I've been meaning to post this up for a while now, just haven't had the time to do it.... so now that I have a flu, and I wake up at the most random times... I figured I'd do it now... than never.

You can pick up a can of plastidip from the paint department of any home building store (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.)

In case you don't know what plastidip is... it's rubberized paint originally used to coat the grip of tools, until it was made in a spray form and fell into the hands of a car guy... and well the possibilities are endless. This stuff will peal off on demand with no issues as long as the coats are thick enough.



Sorry for the cell phone quality pics.
Here's the steps:



















Enjoy

 

I mean really do you have to logo the pics and watermark g35nyc on all the pictures..i mean its just showing people how to spray paint out of a can..uhmm...was this a diy or more of a"look what I can do"?

uhmm gosh I hope no one steals these pics and say they know how to spray paint and take credit for this.

hahah no hard feelings..just very pissy today..good work tho

 

Not for nothing, I do this for a living. So I'd like to promote my business and forum as much as I can and when I can.

I used to charge money for this, and now I let people know how it's done so they can do it themselves... I think the least I can do is deserve some credit where its due.

 

Great reply! I hope this discourages more people from posting those annoying DIYs. Especially the ones with clear step by step instructions, and great pictures. I'd rather just guess, or start a new thread that's been started 100 times already.

Thanks X-vert, my Mt Fuji has a chip in it and I might do this after I fill it, looks great!

 

Nice DIY man!

 

Wow X-vert, that was a shock. When I was reading through the DIY I thought "why is he masking this like this" Then to my surprise I got to the peal part and was like "wow!"

Anyways, awesome write up, I think Im going to do this tonight. Oh and dont listen to what others say man, keep up the good work.

 

Great write-up X-vert! I'll give it a try this weekend.

04Gwhiz........stop being a douche

 

Excellent write up! Will be doing it this weekend.

 

Expertly-done DIY! Ignore the naysayers

I might have to do this soon. I have been thinking about blacking out my Mt Fuji (the only badge I have on my coupe) but have been reluctant to do it because I wasn't sure I would like it on my Lakeshore Slate. However, with this method, if I don't like it, I can easily remove it.

Thanks again!

 

dang, I like this ideal.

 

Nice DIY..... but spray paint?

Orange peel FTL

If youre gonna do it, do it with the correct paint....

 

Plasti-dip is a rubberized coating, not paint.

 

therefore....... spray paint

I know what plasti-dip is... Ive used it before on tools

 

Granted, it's still not paint. PDI is very careful to call these as coatings, not paint.

 

Awesome writeup. I like this because you can go back to chrome if needed!
