What part shall I Plasti Dip?
Ok I ordered a can of Plasti Dip (SPRAY CANS AEROSOL 400ML FLEXIBLE) to see what all the fuss is about and why soo many people hate/love it...
Now that it's here I don't know what part of my car to test it on, Already have the gloss black kidney grill... hmm my MV3 stock wheels? any ideas would be appreciated... |

I don't think there is much else to plasti-dip except the wheels.

window trim if your's is aluminium.
Since my car is AW, I even got my side reflectors black - gives it a very aggressive look. Also, 335i emblem at the back is another option. Good luck !!! |

I just got done plasti-dipping my OEM 18s because the clearcoat was coming off. I use these wheels ONLY as my winter setup. Totally changed the look of the car though.

It doesn't have to be the car. I used some parts of my motorcycle.

I peeled all of my plastidip off after 1 month, texture worsened and the color aged to a dark brownish green color. Save yourself some time and just sell it to a guy with VTAK and a huge spoiler.

Sorry after looking in my gallery, I never took any really close up pictures of it.
I can only describe: - the matte black color lightened up as time went by, it looked dirty even after a good wash - the texture, was never good to begin with, became rougher and rougher - wash mit felt like crap over them Here is a link to a poll I made with pictures, you can see how light the matte black became: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=871355 |
