MiniPOLACK 01-07-2009 03:28 AM

MInI___Gz 01-07-2009 03:35 AM

Gilboyto 01-07-2009 09:39 AM

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

iwashmycar 01-07-2009 09:41 AM

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

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

Gilboyto 01-07-2009 10:07 AM

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

scott48 01-07-2009 10:08 AM

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 :wink:

Gilboyto 01-07-2009 10:20 AM

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 ;)

MInI___Gz 01-07-2009 11:11 AM

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 :lol::lol::lol: 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.
