Does anyone know how plastidip holds up in heat? I've been considering doing the headlight housing mod (http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...dlight+housing) and was toying with the notion of plastidip to get the flat finish. I'm just concerned about the possibility of the heat from the bulbs being too much for it. Any ideas?

I was think the exact same thing, considered painting the chrome surround in my '11 headlights. Post up if you find out any info please. Thanks

How many cans/amount? How long? How much?

Got the 3 gallon car kit from dipyourcar.com, but ordered 2 more gallons since its not exactly how I want it. With prep it took about 5 hours.

Only 5 hours? Wow. It looks really good! I'm going to try this!

JakePhelps · 11-04-2012, 02:06 AM

Wheels, tail lights, WRX and SUBARU on back are dipd. pretty sure im taking it off the taillight

mrchyes · 11-04-2012, 12:07 PM

black tail lights are so ugly

thebigevilfoot · 11-04-2012, 12:37 PM

I used to like blacked out tails, but now I just really the all red look. I do like tinted tails on red cars, though. Not too crazy bout the dipped tails on the wagon, I would get rid of them, it's quite a hazard as well. Everything else looks great.

After

4 coats of white Plasti Dip. I think 5 or 6 would have been better.

low-n-slow · 11-12-2012, 04:34 PM

Take em off and put a couple more coats on then.

morganfreeman · 11-14-2012, 07:17 PM

You can always report him to the admins. They like kids like him.

Edit:

Possibly going to dip my car after the fresh paint job to protect the new paint lol.
