Let's see your plasti-dipped parts!!
Hey all! We plastidipped the emblems, door pillars, and eyelids on my 8 today, and wanted to share the pics. Not so sure about keeping the eyelids though. I was also curious if you guys have dipped any parts on your car(s)? This stuff is easy to use, looks great and is VERY easy to remove. Show your stuff!

I have no pics of mine but did my a and c pillars, definitely very easy to use/remove.
Looks like your in Utah as well, check out slcrotary for local meets. Most of the people on there have 7's not a ton of people with 8's seems to get on the forums.

Why do the pillars aren't they already black?
When I first plastidipped my front emblem I had to do it twice because the first time I rushed and put way too much on. The second time I took almost 3 hours I think of going out every 20-30 minutes and spraying a very light coat on them and it worked awesome. On the front it looks like you had one drip forming which you can avoid by going super light every time it probably took 4 coats before it was even starting to turn solid black

The pillars are black, but they were etched from acid rain and looked nasty. There's the before and after pictures of the pillars, even though it not the same sides.
I didn't have any problems with doing any of it. The end results look awesome!

Looks really good. I think that I'm going to do the same to my WWP when I get home next week!

I bet it looked like *** up close. I have seen it done a few times and It's one of those things that looks good online and looks okay for minor tiny stuff but anything done on a large scale always looks like ***.

There is a thread around here that explains exactly what to do it was helpful. Make sure you have some wooden or plastic toothpicks to pick out the small parts.
I think for emblems plastidip looks very good but for most other things it might be a little weird looking. I like the textured look it gives the emblems if you spray it properly.
