IM BATMAN.. New Look
So i got bored and decided to play with plasti dip. It turns alot more heads now. Half the people do not even know what the car is. It has been called a CC, C class, Audi. It was very easy to do. Took about 4 hours to do. covered up some rock chips and light scratches in the surface. It is super stealth i could not see the car 25 feet away sitting in the driveway last night. The headlights were peeled off i just wanted to do some pictures in stealth mode.

Any chance we can see some pictures of the car after you took it off the headlights?

"Got bored" must be a relative term.

I'm all for it. I'm just jelly I don't have four hours to play.
I agree on the rims. Throws it off, but I can imagine that pulling the dip off of the wheels with that many rivets and spokes must be a PITA.

Holy shit. I never realized how expensive that stuff is. I just Googled and it's like $75-$100/gallon. You just "got bored" and decided to coat your car with $400 worth of plasti-dip?

that was the main purpose of dipping the car was to eliminate the chrome. the bumper corners have chips. and plan to leave just Legend, A logo's, upper and lower grill pieces and trunk strip chrome.

with the wheels chrome lip. door trims and door bumpers front/rear bumper car just had too much chrome going on for me. plus always had a thing for Satin black. alot cheaper than a paint job and isn't permanent.

It came out nice, I would just dip the lips of the rims and see how that would look.

Maybe the when the head lights are uncovered it will look better. I would probably do the mirror blinkers too. Just the wheels is too little chrome. It looks out of place. Maybe the lining around the windows?

I am liking it. Really curious to see it with the headlights uncovered. I also agree with 007, maybe uncover the mirror blinkers too. Just my opinion, in the end it is your car. I have always been a fan of the matte black, never thought about it doing it to the RL, but I like how it looks.

i just taped off large panels like the sunroof, windows, windshield, etc. i sprayed it all at once continuous. then before it dried i sprayed the gaps and inner door handles with the spot spray. i am a horrible painter and i only have 1 little area that i dont like due to a neighbor that ashed his cigarette and landed in the wet dip.
