I had no idea it would turn out nice. I dipped the fangs and the spoiler but did not go all the way. I left a portion "un dipped". Also did the rear diffuser.

looks good on the white, nice line in the front! Gotta pull it while its wet..... i figured that out the hard way.

Love leaving the line in the front! Very nice job.

This is a good idea , although I did multiple coats. By the time I finished my last I would think the bottom layers would dry up a bit. Next time I dip something Ill def try to just hit it hard once and remove the tape while its still wet:tup:

I didn't bother looking on there site. Just did a quick google search. I did put about four coats on it. I just think it has to do with the material I sprayed it on. It held up great though.

Finally done !!!

NEXT- Emblems.
Blacked Out Emblems with Plasti Dip - YouTube

not bad lauj :tup:

Thank you. I think I could've did better. Planning to do my diffuser next week and the emblem.

post em up, and yeah you can always peel and re-do best part of plasti dip :icon17:

really nice mod!
I tried too, and the results is awesome...

How soon do you guys think you can add plasti dip to a surface after it's been painted?

I would wait 30 days for the paint to cure, same as waxing.

Hey, I have a quick question. What is the rubber thing that u pulled it off after spraying? how do u call it? it must be a dumped question but it will be very helpful if any one can answer that :hello:

the plasti-dip? If i understand you correctly than its the actual plasti dip that dries that turns into a rubbery material. the excess which you can peel off. Or the whole thing if you mess up.

Thanks so much. haha that was a dump question. wow! It's kool how we can mess thing up. thanks

NP :tiphat::tup:

Here's how the emblems and wheels looked after 6 months.

how many coats of glossifier do you guys usually put ?

I would put on at least 3 or 4. What I did was keep putting on coats until it's as glossy as you like. Put on a coat and give it 10-15 mins to dry. If you like it, then just leave it there. If you want it more glossy, add another coat and repeat.

And how do you guys mak e a perfect line? Is there a trick to it? Any suggestion

Did you do the wheels yourself? Also, what is that handle coming out your front bumper?

Actually it is really very good. I did mine a couple months ago and my handles still.look good. The only place its starting to peel is right at the edge where you open the door. Unless you look from the back of the handle you cant see it. I had my kids opening them and it still didnt come off. Plastidip! +1

You car looks great btw. Good job and good vids. Im not good at making diy walkthroughs..i just posted an album of the process.

Did you also get overspray. I saw that you did what i did and only taped around the emblems... i had to bug and tar the car afterwards. I was scared when i first saw the overspray everywhere....lol

Plasti dipped side blinkers
 

I plasti dipped my side blinkers today on my silver z. I have black wheels, emblems, fangs, rear diffuser, roof, and tailights so I thought this would blend into the theme well and it turned out great. I peeled the plasti dip off the light section so you can see the light. "z" and outer ring are black.Attachment 52767Attachment 52768Attachment 52769http://img.tapatalk.com/aefe70e9-d7db-4238.jpg

Somehow caught the light perfect to show how good it looks

It came out pretty Good! And a Damm good Idea :tup:

Nice man!. I did mine too.

It's pretty sweet. Beats paint and it'll peel right off! Thanks!

Pull the tape while the plastidip is wet.

Learned it on
Dipyourcar.com

Dont you wait about 10-15 between each coats? By then its already dried up

Not if you want a straight clean line. Check out dipyourcar.com it's on there.

Has anyone tried Plasti-dipping the engine cover?

Really want to dip the sliver part red but nervous about the heat.

On the dip your car website no one had tried it and I found out the dip is rated up to 320 degrees.

Not sure how hot the engine cover gets.....

Hopefully someone here is braver than I am.

Well the paint that most people use to paint the engine cover is rated up to 500 degrees. Not sure whether or not that helps you though.

From my experience though, using plasti dip around hot areas is not a good idea. The heat from my brakes affected the plasti dip on my wheels in some spots and made it a lot harder to get off. I ended up having to use goo gone to dissolve it off, which actually worked very well.

It could turn out very good or very bad, but you won't know until you try. Good thing is if it turns out bad, just take off the engine cover and spray it with goo gone. Then you can just wipe off the plasti dip and have it back to stock :tup:

It gets really hot under the hood especially in the summer time. Just paint your engine cover like I did. It's so much better-looking and can withstand the heat.

X2 painted mine to match my car. :tup:

So I plastidipped my fangs this morning and it was pretty ghetto, having been my first time armed with a can of anything but Chef Boyardee. The untaping was a challenge...especially without a box cutter to clean up the edges. Here are a couple of quick shots I snapped of the first draft of this product. I just picked up a box cutter and some 70% IPA to clean up the surface better so I'll probably redo it this afternoon along with the rear diffuser, emblems, and door handles. I left the bottom strip red to imitate the GTR style bumper. I think it's okay but I might just cover it all up with the plastidip next time. Any thoughts/opinions on this look?

Don't see any pic!
Nvm now I see it, I think that looks really good actually.

Has anyone tried out the new Blaze colors on dipyourcar.com? What do you guys think about very small amounts of trim in bright green with gloss?

Looks good :tup:

Thanks! I think I like the strip so I might keep it. Hell, if I change my mind it's as easy as an hour's worth of work to do. I'm still going to redo it, though; I'm unhappy with the line on the bumper. I'll update tonight!

Feels so good to be back in the garage! :happydance:

Looks good!

I'm in to see how the handles hold up
