so i was bored and nothing else to do so i decided to paint the rear valence on my G37 sedan. sorry for crappy blackberry pics, i'll take some decent ones later today. its not perfect but it will do for now.

before


with flash after.

 

looks good man. u paint it matte black?

 

thanks! it looks matte black. i used plasti dip so i can take it off whenever i want.

 

Plastidip FTW! Used on my rims and grille and still looking good at least a month later. Tried it on my "spoiler" and didn't like the look so pealed it off the next day.

 

i'm thinking about doing my grill as well but we'll see how it goes.

 

how does this plasti dip stuff work?
i glanced it over quickly on google but, like, how do you remove it and stuff?
from the website, it looks liek one of those cheap "as you seen on tv" stuff.
flame me if im wrong lol...

 

your paint job looks spot on btw
any close ups?

 

It's normally used to coat handles of tools, to provide grip. Some come in cans where you literally dip the tool handle in it.

But they also come in a spray can. It dries, looks and feels just like rubber. If you tire of the look, just peel it off.

The trick to an easy peel is to apply it thick enough so when you do peel, they come out as large chunks (or a single peel). I used it on my grill, and it's held up very well even after i had to drive behind a gravel truck.

 

thanks! i haven't taken any close up shots yet, i'll try as soon as i'm not busy.

i just hate how the '10 rear bumpers have no end not like the older sedans.

soundmike just explained the whole thing. thanks!

 

I'm interested to hear how you did it with Plastidip. Post more details.

 

i just masked off the bumper.
here's a few more pics..



its not perfect yet since it was my first try to do this bumper, i will redo it soon when i get a chance.

 

If you plasti dip your grill, I would love some hi def pics!! That seems like a possibility for my G.....

 

Yea I would like to know more about this Plasti-Dip. You got it at Home Depot?

 

I got a few cans this week plan to do the grill and valance was considering the window molding just not sure....... def will be doing the grill in the next week though

 

I have an overlay for the 2010 rear valences now .
