Alright guys, so I ordered a can of the Clear Plasti-Dip from dipyourcar.com, and used it on the front and rear Nissan emblems in order to give them a brushed look to be closer inline with the 370z emblem, wheels, and handles. I think they turned out pretty good. Pardon for the crappy phone pics. I can take better ones if requested.

They don't quite have the same "sheen" as the rest of the metal, but I think its better than the chrome. I'm thinking about putting a coat of plasti dip glossifier to see if I can perfect the desired effect. In the meantime I'm going to try this on the stock chrome exhaust tips when I have time.

Also, a couple notes if you try this yourself:
This appears to be slightly different from the black plasti dip, in that if you apply to much at a time little white bubbles will appear and it will dry like that. Looks like crap. Be sure to do very light coats. I used the videos from dipyourcar.com, and did the light first coat, four times, and I think they turned out great. I discovered this way after attempting and failing twice on the front and once on the rear. The third and second times were a charm. :tiphat:

hehe maybe cuz it's a phone pic but I can't see too much of a difference :icon17:

I mean there's a small noticeable one.. but seems like a lot of effort for it :tiphat:

Take higher res pics maybe? :p

dipyourcar.com, who would of thought!

Checked out the sight, it looks like they have plstidip smoke. I think I am going to order some and try to lightly smoke my headlightas and tail lights, if it doesnt look good then I will just peel it off.

I'll save you a few bucks. Looks horrible on the lightss. Its more of a gray smoke as opposed to a black smoke.

You can't see the difference? Maybe I'm just a stickler for the details? :confused: picture of stock emblem

Nice. Anyone tried the roof with glossifier? I have my emblems plasti dipped

Looks like the clear plasti dip worked well :tup:

Tried it and it was a complete fail. Don't waste your time trying :tiphat:

Thanks for that. I think I will pass.

That's an obvious difference! I like it! You basically took the glitteriness out! Looks tight. :)

Yeah I figured it wouldn't work. Thanks for the reassurance!

No problem. I've already wasted my time on it, don't want anyone else to do the same.

:(
