Plastidip SUCKS!!!!!

Ph0zenstone · 11-21-2012, 01:15 PM

Had some spare time today so decided to try out the plastidip on my diffuser. I ripped it off immediately after I installed it. Needless to say, it looks cheap as hell and I would advise anyone thinking about it to stop thinking about it lol. It actually looks somewhat half-decent in the photos but in real life it looks like ass.

What my diffuser NOW looks like (again)

I agree. Spray on rubber should never be put on BMW's

+1 you only plastidip things like grills and trim, not stuff like that!

JYohay · 11-21-2012, 02:10 PM

i dont really understand why you plastidipped it in the first place.
you plastidipped it the same color it already was?
if you use it in a spray gun it comes out much better.

Not sure what you mean but my diffuser is painted montego blue. I was just curious how it would look like all black.

Sorry for coming off as a douche.

Lip looks way better stock.

1slowbmw · 11-21-2012, 04:41 PM

maybe if you suck at using a spray can plastidip look bad. But if your not incompetent it comes out really smooth and looks great. My friend has a plastidipped car that look just like flat paint from a body shop

Hybrid For Life · 11-21-2012, 05:37 PM

I guess im the only one that thinks it looks better black...

Alen E90 · 11-21-2012, 05:38 PM

Clearly you're defensive about it. Says plenty.

What a douche.

Wolf 335 · 11-21-2012, 05:54 PM

I think it looks alot better all black.

How many coats did you do?

Trick is light coats but many.

And OP I like your ish, I wasn't hating.

StevenY. · 11-21-2012, 06:53 PM

In picture it looks pretty decent but I would have just left it as montego blue, looks way better. Clean car by the way!

+1 i've used plastidip many times for many items and its all about the application. As long as you do light coats and many it comes out awesome

cuiter23 · 11-21-2012, 09:58 PM

You did a good job on it, stock still looks better though

mooj9 · 11-22-2012, 09:04 AM
