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.

Default 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?

From Pearl White to Matte Black with Powdercoated High Gloss Black Wheels and wrapped top and door handles in high gloss black! Courtesy of WhipSkin out of NY. Check out their Facebook page for the transormation... Awesome and professional business for anyone looking for some help with their Z. I could not be happier

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

'09 sport package

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.
