This Plasti Dip product is Awesome!

I'm thinking about redoing the whole nose with white and Pearlizer. So many chips in my nose it makes me sick when I detail. The color match is close enough

Here are some that i have found online- I havent bought the RED Dip yet. But it looks good if you have other RED Accessories.

Red nissan emblem looks pretty good, what I wonder with the door handles is how well it holds up since you're constantly touching it.

The door handles hold up fine if you do enough coats...
You need to do the inside leading edge where you put pressure when pulling the handle

On that edge you need a solid 10 coats, but only on that edge, everything else... 3 coats is fine

Handles hold up great. Just spray them properly.. I guess they can be considered "cheap". But what looks the worst is when everything else is done black and your handles are still shiny and silver..thats why i do mine.

I did the rear and front splash guards.. Thats unique and i dont think many have done it

If he didn't tell you he plasti-dipped it & posted this same picture in the "Paint/Powdercoat" section. You wouldn't know the difference..

I don't like using the extreme colors like neon pink for wheels. But black on yellow looks GREAT.

& dipping it is affordable, and it gives us something to do on the weekends without having to overspend$$$ at a body shop for relatively the same thing.

& you can peel it off.

If anything its, "Fried RICER". Much more flavor and creativity.
