Another Plasti Dip creation

denfion · 01-12-2013, 01:25 AM

Just get bored about the exterior of 1er so decided to use the existing can of plasti dip to spray part of the front bumper. But for some reason after I have sprayed it, I simply can't tell whether it is looking good or not

(you know the strange moment that you can't answer yourself).

So what do you guy think? Should I leave it or back to original.....

Actually was thinking about doing the same exact thing to my car just can't find any plasti dip where I live. You just confirmed it for me. I love it. Keep it. Kinda appears you have splitters.

i wonder how it would look if you had darkened the middle and left the edges alone instead

This was my original thought !! but I found out that it is very hard to do the middle one because I can't find the edge as the seperation point (if you know what I'm trying to say).

i actually really like it.

I have been thinking of doing this with some cf foil wrap. Looks good and different.

I think it looks great..

FIRST1 · 01-14-2013, 12:57 AM

Looks fabulous ,

Ammonia · 01-14-2013, 07:59 PM

Looks really good! Nice!

Jmanscotch · 01-14-2013, 08:26 PM

Confirming it's a keep! How do you feel about doing ///M in appropriate colors on the driver side one (minus the "M")?

frenziedpace · 01-14-2013, 09:50 PM

Looks good. Very subtle.

Rukuss · 01-14-2013, 09:54 PM

I like it

ShocknAwe · 01-14-2013, 11:33 PM

Looks great, makes me wish I had a color other than black.

Xios135 · 01-15-2013, 08:22 AM

Is there a DIY for this? Not really a DIY... but where to buy the paint and what exact color to buy? I wanna do it on my grill as well

Paint codes: (Credit to josiahg52, M5board.com)

Pantone Process Blue (PMS 859)
Pantone Violet (PMS 268)
Pantone Warm Red (PMS 836)

Some people choose a dark blue like Reflex Blue (PMS 852) to replace Violet 268 and a darker red.
BMW (approximate and/or accepted equivalent) colors:

Light Blue GLASURIT-BMW 5002
Blue Violet GLASURIT-BMW 4000
Red GLASURIT-BMW 353

Sounds interesting, maybe putting it down on the driver side air duct...

Something like this?

I imagine this could be done much cheaper at a local vinyl sign shop.

eric@helix · 01-15-2013, 11:52 AM

I saw that on a white car posted here recently. I think yours works better--it's more subtle. Here's my car with a similar idea: wrapped matte grey, leaving the black spoilers.

Exactly what I had in mind.

$45 for the correct size (I believe) from Bimmian http://www.bimmian.com/M-Colored-Str...r-E88-1-Series

For that price it'd probably be silly to do it with plasti-dip, if those colors even existed within their options.

ShocknAwe · 01-15-2013, 07:23 PM

Absolutely silly to do with plastidip. You've got me on a mission, gonna see if I can get some made up local in M colors and german flag colors.
