Some Plasti-dip fun with Roadster

Here are some pictures of my Z and the awesomeness which is Plasti-dip. Front + Rear bumper, emblems, and wheels.

Nice how many cans did that take you?

Splinter · 08-21-2011, 02:30 AM

maybe a silly question but did you spray the plastic dip on the inside parts of the wheels too?

I believe I used approximately 3.5 cans. This includes all you see in the pictures, but I did spray the bottom of the rear bumper twice because the first round did not come out as expected. I've also used the same cans for emblems on my 4Runner.

Not a silly question, but I did not. I figure, if when mounted on the vehicle, I can notice the difference, then I'll remove them and spray them. I don't really notice the difference until I'm up close inspecting the rim.

I think it looks nice, especially witht the black top.

i did the fangs on mine too - i like that and am going to do the rear later. i think fangs, rear, and emblems should be 2 cans.

I also wanted to add that, if any of you are going to spray your wheels, this will be a good time to adjust the parking brake. Take advantage of the wheels being removed.
