Brace Yourselves.... Potential plasti dip thread

[XPTB]

Ok hear me out before you say OMG PLASTI DIP NO.

I wonder what matte black racing stripes would look like on my black cobra. I figure the easiest way to find out is lay down some plasti dip matte black and see what it looks like. Sure it'll have a slight texture to it, but at least I won't spend the money on vinyl and realize it sucks balls.

I'm planning on trying it this weekend. I'll post pics as soon as its done.

I actually did my rims cause I didn't want to paint my stockers and mess them up when I go to sell them later.

If you buy the glossifer to the last coat while its still wet itll come out more matte than flat. But I'm assuming youll be using spray cans?

I thought about plasti dipping some of the interior trim pieces in my car. Anyone tried this? I saw an entire Tahoe that was plasti dipped the other day lol.

It would have to be really smooth or it wouldn't come up easy.

OP, as long as you take your time prepping the car correctly... i think it will come out alright.

Welp, I guess so!! I wanna do it right so I'll probably spend the majority of the day Saturday prepping the rims and spary them Sunday

As far as I know they are pretty durable, I have a buddy with a 5.0 on here and he plastidipped his rims the second month he had the car, almost a year later it still looked really good

Yeah done it to a buddy of mine's GT wheels. They came out looking good and the stuff holds up very well. Just make sure its warm or it will clump when it comes out. And do atleast 6 coats so it comes off good when you want to take it off.

I plasti-dipped some pieces of the interior of my previous car. The factory interior was the 'soft touch' black finish. The pieces came out looking factory. However, it is not durable for 'high wear' areas. If it is a b-pillar or something that will not be touched often, you should be fine. If it is an arm rest or even the area around the parking brake, it will peel and look terrible.

I bought enough to do my whole car during a black friday deal from dipyourcar.com. I don't care what anyone says. I've seen the results and i live in an apartment where i need to keep my black cobra out in the driveway which is a nightmare. The plastidip will protect the finish and will look sweet matte black. If I get bored of it or move to a place with a garage, i'll just peel it off(no harm done). I'm just trying to figure out what to do with the stock satin wheels. Thinking gloss black plastidip.
