anybody use the plastidip on the door handles?

Yep holds up just fine and the texture is great. Just look through the pages on here as others have done it

did it on my tail light rings, gas cap, as well as the side repeaters. didn't do the front lights... don't think i would like it haha.

Front tail lights?!

haha whops

plastic dip +1

Nice looking, is that PS or PW?

Since this is a blackout thread I figure I'll throw this out there and perhaps someone will know. Has anyone tried to blackout the reflectors on the wheel arches? Or know where I can buy them pre-tinted as i don't want to use outmotoring's tint kit. I would prefer to just swap them out if that's the case. I was thinking of spray tint?

do you have a link for vinalstyles????

Sure thing. http://www.lylesvinylstyles.net/

He's a vendor here so you can also find him on that link off the main page. He did some work for me on Saturday and I think it looks great. You can see it here:

Just want to throw this out there... don't push down on the front grill to remove it. There's tabs that you can see and reach by going in from the side of the honeycomb. squeeze the tabs and pull out.

Hey man, I was there saturday morning with the DS/B.

Yeah your car looks tight. I had him tint my scuttle lenses after I saw how good they looked on yours!

hey i got an AB/B mini and love how that looks, would you say it looks glossy or more flat? i would love to do this, this stuff is magic. thanks!

ok, so i went out to home depot and got the plasti-dip. Took some photos of in progress work. Pictures show second coat just applied. I'm loving the way this is looking.

Great! Post pics as soon as you get it back on the car!

ok, well im letting the headlight rings dry and decided to throw on 3 coats of the plasti-dip to my tail light rings. one thing i noticed, the tails look much glossier than the headlight rings...hmm,well anyways, i have a gloss black vinyl setup in the front from lyle, so the tails look like they will match perfectly. Thanks to chinq for the how to on the removal of everything, verrrry helpful.

Heres some tail pics.

Ok, so I finished my Taillight rings last night. 4 coats of plasti-dip with 30 min dry time in between and then I let them sit under my industrial fan for 3 hours to ensure dryness. Yes, I am OCD. Anyways, it came out great, identical to the vinyl I have in the front . Sorry, my MINI is a bit messy, but here are some pictures.

does anyone know if the beltline can be removed?
btw everyones results look great!!! im gonna be doing this this weekend
thanks.

Yeah I wanted to take mine apart and actually paint the metal, but most of it wont come off, at least, without breaking it. The part that runs along the hood and quarter panels just pulls right off...then you just pop the metal out the rubber. The rest of the car is what makes it undoable (to a large degree). I spoke with eddie and he told me the pieces around the side and rear side windows and boot is glued together, plus clips that hold the whole assembly to the car that most definitely break. He even spoke with a dealer and they said they always end up breaking them if they are trying to remove it.

So the blackout tape is our only option unfortunately

and this blackout tape....is that the vinyl wrap from the website or
is it some other kind of tape....
just curious so that im prepared for my lil project this weekend...
thanks for the help.

Hey dtsoccer nice lookin black out there- where in CT are you? Im from MA, but im at school at UConn- storrs right now, living in mansfield. you anywhere close?

nah i was at UConn @ Storrs, but I transferred to Stamford branch. I played on the soccer team up there, decided to leave to play pro, but I'm finishing at Stamford. Anyways, I might be goin up this weekend. Let me know if you'll be around. I'll keep in touch.

Well you can find it at outmotoring.com and it is kind of an electrical tape type texture (except it seems like they have come out with a new one that looks rubbery to match that surrounding rubber...I have the older one). It is just the right width so it goes on pretty easy. Only like $12

yeah, i just ordered that from outmotoring.com. Looks good, will probably get it this weekend or next week. I'll post pics.

I also just ordered the Lamin-x Taillight and Rear Fog Tint / Fog Light Tint.

Joey Mod in near future...
