But it's your car and you're free to do whatever you want to it.

Forgive my ignorance here but what if you did that and didn't like it? Does that stuff come off easily? If it does...and you do like it...won't it come off easily from daily wear and tear?

How about on the paint of the car? It looks like you just Helen Keller'd the 370z and nismo badges...that stuff comes off the paint of the car easily too?

Yeah it peels right off very easily. I did my door handles with it too and didn't like it. Took me like 10-20 seconds to peel it all off each handle.

Be sure to mask the surrounding areas off really well. It's easy to pull this stuff off when you have multiple layers of it, but getting the overspray off is a b1tch. I had to clay bar my car to get some of the overspray off. Be sure to put on nice thick coats so that it is easier to pull off if you need to.

I have youtube blocked at work right now, but you can look up a video of another forum member who made a video on how to plasti dip the badges on a 370Z.

For the rims, definitely take the wheels off first. Make sure to spray a lot in the area surrounding the lug nuts. I would say one can per wheel is a good amount.

I think it does not look good. At the very least powdercoat the wheels gloss black, or maybe even the original silver would be better.

To me, it looks like someone trying too hard to modify the car with Home Depot supplies.

+1. I think a little niteshade would be cool if you gave it that black chrome look. You would obviously need to take them off

For those who say it doesn't look good, what exactly do you not like? Is it the fact that it's a flat black rather than a glossy color?

Nismodean · 06-24-2012, 11:16 PM

I'm curious to know how he did the tail lights as well.

I like the part where you can't read. I mentioned why there was overspray in the pics. It was cleaned up the next day.

For those who asked, the lights were done by the previous owner. It is a film overlay but idk where it's from
