Plastidip section - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

That creates a lot of contrast where there's none anywhere else. If you plan on keeping it, I'd consider dechroming your headlights, tails, and consider tinting your windows. Black wheels and some added front bummer contrast may help.

That's what I wanted to do to mine when I get it. Looks great!

Agreed. What a great idea! They ought to offer that as a factory stripe option!

Loki2x · 09-30-2012, 12:05 AM

Looks great! Can you post some close up shots.

Finished the sides now all I have to do is the vents

Holy crap, this is amazing! Simple, but it's exactly what I've been wanting to do with my Whiteout!

How did you get the curved section so smooth? What do you use for "masking"? Sorry if that's a stupid question. Noob here.

That doesnt look like the flat black plasti dip, did you use the plasti dip gloss on top of it?

RedRocket · 10-28-2012, 11:25 PM

The more I look at this.. the more I like it.. I might do this on my Firestorm.. I'm not sure yet... SPRAYING anything besides a cleaning product on my car scares me... it really does.. in 3 years I try to peel it off, and what? Does the paint look faded around it? ... I'm not sure..

plastidip wont last for 3 years.

Hey guys it is the flat black plastidip, and for masking I just used the automotive masking tape in long sections to guess the curve and long straight areas. I sprayed liberally and then peeled the masking almost immediately to get the nice line. If you let it sit too long as I did at first, the edges peel up..

Hope that helps and thanks for the input..

Looks great. That's what I did a while back too. Plasti dip. The curved line is a bit hard but have to work quick.

sorry to bump such an old thread but has anybody smoked their taillights with plastidip smoke?
