It looks good. I have a black 370z roadster and i would like to plasti dip and enhance my handles and emblems. My other option is to get carbon fiber handles and emblems however, the price difference is certainly favoring the plasti dip. Im going to have cf fangs, cf mirror covers, cf license plate cover, and cf rear diffuser.

Just some advice, you'll probably need a lot of coats to get the glossiness that you're looking for. Probably 4-5 coats of the glossifier minimum.

No matter what I want, it seems it will cost lots of money or lots of time. Looks like I just might do plasti dip. My curiosity is getting the better of me.

Same thing happened with me. I used the glossifier on my emblems, which is why I know you'll need a lot of it

Why not try something that is completely removable? Go for it and peel it off if it looks bad. Its $20... nuff' said.

Only reason I chose to plasti dip my car is because it's removable. I don't plan on keeping my car forever so it's a lot cheaper/easier than having to get everything repainted.

Ouch! Plasti Dip has become more popular, so demand is higher. Retailers are taking advantage of that. OR Austrailia just sucks.

Good luck. I think I'll go stock up some more cans.

Find out how much it would be to ship from the states to Australia. I can get the cans at Lowes for $6.

For anyone else looking at this thread. You should newspaper the entire front and back of your car. You would be surprised how far specs of that can go. Easy to get off, but if you're like me, just put the extra newspaper on to prevent it.
