Decided to go ahead and try Plastidip after seeing so many guys have great success with it.


Did my grill surround along with the rear tags. I have to say, it turned out great!


I definitely recommend Plastidip to everyone here. Goes on easily, and after 3-5 coats it feels very durable and solid.


Here are a few pics for you guys -







CT before Plastidipping the grill surround:







Plastidip on the rear model tags:







The front end all covered up (I might have went a little overboard with the newspaper :D







After applying 5 coats:







The end result!








Overall, I'm very happy with the results. Definitely adds a nice aggressive accent to the car. I love how the matte color of the Plastidip matches great with the matte black wheels.


Next mods are going to be a BeatSonic Sharkfin antenna wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl along with also wrapping the rear spoiler with carbon vinyl. Stay tuned!

That looks awesome! Can't wait to do mine! :)

EDIT: I'll be spraying a coat of Plastidip Metalizer after to match my FSport tridents though.
I bet that will look awesome :D

I'm really happy with how they turned out. The plastidip is a matte black so it matches perfectly with my matte black wheels. Next mods are going to be a beatsonic sharkfin antenna and wrapping the spoiler with carbon fiber vinyl. :D

What's your technique in removing the newspaper after the coats, if you don't mind me asking. Did you go over the edges with a knife?
The Plastidip just rips itself off at the edges. It's some smart stuff, lol. :D

Hey, do you guys think it would look cheesy to wrap my incoming sharkfin antenna as well as my rear spolier with 3M carbon fiber wrap?

I received and installed a BeatSonic shark fin antenna today. Looks awesome.

I'll be washing/detailing my car tomorrow and I'll post some pics after!
