One of the Best Ways to GET YOUR TRIM BLACK!!!! AND STAY BLACK!!

^yeah I guess.. good to know

[Bad_dude]

neither is back to black or tire shine products. nothing is permanent. if plastic dip chips or fails SIMPLE PEEL it off. NO MESSY ACETONE which you cant use on fiberglass or plastic parts without damage anyways.

PlastiDip is the way to go. id gladly spend 6$ a year if needed on plastidip rather than those BS shine products that only last a week at best if it doesnt rain, and need to be reapplied weekly to maintain shine.

So you would think the plasti-dip would last a year?

[maroonCD5]

PlastiDip will last a very long time. We always suggest a minimum of 4-5 coats. We've seen wheels, grilles, ect dipped for over 1 a year without having to be touched up. Unless there is a specific event that damages the PlastiDip, it will hold up great and keep it's finish. It is very durable and will not lose it's bond.

PlastiDIp is extremely resistant to the elements, including sun fading, winter ice, cold, salt ect. A lot of customers actually dip their wheels and cars specifically to protect the original surfaces from the winter season.

cool tip will try it

[JDMDriver]

also midway through the process i happened to look in my mirror and i was shocked to see a FLIPPING BEEHIVE and AN ALIVE HONY BEE IN THERE!!! LIKE WTF!!

I'd be careful about this.

It may not be a bee's hive but rather something similar (wasp or hornets nest).

Read up on how to protect yourself and ways to clear it before you poke a stick in there or dismantle the mirror (with the insect still inside). They can be very aggressive and can put you or a family member or pet in hospital.

So plasti-dip is the way to go for the molding?

Just get some fukin Raid, man they will drop to the floor.

No need fir that. Rubbing alcohol frags them much faster, its insane. Starting fluid too, and brake clean as well. All evaporate clean. A much better alternative to poisons that just piss them off for 5 minutes before that actually die. Seriously though. Brake clean takes seconds.

I was thinking of using black under coating on the moldings and bumpr trim. this stuff is pretty tough and scratch resistant. however it is dull. what are thoughts on bumper paint for molding and side skirts?

[F20A CB7]

Just sand them well, primer, paint, clear coat.

U can use .99cent primer and gloss blk, use good clear coat.


I can make .99 can of spray paint look like a 6 dolla can of paint. All in the prep work man

I will definitely have to try this especially on my drivers side of the car. Thanks for posting this.

[tommi]

that was there to sweeten the deal

[Bongo]

Like previously stated... prep them well and paint them. Will long outlast any products you wipe on. And I personally think they look better painted. It's also most likely cheaper.

Nice Post, didn't think i could get that color back without painting them! This will have to be my next project.
