I PD my friends carbon fiber hood which had some bad chips and the clear coat was toast. With enough layer, the PD will fill in the chips. They became less noticeable. Have any pics so we can see how bad the hood is? Quote:

Thinking of dipping my front, rear and side WRX badges in gunmetal to match my oem wheels. Then I'd have an SWP and gunmetal theme across the whole car. No more chrome or silver. Thoughts?

I left them on. Just taped around it, leaving a gap between the tape and the badge for easy peeling. When you start peeling the gap you leave makes the plasti dip leave a nice edge. It was super easy, just takes time. I did 4 coats before calling it good enough.

DipYourCar is releasing Aluminum and Anthracite soon. One of those colors would work a lot better than their Gunmetal. The Anthracite looks like what everyone hoped the Gunmetal would have looked like. |

Anyone have pics of flat red or flat yellow on a large surface? Was thinking maybe a dark grey on the body as well but someone said something about a bluish hue earlier in the thread...hmmm

^^ think the wheels would look good if you left the gloss black part visible and the silver parts matte black

Looks damn good. I was wondering about dipping my gas tank cover too but i didn't know how it would look. I think I like it on yours.

I dont like how the hood looks, however i like that you tried it. Since its easily removed theres nothing to lose by trying stuff. I like the gas tank cover too.
