I have some mat black vinyl, wondering if this would also work? I guess the pain of applying it bubble / crease free would be PITA.

Yeah, thats how it played out for me.

I used to do little touches of matte bumper and trim paint with good results. Kinda got sold on 'dip in about 2011 on a G I had. I blackedout a chrome grill and it still looks really good after 3.5 years of hard driving including winter snow and road salt.

BTW, what color is your Z?

Good Luck.

I like the magma a lot. Some black up front should look great.

Plasti Dip
 
I have Plasti-Dipped my door handles, fangs, badges and wheels. Now considering dipping the entire car from the stock pearl white to the matte black...

Anyone have any input - pros or cons on having entire Z dipped?

How did you just do the "Z" part?

You can tape it off and trim the tape with a razor or X-Acto.

I tried and failed at midnight LOL. I just pulled it all off. It didnt look to bad on a Satin Z badge, just the Z letter being black.

Wheels dipped, custom 'carbon' gray by DipFormula (find on Instagram).
Hudson Valley authorized dip retailer, custom colors is his specialty.

I didn't want black like every other car. They look amazing in person.
