what do you think, yes or no?

So I plasti-dipped the front of my car the other day, then decided to see what the spoiler would look like blacked out. Don't know If I like it or not, what do you think?

Plasti-Dip's new clear. And we thought other drivers didn't see our little MINIs before!

Which parts did you plasti-dip? It looks like you did a good job. I like the black trim with the red car.

I plasti-dipped red stripes on the hood of my black R52 last year. This year I think I am going to take off the red and do wider center stripes in dark gray. Next year I may go with white.

I think the lower aero piece sticks out a bit too much and I tried to de-emphasize it by blacking it out with 3M dot-matrix black vinyl. It was impossible for me with all those curves. I wish I could pull that whole lower thing in about 1/2 inch. I kinda like your plastidip approach though.

I used the "glossifier" over the top. Helps protect it and does not fade as fast.

I dig it. But that's probably because I picked up the same part from the body shop this morning after they painted it black. Gonna put it on when the hard boost pipes arrive.
