Definitely value everyone's opinion

but believe me pictures don't do it justice we will do a photoshoot this weekend. It honestly looks just like flat black vinyl.

However I would not recommend this over vinyl or repainting the car if you have those options; obviously those options would be better. We just like to try new things with the cars we always have new weekend projects.

Agreed. If you want to permanently paint your car, go for it. If you want vinyl to last 3/4 plus years and like the color, go for it. But if you want to change things up randomly without permanently painting or paying 2k for vinyl. Plasti dip does the job, but it isn’t a long term solution.

this weekend was probably the perfect test to see how it holds up.

Don't agree with the color change, loved the look of your car. Are you gonna be out at bokampers this week? i'd love to check it out in person.

sn0pea · 04-30-2012, 03:58 PM

Hurry! I must spray my car quick before it becomes a trend. #trendsetter

Car looks good Chris! All you need is a front lip and a decent drop. Bring the car next time to Hooters

E90Company · 04-30-2012, 04:12 PM

That's pretty epic

project6 · 04-30-2012, 04:57 PM

I can see how the creative and artistic types can capitalize on this trend. Applying different colors and all kinds of different designs.

AWESOME!

Thanks bro. I’ll rock the custom front lip, splitter and braces if you can make them. As for as the drop, it is decent. You must mean a more decent, proper drop like yours.

1sh@Crystalwhite · 04-30-2012, 06:56 PM

good job man! Looks awesome!

KC335 · 04-30-2012, 06:59 PM

good job!!

GetSomeE92 · 04-30-2012, 07:27 PM

Not going to lie. When I read the thread title I rolled my eyes and came in to see the splotchy results. When I saw the after shots I was pleasantly surprised. Came out much better than I expected it would. Kudos.

Eric335 · 04-30-2012, 08:23 PM

OP looks awesome. You have balls of steel, my friend. The last pics looks absolutely amazing. Love your rims!

That's pretty brave of you guys lol. But I like!

tomtom11 · 04-30-2012, 09:54 PM

doesnt this start to look faded or something over time? or will it stay like that as long as you dont peel it off?

Esco · 04-30-2012, 10:39 PM

Damn, that came out good! Awesome work!!

Thamer · 04-30-2012, 10:57 PM
