resized it for you braddah

[swcc50]

should have the prep kit, and sprayer handle friday, so I will do the new paint job when I get back into town after the weekend

So once the dip is on, how does washing it affect it? How long does the dip last?

My thread in the cosmetic section isn't getting any love (hungry for feedback lol), so I'll just leave these here:




Heres some awkward angles of the trunk/rear fender stripe.

Bueno....





No bueno....




I'm leaning towards no bueno...no matter what I have to redo the drivers side....tried to go too quick to avoid peeling the plasticoat but got some runs in the process.

no bueno

Agreed..peeled it off earlier today. Did the rear diffuser and polished trim pieces instead...all black and white now but clean.

Decided to share my little experimentation with it Cost me ~$5 for materials to do this haha. People might think I am crazy but let me know what you think!

Looks good! What type of tape did you use?

its definitely attention grabbing, but the lines are clean and overall it appears to be a well executed job. the different color pattern, imo, draws out the fact that you need a little drop ha. i'd also consider dark wheels... but overall not too shabby man. glad you're happy with your ride!

[Rowdy]

Love the OPs black! Also the white on white looks good.. just cant tell if my eyes are deceiving me and the forward line is off from the rest? Makes me think I should try it out too

[swcc50]

I angled it more because it is a M and wanted to angled look

[Greenkirby21]

FYI plasti dip is 20% off right now at dipyourcar.com. If I wasn't a noob and had more money I wouldn't mind doing a matte green 1er haha.

Tempted to do my wheels. 40 bucks isn't a bad price considering they charge 500 to paint/powdercoat them.

Not sure if I should do it or not >_>. My car has silver wheels and I want the dark black gunmetal look, but it already has that when my car is dirty xD

this guy did two tone on his porsche wheels and they turned out quite nice!

Haha thanks. I definitely like them too, they give it that little bit of added flair on the hood.

I'm considering adding a wedge kinda on top/behind the powerdome

I know this thread is a bit old, but I came in here not expecting much, and what you did looks amazing!
