lol this cant be the official thread, theres already a couple that started years ago

HOWEVER, i love this stuff too. Works on any surface, not damaging to paint or finishes, looks good, cheap, and best of all... easily reversible!

I did a search and nothing came up. That is why its the official. Why is there always someone who ruins all the fun? Can you let a couple people post their pics up before you kill the thread?

That plasti dip job really turned out good. I was curious how you taped it off?

One does not contribute to an "official" thread when it has been rendered unofficial.

I found this video by dipyourcar.com. This video answers frequently asked questions and squashes many of the myths about plasti dip.

The matte black definitely toughens up the front end nicely.

Did you just peel the access dip off? How did you get just the badge dipped?

The dip makes it look so much more aggressive now instead of the chrome. Same goes for my wheels. They were gold. I thought they were cool until i plasti dipped them black. They make the car look a little more menacing.
