Playing with plasti dip.










I love it. Going to tint the headlights like on the 03 and black the rest of the chrome on the car, plasti dip the 20 spokes I have for it too.

I agree on everything but the wheels. Not my taste personally, but the rest will look good! How about some pics from farther away?

[crash93ssei]

I am not 100% on the wheels myself that is why I will plasti dip them so if I don't like it it will peel off. I will take some pics a little further away and post them.

That looks pretty nice!!! Excited to see it with the wheels on it. That was my intentions for my white car was to plasti-dip the 20 spokes on it but never got around to it lol

I like that grille a lot! Looks so much meaner.

I am diggin what is done so far. Looks good Ryan! I shall reserve judgment till pics are posted of the rims though.

That looks amazing. I'm sure you know this, but with the wheels, make sure you do it nice and thick. I did mine too thin and it was a PITA to remove, even with bug and tar remover.

Looks good Ryan! Still can't believe you stole this car! ha

see I wanted to do the opposite and paint the grille on my SE silver. but maybe I'll pick up some PD and try it out on my grille and side molding chrome as well.

did you remove the grille and inserts to do this?

[crash93ssei]

Quick and dirty just to see.

[SSEiMan01]

I say no to the wheels. Just me.

[crash93ssei]

Believe me, it is not done yet. I am not in love with it yet either.

It sits like a monster truck in front due to crappy too tall quick struts, I have a pair of stock FE2 coils to swap on though, that will help a lot I think. The headlights and fogs need tinted, the other wheels need done and the tires will have to be cleaned up and shined. Also the chrome door trim has to be dipped as well as pin stripe removed. If at that point I am still uncertain I will get some plasti dip glossifier and coat the wheels and see if that changes my mind. Worst comes to worst I peel it off and try something else

[nos4blood70]

You gotta keep the tires clean to pull off the look.

You gotta keep the tires clean to pull off the look.

Absolutely. I literally pulled these wheels off one of the cars I parted out, cleaned the wheels up a bit then threw them in storage. I pulled this one out yesterday and wiped the dust off then dipped it. I just wanted to see if I thought it had enough potential to even bother wasting the money on more dip, which I think I can still pull it off despite how it doesn't really look that promising above.

My buddy did a red pinstripe around the edge of his SRT-4 wheels when he dipped them, they looked too plain with just the plastidip on them.

[nishnobguad]

I like how it looks. With those windows tinted so dark, and the plastidip in the front, it pulls it all together and will look even better with your plans for the lights and pinstripe removal. Can't wait to see how it comes together. It will definitly stand out and be unique.

[Al Bonneville]

That looks pretty good on th grill and all.

[Zeik75]

I think it should look pretty good once its all pulled together, However I don't thing they should be glossed without the other pieces being glossed also IMO.

Also I love the cutlass hiding back there.

[Wes]

/thumbs up here. I like it!

[crash93ssei]

Wheels done, love the look!










Still on the list - head lights, tail lights, door chrome trim, rear badge, and also going to dip the exhaust tips.
