I'm sure a lot of people done this. Any tips? Do I need to prep or just mask the area around and spray the dip? Any negatives to the original paint? Thanks.

 

Clean the suface really well and don't wait more than a couple minutes before removing the tape for a sharp line.

 

Not hard at all, prep is key. like mentioned above peel tape while still wet, if your going to use multiple coats (recommended), then apply a few strips of tape on the edge to continuously peel after each coat.

 

I taped it off then did a few lighter coats near the bottom followed by a few heavy coats going up to the tape, then peel while it's still wet to get a nice clean line

 

Anyone have pics of this actually done? The end result that is. Thanks!

 

could also consider a valence overlay, cost less than 50 )

Couldn't get photobucket up, search on here for mine.

 

I had the rear valance area wrapped in flat-black vinyl. It turned out OK after having a second shop fix the botched job of the first. With hindsight, I should have tried Plastidip on my own. Failing that, I should have bought BlueBat's pre-cut pieces. Failing that, I should have had it professionally painted, or gone to a better shop.

Every time you mod the car, there are lessons learned.

In for pics of the OP's work.

 

I think hell might have frozen over. Did you just advocate plastidip

Where is Rochester and what have you done with him??

 

Now that is ROTFLMAO
I'm a bit concerned as well

For the lower section of the rear bumper? Sure, I'd try it there. Although I certainly wouldn't have high expectations.

You guys are so off-topic. Where's the Mod to clean up this mess?

 

This thread hasn't migrated to something BMW related so carry on............

 

I was looking at that, but is it me, or does the 06-09 G35's have a different rear bumper than the 2010+? The curves look different.

 

Yes. They redesigned the bumpers in 2010.

IMO, changes in the fronts were a big improvement, but the '09 rear looked better than the 2010+.
