Remember when the 90's had neons? Now we have plasti-dip.

 

If we are doing the 90s then let's have some 15x11 wire wheels. Rockin' some crazy negative offset. I can hook you up with Nelly. He has some leftovers.

 

90s == green day, offspring, and bush for me. oh and some crazy *** **** with OJ, *** on a dress, and some silly *** spat in the persian gulf.

Did I miss anything?

 

Don't hate the Dip. Hate the dippers.

There are many valid uses for Dip on our cars. Good way to bring the black back on our B Pillars and remove chrome trimmings on other cars.

 

opinions on doing the exaust shrouds in black?

mine are looking ashy

 

^ I doubt it will be able to handle the heat.

 

I have never seen Platisdip in person that looks good. Never.

 

Then stay out of a plasti dip thread if you don't like it.

Dozens of threads here show cars that look VERY good, and a lot of them are pictures with decent cameras. Including a handful of Rx8s.

Voting Open for September Dip of the Month

Considering each of those jobs were less than $500.. i'd say they all look great.. even if the dip only last a few months.

The plastidip will not damage anything even if it melts on them, including the headlights so I dunno where you're getting that idea from. The headlights do not get even remotely hot enough to damage it in the first place. Also, plastidip holds up fine to the elements. I've had a motorcycle that is not garage kept dipped for nearly 8 months and all the plastidip looks brand new still. I've had plastidip melt on my bikes exhaust header and once the dip drys it peels right off.. no damage left behind.

Same for the exhaust shrouds, exhaust tips, and the engine cover. Several people have dipped the brake calipers without it melting off, but it wont work for people who are aggressive drivers.

The only time plastidip will damage a car is if the paint has not cured, then it will haze the clear coat a bit.

For small parts.. rattle cans are fine.. if you do something like a hood, or entire car.. don't do rattle cans unless you know what you're doing and are good with one.

 

My intention was only to do the emblems...ended up with matte black wheels.

 

they have some new colors!

pink, purple, blue, orange

 

Not sure about the blue wheels...but to each, their own.

 

The blue does not look good dude. You can see around the edges where the color is really light. As long as your happy with it though. At least it peels off.

 

I've done my rims, exhaust shrouds, all emblems. It's been on for about 3 months and still looks brand new. I love plasti dip.

 

It doesnt melt off around the exhaust shrouds?

 

^Nope, I've had my done for 8 months now.

 

Did my emblems today on my R3 and they turned out great. I'm curious as to how they'll hold up but they really turned out quite good

 

Nope. I've had it for awhile now. Bout to do my outside pillars and front lip today

 

Anyone plasti dip their entire car? Lol

 

www.dipyourcar.com/
Yep lots of people.

 

Sorry let me rephrase my question. Anyone plast dip their 8's?

 

No, only an idiot would plastidip a whole car. It looks like a cool idea on the internet but looks like **** in person.

 

iirc slvr knows someone that dipped their fd

 

Poor FD.

 

Pretty terrible wheels for sure, plastiderp job looks better than most vinyls and is easier to remove than vinyl. You act like it's permanent.
