Plasti-Dipped lower front bumper - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

IgnitionGundam · 08-23-2013, 01:49 AM

I'm gonna do this on mine. Only thing I was worried about is leaving the plastidip on for long periods of time in hot weather. I saw what plastidip did to some of the other cars on this forum. So I was thinking about covering that bottom part with vinyl first before i plasti dipped it.

Care to link to "what it did to other cars"?

Been on the fence about this. Really like the look, but from some angles it looks like the car is missing it's lower lip...

I've got a roll of gloss black vinyl that I might use (instead of dip) to try it out...Would probably look better/more complete with an actual lower lip installed, to "frame" the negative space from the blacked out center section.

Interesting! It seems the colored varieties bleed through into the clear. I wonder if the black/white could do the same thing?

FRS1010 · 08-24-2013, 10:40 PM

If it did bleed through I would just wrap it with vinyl then.

Has anyone done this or something like it to the front bumper on a BRZ?

Thinking about doing the same kind of thing to my BRZ before driving across the country. This is my poor artists rendition.
