Plasti Dip Experiment - Under Headlights

This past weekend I tried out plasti dip for the first time. So it might seem like noob work - but I'm learning the feel of how it sprays and work

At first I was going to plasti dip the lower front bumper but decided to try something different. I have searched the forums and have not seen anyone do it and I was curious how it would look.

What do you think?











Next time I am thinking of extending the dip along the side of the lights too.

It looks good! Now you can clearly see that there is LED strip inside the housing.

BRB, giving my car eye shadow.

Well, I could. But it may not show up on a Raven as well.

I actually think it looks really nice. It brings out that aggressive sharp corner of the front bumper which the BRZ lacks. If only you went a little higher to avoid that reflecting line, it'd be nice!
Great idea! Now dip that lower lip. :-P

Not a fan, although I'm rarely a fan of plasti-dipping anything on the outside of your car except maybe your wheels. It looks like you used some black spray paint, or like your bumper wasn't painted properly. It's different, I guess, but not in a good way.

It's very unique, but it looks like the car is wearing eye-liner lol
