Here is my buddy's that I dipped over the summer. He now has black mirrors and headlight buckets too

 

What size wheels are those? And is the stripe on the side plasti dip also?

They are 18s and the stripe is a vinyl

 

I plasti dipped my grille and head light buckets. I also painted some GS stripes on which I liked.

Before, Too much red.



One bucket dipped and dipped grille and I painted the bowtie gloss. I dipped the other bucket but dont have any pictures.

Came out a bit too texturized so I peeled the buckets off. I gotta get them painted semi-gloss.

GS Stripes

I ran those for a couple of weeks and loved them. However I felt it didn't match the theme of the car, yet.

 

Hey just started my car with cans yesterday it's lookin good I have the front, the back, and one side done. I had to stop to fabricate a grill but will finish tomorrow I'll try to get pics on here but idk how to put them on here

 

Thanks that what i was looking for, good reason to plastidip for now

 

Looked sharp man. But I also tell people to use the stuff to see if they like it black

 

Double opps :S

 

Got anymore pictures?

 

Just finished today but how do u upload pictures

 

finally got it any ideas of how to make it better/Users/Rich/Desktop/1175474_10152134661702564_144756323_n.jpg

 

 

let me know if the upload worked

 

It worked

 

What do you guys think? I mean its nt the greatest but it looks a lot better than it did before

 

still needs a paint job??
. I just don't think anything else will help but it is a valiant effort

 

Its nothing much, but I re did my wheels with it. I think it looks nice

 

About how many cans of plasti-dip would be needed to do head light buckets and a hood?

 

1. I did all 4 of my 17" wheels with 1 can.

 

Looks amazing. Cleanest SC I've ever seen.

 

Cool, doesn't take quite as much as I had thought. Thanks for the heads up!

 

do you guys just use blue painters tape on areas you don't want hit?

 

Plasti dipping these ugly wheels today.

 

Nice paint job on the car

 

Thanks man

 

Thats what I did, but you can always peel it back off it you get it somewhere you don't want it

 

yes thats what i used only issue is that you have to be carful peeling away as it can lift up the plasti dip

my way around that was i waited to paitn the mask edges last that way i peeled the masking tape off and was left with a clean line

theres prop other ways to go about it but thats what i did

 

pulled off the masking tape when it was still wet. best way

 

Done

 

I like it. Very mad max ish.

 

Was body colored before, now Plasti-Dipped. I think I did 3 fairly heavy coats. Held up darn well after 3 weeks and lots of highway driving.

 

Very nice

 

I finally got a chance to get on a laptop to post these pics.Decided to just do wheels

i did my rims, skirts, and hood. it holds up great. i recommend using glossifier if you do it though. it gives it depth and allows it to hold up better.

 

I didn't plasti dip anything on the Camaro, but I did my chrome wheels on the Sierra last weekend. I'm pretty happy with the look. Not sure how long I will leave it on though. I put about 6-7 coats on so it should be rather easy to remove.

 

Just spent 60+ hours prepping my car for paint. Finally laid it down tonight. thread and pics of to my knowledge first Carbon Flash Metallic thirdgen to follow later this week....

DONT DO WHAT I DID WITH PLASTIDIP....I primed parts of my car 4 years ago and sanded it all down to get a cheap paint job...real basic scuff prep job....never paint it PLASSTIDIPPED THE WHOLE CAR with spray cans back before those damn kits were available to do it right.

not only did i not use enough plastidip it was over scuffed paint/primer....IT WOULD NOT COME OFF...took the car to be painted by some hillbillies....well after fighting with it for so long they just painted over it and screwed the paint all up so i took it back and decided to do it myself...

60+ hours later hillbilly paint job is off the car, plasti dip is finally removed, and new primer and paint has been laid down on 90% of the car....

USE PLASTI DIP over already painted vehicles and lay down ALOT dont skimp on it....just sayin

 

heres a few pics of the car when it was plastidipped black

 

and a teaser of a real paint job.

 

Must be the same stuff that they wrapped the BMW in the movie Taxi with Queen Latifa and Jimmy Fallon.

 

I bought some "anthracite" plastidip from the dipyourcar.com people... It's actually got metal flake in it. Pretty neat. Was hoping itw as a little closer to competition gray, but it's hard to tell, maybe it is about the same.







Of course, the hood and headlight buckets are plastidip too so you can see how this color compares to the regular black stuff.

 

I'm anxious to see how it looks on your car - I have a set of those wheels waiting for tires (and a red '92) and have been contemplating plasti-dipping them.

Got any pictures of your car with the stock color SS wheels on?

 

Nope! None! I was going for a look somewhat like BIG_MODS' car. I actually just love competition gray, and I figured it would look good on ZR1's. I think it will look a bit like that when it's done, but it'll be a few months as I've got christmas expenses and $1000 worth of rubber and spacers to invest in before they can go on the car.

 

I LOVE that anthracite grey! I'm going to do my 88 in a anthracite gray/ black combo.

 

I'm in the same boat as you, buddy. My ZR-1 wheels are just sitting in the corner of my garage. I didn't plan on getting them, but a guy put them on Craigslist for $100 for all 4 and, well, you know, you don't pass up deals like that.

 

I was actually going to go Bronze, just because it's not a very common sight on domestic muscle cars.



You see it a lot on imports (european or asian)... and I think it looks great. It was a common color combo for Ferrari during the 60s and 70's too.



And plastidip sells "vintage gold". I think it's a little too yellow and not enough bronze... but it MIGHT look REALLY good. I dont know. I got a lot of "yeurgh..... no" responses, but I think if they saw it on teh car they'd be impressed.

Vintage gold plastidip:


I went with anthracite because competition gray was my first love.

 

I got a request for this picture... I think it'll look really, really nice now.

 

 

Whats dipped on this?

 

Nothing. Those wheels are available in that color. It was just used previously as an example.
