Good to know. I dig it on your car. I think if you end up wanting to keep it; have a body shop match the caliper color and pinstripe it in paint. It'll be more legit that way. and you can have it the exact thickness and color that you want.

The plastidip looks great, I'm excited to get mine painted now. I personally dont like the wheel tape, but to each their own. Now im wondering how it would look to paint the emblems and door handels to match the car...

The tape is coming off....

The door handles would likely look good, however you wouldn't be able to use plastidip for that - as its a moving part. The Friction from the handle being used would peel it off. You'd have to actually paint them or order black ones.

I'll probably do the emblems this weekend as it only takes 2 hours to do

Thats the best part about the tape! dont like it? GONE! hahahahah

I'll be picking up a few new handles to have painted KAV this week. Painted the body color, the handles just disappear into the car. It really makes it look so much better w/o the bright silver!

Who are you having paint them? Dealers won't do it will they? Curious how long it would take an autobody shop to order KAV paint.

I'd be really interested to see them painted body color vs. black

xdeslitx has had a body shop down here in SoCal do his handles and a bumper in KAV. So i was going to find out what place he went to since they already have the paint. I think i remembered him saying that it took a week or two for the shop to get the paint from Nissan. But i think any good body shop can match the paint too.

I'm sure a dealer would paint them for your. but you'll pay extra. All they are going to do is charge you for them to outsource it. Might as well go directly to the body shop.

I don't have any links to black handles on our paint color... but here is body color matched handles.... Paint 40th door handles to match rims?

looks amazing to me.

Painted mine last year and still looking good, use a primer, your choice of black(gloss/matte), prep properly and take your time, the link provided is a good DIY too

370zmarc · 04-28-2012, 05:06 PM

Did you have any trouble removing the tape from the edges of the plastidip fangs? Like did it peel away the plastidip too? What kind of tape did you use?

Footloose301 · 04-28-2012, 05:09 PM

I did the Plasti Dip as well. Now you just need to do your headlights

LakeShow · 04-28-2012, 05:52 PM

^^nice looks very exotic. Oh yeah and the car looks good also.

bigdog1250 · 04-28-2012, 10:26 PM

Love it Footloose! Great pics, I'll definitely get the headlights done eventually. Thanks for the pics.
