Hey everyone i decided to blackout my car and change the gray front and rear bumper, as well as the sides and running board. I've had it like this for about 2 weeks now and there hasn't been any problems. Just decided to post some pics just in case others were curious about this product or how it looked. Overall though i feel it turned out great, i love it!

looks nice there what kind of exhaust set up you got? custom i assume?
 






Thanks! Yeah i have a super 44 single in dual out muffler...i took it to a shop to get all the custom work done though, but i had to take out my spare tire
 






looks freaking great....!!!!!!!

awesome look
 












Looks good aj!
If you happen to have any Plasti-dip left over. Plasti-dip a wheel and see how you like it. You never know.
Remove the wheel and center cap and do separately. (Not sure the cap would work out though. Might get messed up after removing a few times.?) Inside rim as well. Put it back on then post a pic. I would like to see how it comes out. I've been contemplating doing this. It would save me some time and money and might save you money on rims. Win/Win :) ...just an idea
 






Thanks! Yeah I'm for sure gonna try out my rims too, just gotta find some free time to do it...but when I do I'll post some pics for sure!
 






did u rattle spray it or use a sprayer? i have a blue Trac and hate the gray.....wondering what the black would look like on my blue. also did u remove all the plastic or just tape?
 






Looks good! Unfortunately I never seem to have good luck with plastidip but it still amazes me on how much of a difference it can make.
 






I just sprayed it right from the can I put 4 coats on and it took me around 10 cans. I taped everything up... but if you tape it make sure to pull off the tape immediately after the last coat because I let it dry first and then pulled the tape off and alot of the dip pulled up with the tape so I had to redo it. So I found it better to take off the tape right after the last coat while its wet just gotta be careful
