Plasti-Dipped lower front bumper
 

Not sure what exactly to call that part, but i taped it off and plasti-dipped it. Very happy with how well it turned out and how easy it was to do!

Thought about doing this myself on my firestorm, now I have an awesome idea of what it would look like, haven't decided if it's for me yet, but I do like it, good job and thanks for sharing!

Looks good! I like the contrast against the red.

that looks great. I wonder what would look good on a RAVEN fr-s ?
gray - red ??
I guess I should try it and see ... hmm

did u get clean lines when you peeled back the tape? usually plasti dip will tear when dry if you are removing the edge taping. if not how did you do it?

How will this effect cleaning the car in general? I imagine cleaners won't do so well or even take off the plastidip coat eventually.

I did this to my car too. All the new cars have the center black. http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/u...by-SR-Auto.jpg Plastidip, is easy to clean. I have washed mine with soap and a rag.

Dude that looks legendary. I'm gonna do it.

Nice job man! It's a must have look I reckon for 86s.

The method is you spray 3 to 4 heavy coats of dip with minimal drying time between coats and while its still wet you peel the masking tape, that way the dip hasn't had time to dry and bond with the tape yet and you get clean lines when you peel. I got this technique from dipyourcar.com, he's got a youtube channel under the same name, check him out.

What did you do to prep the painted area before you sprayed it ?

Looks good! I wonder how this would look on Asphalt, haven't seen anyone doing this to it, seems like it might blend in though.

Plastidip
 

Instead of painter's masking tape try black vinyl electrician's tape instead.
Produced a cleaner finished edge without the plastidip adhering.

Looks clean. Not bad at all.

Keeping minimal drying time in between coats is usually the way to do it, plus spraying a new coat on top of barely dry plastidip also liquifies the bottom coats enough so that by the time you finish the last coat, not even the first bottom coats have bonded to the tape yet, so you'll get a clean line when you peel the tape as soon as you finish your last coat.
