i dont know if you sprayed the inside of the handle or not but mine is starting to peel, im going to see if i can fix it but if not i can always respray

i wanna try the door handle thing but idk, i just keep feeling like it wont stay on there very well.

I put a fishing weight behind the handle then did coats inside and behind the handle


You need to do a LOT of coats of the leading edge of the handle where you put most of the pressure
By a lot I mean 5+ if you DD your car and want it to stay looking good for more than a month

Stop being a PU$$ and try it! Its like 5 bucks a can. You can peel it right off if you dont enjoy the look after the 5 minutes you spent spraying it.

If you DD your car, you will want to spray in inside of the handle where your fingers go a little heavier then the others. Plus you cant see inside when the handles closed. The more the merrier inside...

Yeah I agree with the door handle thing, LOL not gonna hold up, I was gonna plasti dip the emblems but buying the pre painted ones are def better!! :happydance:

I tried the door handles and took them off soon after. It wasn't that they wouldn't last, I just hated the feel of plasti dip every time I opened my door. I like the smooth feel of the OEM door handle a lot more.

did my fangs last week. match the stillen lip nicely

Why don't you just take it out and paint them? I would rather do that but I don't go the balls to take it apart since I am pretty anal about things when I mess up haha.

The fang area is THE perfect application for PlastiDip. It's rock chip prone, and you can easily do any necessary touch-ups with a small brush and few drops of PlastiDip.

Looks great! :tup:

That's probably what I'll end up doing.

Thinking about doing a bright color with gloss coat over it for the side mirror covers. anyone have experience with removing gloss clear coat plasti dip?

I read on one of the threads that it was much harder to remove (They used a normal gloss coat). however Plastidip has a glossifier, maybe you should look into that.

If you use the plastidip glossifier it's not hard at all. If you use a regular gloss, it hardens the plasti dip and makes it a lot harder to take off. Though you could probably still get it off easier with goo gone than trying to peel it off (which is what I did).

Plastidip red handles and Z emblems
 

I decided to try out plastidip, which I think looks kinda cool, but im probably getting rid of it because of that rubbery feel.

I also added the font and rear Z emblems

figured id post this here too...

plastidip'd my ark grip. hate it or love it :ughdance:...but i love it. blends in with the black diffuser and makes it look much stealthier. especially since the exhaust is freaking loud.

That is pretty sweet actually.

I want this exhaust. "Freaking Loud"... what do you have paired with it? By itself it shouldnt be that loud.

I have a muffler delete and i don't even think that its "freaking loud"..

Considering plasti dip is a rubber/plastic based product, I'd be concerned about applying it to an exhaust. How long have you had it on there ?

i have a CNT HFC. i believe thats the key to it being loud. it made my stock nismo exhaust quite a bit louder already. my entire cabin vibrates around 3k RPM and on decel until 1k RPM. i cant even accelerate quitely and have to quickly get to 4th gear if i want to be reasonable for my neighbors lol

yes i understand that. did quite a bit of research on this actually. the g37 guys had a thread about it and plastidip will keep its properties until 200F. our mufflers even after extended driving and hard runs will nearly hit 120F. it has quite a bit of time to travel from the exhaust manifold to the muffler so it cools significantly. i drove around for a day (for an hour north, hour back home) and the muffler was hot to the touch, but not burning hot. i could safely put my palm on it so i decided to go ahead and paint it :)

Yeah the plasti dip on my wheels didn't fare so well after a session on the track :icon17:

I know it's not a Z but I did a full dip of my beater truck for fun. The gallons of sprayable dip are so easy to use. I have ZERO car painting experience and this came out awesome!

platicdip mirror side emblem and door handle
 

i did my side emblem, door handle and mirror today LOL i did in a rush i might have to re-do it. but for now it looks okay, please post ur advise ...:yum::yum:

Haha nice! I did all my emblems, side markers fangs and side mirrors yesterday. Will post pictures later on

.
Looks great!
Something not quite right about the A-pillar. Can't put my finger on it.

its cool, i did it within one hour, i thought i was gonna mess up, but well it came out pretty well. its easier than it looks. im getting my amuse kit on soon, thats why im not doing my fang and diffuser.

Do your side emblems still light up?

oh yeah. i didnt take any pic while im doing it, well. just cover up so it wont over spray, then i had around 3~4 codes, take the side away then get the thingy around the Z just poke a hold then it will come out one piece, hope that helps. sorry about my grammar...

Yeah, you can spray over the glass part thing and then peel it right off. Which the Z emblem will still stay on and the outer rim as well. Hope that helps.

Hi all,

Just got a 370z and want to plasti dip the fangs but also looking to add a 3m clear bra on the front bumper. I am wondering which one goes on first? My guess is plasti dip first but the tint shop says I need to wait at least 4weeks for the plasti dip to fully dry. It seems important to wrap the bumper ASAP if I want to protect paint.

Suggestions?

I would clear bra first that way if you want someday to get rid of fangs you can just peel it off.

You should clear bra the front bumper first.

Then once the clear dry has settled and dried completely to the car (1-2Days in the sun)

Then you can spray plasti-dip over the top

Tint shop doesnt know what they are talking about. Plasti-dip fully dries in about 20 minutes in the sun.

:iagree:

Second that :iagree:

Thanks for the advice + confirmation!

Interested to see how you taped this off. How'd you remove tap without peeling the dip?
