PlastiDip Ideas
 
I thought fellow PlatiDippers needed a thread dedicated to our creativity. Post pics of any projects you have tried, fails too, so the rest of us can learn from your mad genius.

I just got the Pearlizer so I thought I'd try to "hide" my nose badge on my Pearl Z.

2 coats White, 3 coats Pearl, 1 coat Gloss:

Blue Blaze on the side turn signal. I did a horrible job with this as you can see, I will revisit in the Spring when it warms up.

I was gonna do the white on the emblems. Now I'm not sure if I'm feeling it. Might just try to see in person. I did try to do my nismo wheel logos with no luck. I couldn't even cut the plasti dip with an exacto knife.

Did the grille area and spoiler edge to hide some rock chips. I'm very happy with the result.

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 that I don't think it would be too noticable.

meh on the black door handles. makes the car look cheap, imo.

maybe on a black car, but i would use real paint instead.

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

i just did my door handles on my nismo, they look amazing and no problems so far

im planning on plasti dipping over the car with the gun metallic plastidip and leave it

What I need is a heated garage. The day I decided to do this is was supposed to be 55 and sunny. Halfway through rain came so I wasn't able to really take my time.

I HATE WINTER, now that I am a Z owner.
