Hey everyone,
I have up for grabs the chin spoiler off my 03 Cobra. Long story short, I tried refinishing it myself. I had sanded and prepped it nicely so all scuffs and scrapes were removed. I tried using Plasti-Dip for the finishing product (first time every using the stuff) but I made two mistakes (mind you I'm better with mechanics than painting).
1) Temperature was too cold so it did not finish smooth (shame on me for trying to paint when it's 40 degrees outside).
2) I applied the coats too thin.
This combination makes it more time-consuming to peel off the old Plasti-Dip. It doesn't peel off nicely as one piece, you have to peel it in little sections at a time. At the time I was frustrated and impatient so I went ahead and just bought a new one. I'm sure with some patience and maybe with the help of some sand paper, the old Plasti-Dip can properly be removed and refinished however the new owner pleases.
Trying to unload it for $100 shipped with PayPal fees included (new they are $400). This is perfect for someone who is good at refinishing things and would like to save some money.
NOTE: The peeling in the pictures is the Plasti-Dip, not scrapes or scratches!
