For the emblems I just put painters tape about 1/4 inch away from the emblems all the way around then I tore up magazine pages and covered most of the rear of my car from the spoiler down just to prevent over spray. I did 4 coats and let dry for roughly an hour then peel the tape and as long as your careful it takes off your 1/4 in strip and cuts off around the letter. I used a toothpick to get inside of some of the letters. It really is not hard at all!

Haven't seen anyone with this generation do anything like this with the lights yet. |

Nothing fancy, just the center console. Pretty close match to the hazard button. Easier to see the color match without the flash though.
Front lip and grill are plastidipped and holding up just fine. Last edited by Andrew025; 06-06-2012 at 03:23 AM. |

Got bored with my CF wing, so I did this. Bottom half got painted also, just not pictured here. Thoughts? |

I had this stuff on some dash pieces. It started to chunk off, but I think it was because the guy that did it didnt do enough layers.

I'm tempted to pull the trigger on dipping my 2012 WRX's wheels. Can someone comment on the durability I can expect and how much more difficult it is to keep them clean? Does the dust come off with a standard washing?

I did mine several months ago and so far so good. I took it through the car wash yesterday and the wheels held up great. I was afraid that they might be messed up but they came out without a scratch. I wouldn't clean them with a brush but soft materials and water should be fine. (If you want to see what mine look like, I posted number 71 to this forum)

Someone earlier asked to see what the fog light surrounds look like plastidipped. Seen quite a few people do this now.
Wasn't sure if dipping the side vents on WRB would also look good, since there's no other matte black trim on the side, and the pieces stick out a bit, so I left them as is. The flexible (EPDM? I can't really remember) vent grille is already black, so that's enough for me. Putting my Bayson R CS Type-1 replica lip on this weekend, so I'll see how the look goes all together. |
