why in the world would you want a flat black spoiler??? just looks like you bought it and couldnt afford to paint it and just slapped it on ala "rice civic" style.

That looks perfect, almost exactly like I would like it to look on my car. I am debating on going with vinyl or using plasti-dip but my end goal is to have the fang and rear valence looking like yours.

Thanks:tiphat:

Vinyl wont work. Ive been doing vinyl signs for about 13 years and to get that to work would be the biggest pita in the world. the plati-dip has a cool little texture to it. i personlly like it, others may disagree

thats what so cool about this stuff. it actually peels off. I plan on taking it off in the next month or so and redoing it.

i saw it on a test car for something and thought it looked cool. worst comes to worse. i paint it, dont like it and then just peel the paint off.

just the bucket. but i did get some overspray on the bumper from a spot i didnt tape good enough and it actually just rubber off with my finger. left some residue but came off with soapy water.

What do you think about the door handles?

Haven't tried the Di-Noc yet, but this looks like it would go on easier anyway :)

Still trying to avoid taking the handles off :)

I think I'm gonna give this stuff a shot too. Do they only sell it online or can I get it at home depot?

Idk about the door handles. it has a bit of texture to it and idk how that would look/feel on the handles.

I got it from home depot. On their website it has a litting of who sells Plati-dip

Got it, I think Im gonna do my rear valence later today.

Do you know how much heat the paint can handle?? Safe to use in engine bay or no?

I dont know. I can read the can after work td and let you know.

Finally found and issue. DO NOT WASH PLASTI-DIP WITH A MITT. lol washed the car a couple days ago with my green mitt and now i have will green things all over the rear valance. cant find a way to get it off yet. will post a solution when i find one

ouch... sucks is you can't really use WD40 cause it will probaby melt it off... (?) not sure, might be worth a try. :D

Bring it back!!! Ok update on this whole plati dip stuff. After almost a year of it being on the front of the car i decided to try and peel it off to make sure that it actually DOES come off. and to my surprise it came off pretty easy for the most part. anywhere where i sparyed really light was a bit of a pia but it all came off and left nothing behind.

:tup: Plasti Dip
