So are all of the driveways in Arizona unpaved lol I feel like that would suck if it ever rained! But the Z looks awesome! I love the silver and black combination! It's funny how we pay for color matched splash guards and then paint them black again lol but it all matches well!

Thanks for the compliments! ![]() If anything it will protect my splash guards. I was actually starting to get black that trailed onto my rear bumper above the exhaust. The plasti dip protects that entirely & I can remove it whenever. |

Can this stuff be used on wheel wells? Like the black plastic? If you took them out and sprayed them with a few coats? Seems like this would keep them protected and also
keeps the ugly faded look from happening. |

If you don't feel like using plasti-dip.. you can probably go get mothers "Back To Black" and clean the inside of your wheel well? |

Plasti-dip is great for some things, but should not be overused in all places. Excellent for emblems, valences, and some small parts with smooth curfaces. I don't think it's good for wheels unless it's a very flat, big surface. Imagine removing it from a multi-spoke wheel or mesh? lol you'll be there for hours

I am thinking about plasti-diping my emblems on my Yellow Z. Anyone have pictures of this done? I am mainly looking at just doing the 370z badge on the back and leaving the rest. Any thoughts?

Great job Nick; I like the look of your car. One thing though, it looks like from the video that the edges around the fang area didn't end up with a clean edge.
That's where I am struggling with trying to paint that area. I've watched all the videos and undertand why it breaks away clean on emblems, lights, door handles, and anything with a defined edge. However, there is no defined edge for the fang area,so you have to rely on a clean tape edge. I've yet to hear how you can remove the tape cleanly after applying four coats without the edges being ragged if you are going to let it dry between coats like is recommended. I can't see any other way for getting a clean edge that to run an exacto knife or razor blade along the tape line before removing the tape. Am I missing something here, or just over-analyzing the whole thing?
