I love you OP for introducing me to this.

ehyoitzjeffo

do you need to prime it before the use of the plasti dip because im planning to black out my grill so do i need to prime it first before i use it?

BlackMax11

nope no need to prime u just gotta clean and dry the surfuce ur spraying really good and thats that

Think bout Plasti dippiing my Sport 19's. But it just wont look right w/o a drop. Once the weather gets better Im def doin my grill.

Sorry car is very dirty but these are my plasti dip results.
All I have to say is it looks good from a distance.

juggzernaut

that looks sweet man, have you thought about doing the rear valence? and, how well does it stick to/come off of the paint on the car?...it shouldnt hurt the paint should it?

nycmets718

Thanks. I did do the rear but i didnt take a picture because it didnt come out right. I had used painters tape and it was near impossible to hit the curves properly so i will redo when warmer temps come around.

But i also did experiment on the front with a few looks. Pretty simple to just peel it off and its like it was never there, but just in case i used Bug and Tar remover to completely clean it.

juggzernaut

Your friend uses it on his tails?? do you have any pics of that? does the light shine through??

sg1214

My plan:
Take my car to the tint shop for tails, windows and headlight tints.
Plasti Dip My grill myself, If Im feeling ambitious my wheels too!

Juggernaut23

Your front end looks exactly like mine.lol. i used vinyl and im sure i took the hard way.I may have to take a look into this plasti stuff and play around with some looks.

I've been using this stuff for awhile now.

Done several sets of wheels, emblems and grilles.

It's AMAZING.

I shot one of my powder coated G35's the other day to see how it would look.

Ended up peeling it back off and sent them to be powder coated again... lol

Heres a few pics and a little video.

Here's another set I played with.

Didnt like the look so I peeled it off but left the rivets black.












BTW, taping tires off is NOT necessary.

The paint does NOT stick to the tires, let it dry and it falls right off.

Taping with plasti dip for hard lines is not a good idea either. It really sticks to the tape.

Any questions, feel free to PM.

If anyone has done the emblem in the back I'd love to know the best way to do it. Should I use blue painters tape or what?

BlackMax11

i really wish i got a white maxima the black acces with the white maxima its sexy cant do **** wit the black car

Kmoney

thats not totally true. you just need to be creative when dealing with black cars

djdavebse

i have dark slate and i have no idea with to do with my rims

Kmoney

when it comes to rims, its difficult but the rest other things are easy

Juggernaut23

I am eager to try this stuff after seeing the removal video posted above. I took the hard way by using vinyl to test out the looks on my front end,ETC.This may be perfect if it doesnt have any ill affects from being on painted surfaces during the hot summer months?

MAXX OUT 2K10

I Lease my car so plati dip would be a awesome way to black out my sport rims but I go to the automatic car washes the ones with the conveyor belt and i dont think it would stand up

OneWhtMax

Where can I buy this stuff I'm in Brooklyn

djdavebse

i found it at home depot

Kmoney

So what do I need to use to cover the body of the door if I want to plastic dip my door handle?

mkstimulus

I'm interested in plasti-dippin the chrome trim and emblem on my black max, heres a how to thread from a tsx forum I found: http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/1st-ge...rome-trim.html

juggzernaut

i used newspaper and blue painters tape. tape slides underneath the door handle nicely.

Juggernaut23

I cant wait to try this on my e&g grill as i hate the chrome ring that goes around it.This would be perfect and non pernermant approach to doing so?

Need4MaxiSpeed

Not to be a killjoy here, but I would be concerned with the chemical compounds in the Plasti Dip interfering with the coatings on the wheels and on the trim long term. One would think that the chemicals in the Plasti Dip could in fact wear off the clear coat on the wheels making them pit prematurely as well as the chrome coating on the trim pieces.

DO I need to remove my front bumper to get the grill out?.... I can not seem to get all the clips off and can't figure it out.

mrodenberg0124

No you do not. I don't remember exactly how to do it, but i do remember we did not remove the bumper.

Max_Sleeper

I cant seem to get those bottom clips out ...

Kmoney

no you dont. there are two more clip you need to remove. its behind the black metal thing.

I can see the pic. Maybe try right-clicking --> Save As.

Max_Sleeper

Might be this computer im using at work... i dont see anything at all

MAXX OUT 2K10

When you plasti dip spray the grille do you spray the whole grille or just tape off the chrome and spray that

Kmoney

i will put it up on my album now. so check there and maybe it will show up
its up now. the first pic on my album

Max_Sleeper

Saw it in the album... how did you get them off?... I cant get my hand in there

WhitefrostMax

u dont have to but i would suggest u do for the best results.

Kmoney

it took me forever to get those off. i scratch my hands in the process but what you can also do is use a screw driver to press the clip out.

Dubl-A

I sprayed the whole thing, remember to un-clip the nissan emblem off the grille unless you're spraying it too
