Plastidip trunk lid

Has anyone done this? I'm looking into getting plastidip to do my emblem,front grill and trunk lid. I saw some pictures of the front grill and the emblem but not the trunk lid. If anyone has any pics of the trunk lid please post them up. Thanks

Sorry for the phone picture. But this is the front. Just remove the bumper and disassemble the grille. Clean it and put about 4-5 coats of Plasti-Dip.



Don't worry about the edges. Just take a toothpick and prick at the unwanted areas. Comes right off! Extremely easy to do.



Also do 4-5 Coats. It's dark out so I'll take a picture tomorrow for ya. Came out pretty nice in my opinion.

Edit: Sorry I didn't know you meant the trunk lip. But if you wanna see the results of what I did, I post it up.

the rear was a biatch. Took me like 8 times to finally peel it off right. Every time i started to peel the tape off, it peeled a small portion of plastidip off the center bar lol
