Edit: Moderators_ Could we make this thread a sticky as I suspect there will be many examples displayed. Thanks.

Just like the tittle say. Many of us have jumped on the plastidip bandwagon and have done various things with it. This is posted in the Coupe section but All Gs are welcome Post them up

I'll start

XiX X17 with normal plastidip finish








XiX X17 with plastidip base coat/Graphite top layer/Clearcoat

^^^ same question. I did this on my OEM 19's a few weeks ago and while it looks okay, i would like to make it look better since its starting to fade just a bit.

Holding up great so far. no fading. It helps that have clearcoat on it.

many members on here stated that adding a clear coat on top of the plasti dip will make it look horrible? maybe if i hit it with a colored top layer + a clear coat it'll make it look much better.

You must have a few layers of paint in between the clearcoat and plastidip or it will look like crap.

I just got done blacking out my Mt Fuji emblem with Plasti-Dip. Put on 4 layers, waited 15 min in between layers and an hour after the final layer. Peeled right off the paint around the emblem with no problems!
