Blacked out the Nismo with Plasti Dip

babbagandu · 06-10-2012, 01:37 AM

Picked up some Plasti Dip from Home Depot today and tried to black out the Z. I realize there is lots of overspray on the trunk lol, I was lazy but will clean it up tomorrow. I'm also planning to do the door handles tomorrow as well. Let me know what you think!

Looks awesome man! I did my door handles with plasti dip too, but I hated that rubber feeling every time I touched them to open the doors. I took them off after a little bit, even though they looked really good. Just a heads-up. Feel the plasti dipped stuff with your hands a couple times and make sure you can deal with that on the door handles. Made them feel cheap when I had mine plasti dipped IMO.

I mean you took the pictures with your potatoe, but nonetheless it came out pretty good.

Looks mean!! Nice man!

Definitely do the door handles and side marker lights! The texture is unusual feeling but you can do a clear coat over them to help with that.

Before I opened this thread, I thought you had Plasti-dipped your entire car!

That could work, but it also makes the plasti dip harder to take off.

Plastidip makes their own clear coat and it still peels off pretty easy! I love their products and I spray stuff constantly when I'm bored

Yeah I used it when I did my handles, but it still has that plasti dipped feeling to it. I like a smooth feeling for the handles like they are from the factory or if you get them painted. That's just me though. If you can live with plasti dip on the handles then they do look great. I did find that they tend to start peeling from the inside of the handles if you don't spray in there properly (which I apparently didn't).

Glokwork · 06-10-2012, 02:58 PM

I agree. I had mine painted to match and I'm very happy with it!

Looks clean & nasty all at the same time. Blk her out.

What did you use for the tail lights? overlay or spray?
