it out in the sun). I have found that if you get the can warm it spays much more evenly and less blotchy.

It comes off just fine it was my first time using it and the only mistake I had was I waited till it was dry to pull off the tape and it started peeling off a little more than I wanted. I then just made sure to trace it all with a exacto knife.

mitco is going on my iggylist now...

I had to google with an iggylist was. :happydance:

Thanx Mitco39 for the help.

:icon18: hahaha!

kenchan ur funny!

Do you mean "brake" light? :icon17:

Plasti Dip has some great uses; it's perfect for scratch-prone areas like the front fangs and the rear valance. I used it on the front of my car. I've had to touch it up several times since the first application for chips.

As a "place holder" to see how something else would look like, it's a great idea too. However, it just doesn't hold up like real paint.

Yeah, I'm sure there are a bunch of people who will counter that it's just fine, but I have a higher standard for the appearance of my car. I've looked at friends' cars who swear it's the greatest thing for rims and other high visibility areas, but if you look close, it just doesn't hold up. Again, I'm sure there are tons of people who will argue otherwise. I respectfully disagree with them.

In the end, it's your car and your choice. If you are going to go on the internet and ask for opinions, expect a wide range of responses.

The thing with plastidip is that the end result will vary by person. I have seen some very clean executions and a lot of "my best try" type results.

I fell into the later. I plastidipped my rear valence just to see if I liked the contrast enough to save up for a Fujimura rear diffuser.

I spent waay too much time on it. My results were "ok" and it lasted for about 6 months before it started to fade/peel in some places.

I took it off a few weekends ago and am back to looking at the fujimura.

Bottom line - It is not so fool proof that you are guaranteed the higher end results like you see in some pics. Knowing how to use the tool and having the best conditions (temp/humidity etc) will bring better results. If you can't control all these variables you get "meh" results.

How much do they go for?

Lookin good! OP i plasti dipped my diffuser and my emblems and if done right it looks good! I've never done my spoiler so idk how you would approach that.


-M-

check japanparts.com

they aren't cheap but they are a nice piece, fit correctly, and worth it.
use vhb. search which tape we used. there's a thread on the fujimura.

i agree.. i painted a black cord white to use in the interior of my house.
looks great. they also are good to use for tool handles (original use).

i made sure to spray it by my neighbor i dont like's house. :icon17: overspray is a sticky mess. :mad:

Thanks. I originally painted my spoiler because I had my hatch open while I was doing the interior and without know my garage door was rubbing on my hatch every time I opened and closed the garage. It looked like this before
