ElBarto, how about silver?

BTW: This has probably been asked a hundred times, but what are the rectangular boxes under your headlights?

What if it bleeds into your Silver Ignition? Is vinyl harder to apply?

They kind of look like pop out head light washers.

Not sure about that but it seems like its red plasti dip that seems to bleed. Has black bled onto anyone's?

vinyl is very easy to use. no need for a heat gun, just a regular hairdryer works just fine.

Plasti Dip looks neat but in person most applications seem to have a rough finish not smooth like wraps which of course is trying to simulate a paint-like finish. As for removing the Plasti Dip it seems like it would stain the paint of applied over and over. IMO for bigger coverage areas on panels, Vinyl wrap looks great when applied right. Plasti Dip is easier on sharp contours and hard to wrap areas where the spray is easy to apply. Both kinda attract dirt a little quicker than paint so keep em clean so it lasts!

Looking good. I've done the same about 6 or 7 months ago and the Plasti Dip is holding up great. I wash my car once a week and no issues yet.
