New mods including Plastidip front grill

Been meaning to take some photos for a few weeks since the new mods (wheels, tires and suspension). Had my first experience with Plastidip the other day and had great success! simple to use with great results! Anyways-let me know what you guys think....

I usually don't like black lips on a white car, but your car looks great.

..looks good! such a cool product. I didnt have to worry about cracking the radiator cover as Infiniti took care of that for me when they were swapping out a blown HID ballast. I wish I would have noticed it then.....

Is the plastic dip textured like plastic to the touch?

Did you sand off the chrome before using it on your grille?

the plastidip, sadly, has kind of an awkward texture. not smooth, more like rubberly (lint sticks to it, but it just wipe it off with a chamois towel). youll have to kinda try it out to see what im talking about.
nah... i didnt sand it because i didnt know what it would come out looking like. if i didnt like it i could just, literally, rub it off. sanding it makes it semi-permanent.
