Absolutely hate the texture and look of plasti-dip.

From far it looks okay because, well, it just looks black.
Up close is when it looks ugly.

I prefer vinyl.

Not a fan of plasti dip but to each their own.

Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free.


I suggest vinyl too. Plasti-dip does it in a whim but as GP16 noted it only looks good from far. Get up close and then you see the rubbery texture and it's not so good anymore.

But if you don't care, then all is good.

I like the way it looks. If I were you, I'd have that cross piece painted so it's a more permanent and more esthetic solution.

From having it on my winter wheels, I can tell you bare platidip sucks. As others have said it's just too rubbery. With a clear coat on top it might be better, withstand the elements better and easier to clean. It's my biggest gripe with plastidip really, trying to clean that shit is tedious. A clear coat might fix that though, I'm about to try that solution.

I've cleaned it before, spray washer with soap attachment and it works very well. For wheels 4 coats not less otherwise it's gonna have chips all the time.

Not bad-the guys have a good idea in dipping the entire grill.

It's a preliminary idea.. I used the plasti dip to see if I liked the appearance. I can peel it off any time.

It was $6 for the can about 40 minutes of my time. If I like it, I'll have it painted along with the bumper as some asshole backed into it and gouged the paint..... With 22k miles on it.

I think it looks good! It really makes people focus on the acura badge when looking at it

Thanks for the opinions. It's a very subtle but noticeable "mod" that only Acura fans will see
