I just much rather avoid it because with the constant use of the door handles I feel it will be more susceptible to wear and tear. How many coats did you use? With constant opening and closing any chipping or flaking of the plasti-dip?

I have about 5-6 coats of black and 5-6 of red on each handle. No chipping or flaking. Inside of the handle is starting to come a little loose, but I plan on trimming that off and re-spraying inside of the handle really good. I had overlooked that space when I did them. I should have pics of them in this thread.

I'm really tempted to do my door handles now to match the wheels.

Anyone watching this thread plasti dipped the sport wheels.

I want to see what they look like before I consider powdercoating them

I'm worried about getting it even with all the crevices on the sport wheels

There was a local member who came to one of our meets with plasti dipped sport wheels. They looked pretty nice.

It was a blue one I think. Doing the wheels was a a lot easier than I thought, I think you should go for it. Just remember to get the inside edges of the spokes too.

I have like 2.5 cans left. Might need more?

Took me about one can to do like 5 coats on two wheels. The SP Rays are a bit bigger, but depending on how many coats you want to do that may be enough. At most you would probably need like one more can.

Worried about doing the front emblem on my Z. The front bumper has a clear bra on it and I have not found anyone that says if pastidip stains or alters the clear bra in any way.

Obviously, I will be peeling it off the clear bra but I do not want it to leave a stain.

Go to where you had the clear bra installed and see if they can give you a scrap to try out the Plasti-Dip on. I'm sure if you explain what you want to do they will understand.

You could try putting some painter's tape on the clear bra before you start spraying so that none of it goes on the clear bra itself.
