First time using PlastiDip, I painted my door handles and I'm actually very pleased with how they turned out. I used 4 coats and we'll see how long it lasts.

I would have put at least 6. After a while of opening the door, it's going to start to peel slowly.

Unless you got it really good on the inner part of the actual handle

Dom's car is so nice even though I'm not a huge fan of stance.

JC-Nismo · 04-12-2015, 11:03 AM

We'll see how it holds up and the next time i'll do more coats if the 4 i did deems insufficient.

Nothing like pissing off a Challenger because you can get through traffic quicker.

Been watching it rain, AGAIN!!!! Poor car is a mess. Weather for today looked clear and I had great plans of cleaning. Needless to say it appears the weather folks get paid again for getting it wrong. Been needing a wash job for over a month. It won't stop raining long enough to get it done. Next weekend, I will wash it in the rain. I have had enough.

yah, just rinse the grit off in the rain with a hose and do the rest inside your garage using waterless wash.

if that's a weekend car, make sure to blow a fan at the car for several hours... run a dehumidifier if you have one too.

Daily driver, I will wash it and dry it off under the carport.

Put a little projector LED behind the door panel facing the empty red reflector and 2 tiny little LEDs under the door and wired it to the door sill lights and grounded at the door pin (so it goes on and off when the door is open and closed [did both doors])
