You could paint the area you plastidip bronze though, right?

 

[BurningRubber]

Yes, you can paint it whatever color you want once it has cured. I thought about picking up bronze for my wheels, but I think it'd be too dull to get the results I wanted.

I did my fuel door, did two solid coats just to start. It has a pretty nice finish, it's basically flat/hotrod black. No shine, but i may mess with the clearcoat I bought and see what that does.

It cures nicely... had a couple of uneven areas and a run (I was rushing) and they don't stick out after it cured. I did have a little bubble or two, but I don't care enough to re-do it... haha.

Seriously thinking about the roof and pillars.

It's not too bad for just a few dollars. It held up well on my car at over 150mph this last weekend

 

[mustang562]

Yeah its holding up pretty good on mine as well.

 

[Night Shifter]

Well crap I didn't know I could paint over it....flat black car with bronze spokes fr500's here I come.....

Burningrubber how did you prep the surface?

I would guess you should plan a good washing and maybe a good wax too under it. Just remember that just like paint, you will want multiple thinner layers so it might take a while. The spray can may not be the best way to apply it to the entire car.

Summit has red, blue, yellow, white, and of course black plasti dip.....man im gonna be changing the color of my car every week.....

Just noticed my phone autocorrected nightfire to mightier

My mind is already made up, its just a matter of finding some time to do it

I'm curious to see someone do it to their painted areas and pull it off. I saw that one youtube video, but I'm still not convinced about it messing up the clear coat.

I'm pretty much dead set on painted my winter rims. I'll probably resurrect this thread in a month or so with pics.

I taped a square area around my GT emblems and peeled it off the paint. It left a small amount of residue, but was easily cleaned.

I did the hoodscoop and spoiler while they were off of the car. The paint was horrible on these.

All I can say is make sure that everything is washed and waxed and all that good stuff before you start with the Plasti-Dip. The extra protection will give you peace of mind.

I remember seeing one article about a guy doing it to his C5 Corvette. He wanted to see what a full body custom stripe/design would look. His car was red and had black Plasti-Dip. Looked awesome.

SteedaGT, thanks!

VortechEdge, I think I will do the rims. I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out.

Washed it, still has a little layer of wax left on it.


I did my roof today... it's dark out now and I'm waiting on the 2nd coat to dry. I think it's going to look rough from a can without 3-4 coats, but then again, I'm not the guy you'd ask to paint a car.

 

[Night Shifter]

Nice...thanks....get some pics up when u can

 

[1fun281]

Lets get some pics, my roof is faded to s*&$, so ive been planning on doing it if it comes out good!
