Thread: Plastidip'd the front fascia

yeah, I just figured next time I'm going to run a blade real lightly in that area, that should solve it

sometimes there is it will lift if there is no gap to break the plasti dip. In this case you could carefully use a razor.

Say you wanted to do someting stupid like plastidip stripes on your hood. If there is no gap you can achieve straight lines by taping off the area where you want the straight line. Then spray ONE heavy coat close to the tape, then peel the tape off asap before the Pdip starts to dry.

If the plasti dip drys the tape will lift it up.

that's exactly what I thought.....nice tip!

Yeah, if you plan on doing it while it's still cold keep in mind it sticks well in the cold, just get the can as warm as possible before you spray and between coats. It globbed up pretty bad on the first coat before I warmed up the can, but everything after that went very well...

I did 4 coats, the 4th being extra heavy just to finish off the can. The more coats you add, the easier it will peel later if you change your mind

I had my front and rear fascias actually painted at the body shop.

Back:

Looks nice, Mine are painted too, but they're painted Silver to match the car, like yours. I wanted to break up the color, I like it so much I'm pretty sure I'm going to paint mine too, but black

My car is black also and I was going to attempt doing this.Now I see the results going to give it a try.

Post some pix when you do!

Sure will this is one of a few projects needed on the car this summer.

Awesome, you should post some pix

Nice job, from what I can see it looks like it came out smooth
