DIY: How To Blackout/Plasti-dip Handles

w0rM · 06-13-2013, 09:46 PM

I did my handles and emblems back in December and it's still holding up well.

Has anyone tried to color match gunmetal grey with plasti-dip smoke? If so, any pics on how it looks?

I recently started looking on this forum for ideas and for color examples.

Give it a nice 5 minute read and you'll probably join that forum too!

I was going to ask how they hold up in the heat since I'm from Phoenix, then I saw the post about 106 degrees and saw you are actually in Scottsdale. If they hold up for you should for me. Might get on this soon, might do the rims too, totally black out my car. You go to any meet ups like Cars & Coffee? Be great to see your ride.

I am always out and about at all of Arizonas local meets. Check out this thread for more info and to find other people in AZ with Z's. We are planning a big photo soon, so you can join us!

First Arizona Thread....

Also, let me know if you need plastidip help. I am willing to give a hand or help you out on the forum

So my car is gun metal and I decided to plasti dip the door handles black. It wasn't bad but I'm trying to figure out if there are some other plasti dip colors that would go well. Was considering either the anthracite or silver metalizer over black. Maybe even gun metal or charcoal. Just want something that would maybe blend better. I love the black on the emblems in front and back but for whatever reason didn't care for it as much on my door handles.

Any suggestions?

I did mine anthracite + glossifier.

carlitos_370z · 08-28-2013, 06:07 AM

looks great bro!! your car and the handles

FairladyZ10PG · 08-28-2013, 11:24 AM

Thanks caralitos

I think anthracite looks better than black as it blends better with my color.
It almost looks factory painted.

Yes, I agree ^ Unless your wheels are black, the black handles are out of place.

There is another color which you might want to look into. Its just gunmetal spray...

ElVee · 08-28-2013, 02:18 PM

Thank you! Wow, I didn't even see the Anthracite color...

I think I might try one handle in gunmetal, and another in Anthracite or Smoke or something, see how they compare...
