After seeing some nice examples of plastidipping, I thought I'd try it out for myself. After all, it's supposed to be undone quite easily. I was a bit surprised at the result I got.

Pics:



I painted the wings black and "matt" on the chrome surround. Looks quite good from 3 metres away, but what I was surprised about was how rough/course the finish was. I thought it would be quite smooth and rubbery from the photos I've seen. The rough finish isn't a problem but would probably make cleaning a little more difficult. Maybe I did something wrong?

Overall, very easy to use product. The only prep I did was wiping the surfaces down with some rubbing alcohol. Did about 5 or 6 very light coats. The worst thing about this product is reading about people in the US paying $6/can.

In terms of finish that's as good as you're going to get with plastidip. Personally I don't like the rough finish so I'd opt for spraying the grille with conventional paint as the finish is a lot nicer and smoother IMO.

I think it looks good although maybe it's a bit hard to see in the pictures. Looks a bit like a dark concrete texture which I'm guessing you weren't after but it still is a nice effect.
