anyone try the clear yet? thinking it could be like a bra...

any pics Chris?

Been working on a 2nd project today, then went out shooting. Gonna finish up the 2nd project tomorrow and take pics of both. :tup:

I've used a bunch so far. Hopefully I can refrain from going overboard with it. All the badging, the mirrors, and the front fangs have been done so far. Next weekend I'm planning on doing the rear fascia part around that bottom light thingy. I'll try and get some decent pictures taken and posted...if it would quit raining here and getting my car dirty.

Ooooh, pictures pwease! I've got a Monterey Blue as well and we really love to see how it turns out!

how long do you think you can leave plasti dip on your emblems? will it become harder to take off after lets say maybe a couple of months?

Read another post that even after 1 year it was easy to remove.

Dunno if you'd want to use it as such in consideration that it has a slight textured appearance, making it pretty visible. Perhaps for temporary coverage on long trips it would be ok.

I was planning on the same thing, see below, it has been done.

Earlier in the post it was said that the clear was not a good idea. Do you think the wheels would look better if you applied more coats? I'm thinking of doing this to my wheels. Does anyone have an idea of how long they will last?

Did mine two nights ago, missed a tiny spot but I'm very happy with this stuff. Gonna do my rear valence tomorrow :happydance:

Just in case no one has already mentioned this yet, you should mask off as much of your car as possible especially when if it's windy out. I spent 4 hours yesterday removing little specs of sprayback..

did my burgers and side view mirrors :X tomorrow ill attempt the side marker z and is there a way to do the handle while on the car? i tried taking it out and i dropped a screw lmao and i have no idea how to take off the second screw on the bottom of the driver side door.

Yeah def the power washer... they will strip paint fairly easily, especially when the jack-off is doing it from point blank range...

For the people who used plasi-dip on their rims. Did you get any wheel wobble at all at speed ? Since the plasti dip changes the weight on your rims.

I really don't think it will any effect. It weights next to nothing

where have i heard this before..... ?? :ugh2: :icon17:

I did handles with them on the car. I'm happy with the way they look.

anybody have pictures of plasti dip done to rear valence? thanks in advance

nurb- i think Alchemy had some picts up somewhere.... check his profile album. :)

Got some pictures today, even though the car is dirty. I took a close-up of the fangs to show how clean of a line I was able to get from the tape job. Just take your time when taping, and use a razor blade or something similar to score the hardened Plasti-dip when you're ready to peel the tape off, otherwise it will try to peel away from the car as well. Rear valence is next!

Looks great My_third_Z! Nice job! How much did you end up by using anyways?

When you did the handles, did you have to cut lines so it would open once dry?

I did three or four coats on all of those pieces, and that took less than one can total.

Nope. There is enough of a gap that you're good. I just took my time and did 6-7 lite coats. But just like any paint project take your time and you'll be good.

wow ive never heard of plasti sip before, it just absolutely blew my mind im so going out tomorrow and doing my emblems

That came out beautiful.

So...is there any issue in leaving this stuff on for several years? I definitely will pick this up and do my emblems, now I am thinking about doing the fangs/sidemarkers as well.

Is there any issue with washing your car the next day after you put it on?

Really nice work! Looking forward to see the rear.

It looks really nice, but I'm worried about peeling it of after time. The diamond effect black is what I'm looking forward, or orange rims. But wants to see if it will peel of even with few layers of regular paint on it.

can says dry in 4hrs, but i'd give it a good 48hrs before you do any washing. Alchemy mentioned the stuff hardened after a couple of days. :)

I washed mine the next day and didn't have any issues, but it is about 100 degrees here in Charleston, so that probably aided in curing it pretty quickly.

Just plasti-dipped my rims, front and rear valace. I've got a yellow 370z. I'll try to get pics up later tomorrow

I'm consdering trying this.:tup:

It looks like "Magic"

Im painting myself with this during Halloween bwahahhaha Midnight-black human. Hey, it just peels off and you could scare the Sh*# out of somebody haha how fun@!! haha


I hope its environmentally safe :/ lol Im going to overlook any wording on the bottle ppsshh

^ winner!

I didnt see anyone mention this but when you have those little pieces that didnt peal off perfectly inside the emblem you can just take the zip tie and kind of stuff it under the emblem and if its a bigger piece just keep stuffing it under the emblem causing it to roll and it will eventually come out and you can just rip it off. But this is for the inside part only.

the car wash by me uses some powerful water spray for the rims, anyone think that could cause a peel? i dont want chunks missing on the rims considering ill only have time to dismount and spray all 4 tires tomorrow for at least the next 6 months. and yea i gotta use a car wash cause i'm in an apartment complex that doesn't give u a hose spout.. sucks

can this be done without removing the tires?? cant i just put enough newspaper with double sided tape on the inside to prevent my brakes from getting plasti dipped?

Not sure if you're serious, but Plasti Dip is solvent based. (MEK, toluene, etc.) It helps the stuff dry faster but it'll also migrate through your skin and get stored in your bone marrow. A little is okay but I don't know about spraying your whole body. Still up to you though it'll look badass...:ugh2: Sorry to be the turd in your punchbowl. :tiphat:
