welll......i ordered 2 cans of the stuff, but due to free shipping it takes forever to get here....and i happen to be in Home Depot...and to my suprise, they actually stacked spray canned Plasti-dip...and to my surprise, wayyy cheaper then online stores..well any way, back to the point....i painted my NON S gills grill and modified it a bit, headlamps surrounds, tail lamps surrounds, and surprise....mean look taillights....ill post photos tomorrow..meanwhile, plasti-dip crew..post your PHOTOS ///let it be a starter topic

 

 

This plasti-dip crap is getting out of hand.

 

Blacked out mini's are getting out of hand. Stop blacking out your mini's people, its been done to death. Time for a new trend.

 

I love the stuff man i was going to make a thread too well i did my hl & tl rings today and i love how they look !!!! This stuff ROCKS...i had some questions .

-Should i do my trunk chrome peace (on top o the #s ) also?, idk if it will look good .

-Where else should i PlastiZ? ( i know i am going to do my rims but in a few months)

-Dose the my MINI still look great wit the mirror cap chrome or should i do them too?( has anyone done them?)

-Doesn't it look HOOOTTTTT!!!!!!??????

Goo0!



^^didnt want my company # on + cut and sprayed spare antenna ^^


DONEEE!!!!---






PS---i was in between taping my bedline.

 

looks really good, you should try the joey mod, and I would say hit the tail hand thing, and the mirror caps

 

main thing why i love plasti-dip is....... its soooo easy to get it of your hands, or get it off whatever you didnt mean to have it on , but somehow got there lol....im just curious how itll hang on vs. flying debris on the highway....

 

its been dooing perfect for the 25 miles i put on it today

 

Ive been looking at this. Did you guys do any sanding to the chrome before painting?

 

nope no need for it just whip clean and spray on (3 coats) i am soo happy with this stuff i am going to go and continue NOWW.

 

WOw and the plasti-dip even sticks to chrome surface that easily? You have my convinced.....!

 

and you can peel it off when you want chrome again..

 

...and then spray it on if you dont...its soo fun, i dont mind doing either

as far as my photos, its a crappy weather today at NYC, so i have to postpone the shoot till further notice...

 

Check! Home depot is on my list of things to do! My car is only 2 weeks old, but I have the bug already

 

yeah i'll probably re-spray with plastidip cuz the paint on the headlight surrounds has gotten little chips from debris.

 

It would truly get out of hand if it came in pink... Until then, it's still under control

 

It isnt out of hand....go visit VWvortex and see the nutsy things they do! :D

 

RoFLL!!
mini should start making it in mini colors lol

 

Pink plasti-dip would make me so so so happy.

That's the only thing that I asked for for Christmas... and didn't get!!

Yeah I saw that, hence my email to plasti-dip inquiring about whether or not I could order some since only basic colours are available in stores...

Here's my response:

"Christina,

There would be a custom colour charge (prox $700) to order the pink colour featured on our website. This is not including the cost of the actual Plastidip itself.

Pls advs.


Thanks,

Ummmm, WOW. Thats insane. Maybe you should just have them professionally painted to match your car and then get them invisi-shielded!

 

Yeah I guess that's what I'll have to do. Kinda defeats to purpose of riding this plasti-dip bandwagon and having all the fun of disguising the chrome one day, peeling it off the expose the chrome another day and doing it all over again :P Ok just kidding on that part, but the DIY bit sounded fun and the cost is attractive (for the basic colours at least :P).

If anyone happens to find pink plasti-dip in any local stores, PM me asap and we'll arrange something

 

Its not very hard to get or find... idk if they have it where u live but i wanted a areo grille with the trim for xmas and i got it and my pasti dip was a gift for myself lol

 

Well done VW's > Stock MINI's with random, mismatched parts sprayed black on bright colored body colors.

You'll find that even on the vortex, when you find an impressive good looking car, it's not one of the cars that just plasti-dips all the parts despite how it flows with the car.
