Just an FYI update. In doing a little more research I have come to the conclusion that prepping any area beforehand will make the application that much stronger and last a lot longer. Some of the more recent dipyourcar videos show his special spray. I think this is where a lot of rim problems are coming from. Good luck! Happy holidays

Do they make a gray/light gray? Too lazy to google myself. Got a mag-BLK z thinking of alternating that area and rear to lighter opposite of the lighter color Zs and the black fangs. Too 'ricey'?

I dont think its ricey, and most plasti dip after dried becomes gray, thats why you have the option of spraying glossifier, if you do you get a more shiny black.

Was thinking almost a silver set of fangs in center area of the bumpers on the magnetic black car; plans are to get a light silver set of katskinz as well. I may photoshop it later to see what exactly it would look like.

Has anyone used this to do the inside of their headlights? I'm thinking of going the LED route with mine and I'm not 100% sure if I want to go black on the inside of the housings or not yet.

Here is my try at it

nmjaxx9 · 12-30-2012, 01:19 PM

Looks good, and CDepp, that looks very unique go with it if you want.

Pureswank, just curious. I'm planning on doing this to my 370 as well. How'd you get around the lock and unlock buttons on the door? Wouldn't the Plasti Dip get inside that small opening on the button? How'd you prevent it from getting inside the door handle?

I know it might be nerve wrecking if its your first time around. It was mine as well. Dont be afraid, trust me on this one. Just spray it evenly. One coat at a time. About 10 minutes between each one. First coat wont look nice because it wont cover the complete surface. But after your third and fourth coat you should have them blacked out. I even sprayed the interior side of the handle. Youll be just fine. Spray it good.
