I'm thinking of doing this also. Did you take the bumper off or did you just tape everything off?

EPIKsung 04-03-2013 09:45 PM

nope no need to take the bumper off. Just mask the surroundings. Don't worry if you over spray on some spots. Plasti dip peels right off :)

Yeah, I had to stare at it for a while to even notice it. Very well done; tasteful.

I was wondering when someone would do it. Looks good.
My only fear was at what point to pull the tape so it doesn't tear.
Interested in your method for applying the required multiple coats, the time interval between them, and when you finally pulled the tape.

Looks good, look a bit like EVO/LFA now..

Kelbyat07 04-05-2013 07:34 PM

How long do you think it will stay on for?

Kdej1 04-05-2013 07:36 PM

I thought about this too, but I already got my front end wrapped with clear bra..
I think it looks good though..

You should do the wheels gold, I've been thinking about doing my wheels blue or orange...though I'm about nervous about using the stuff as I have no idea what it will do to the finish.

My exact worry too! How many coats did you do and was unmasking a bitch? Meaning the plastidip coming off while taking tape off??
