There's a lot of people who disagree with me, but I'm of the opinion that you should either do it right or not at all. Plastidip is the aesthetic equivalent of the washer mod.


Paint your rims KAV and your door handles Gun Metallic. The only thing I would use PlastiDip for is for blacking out the fangs. Since that area is a stone chip magnet, the elasticity of PlastiDip makes it the perfect coating. It can be easily touched-up - it is way more self-leveling than paint - and when it finally looks bad, peel it off and reapply.
