Plasti dip diffuser

Another member did his diffuser on his sedan. It's my turn with my desert platinum coupe

The can

Need to prep the paint, wash off the diffuser and mask off the area.



All that newspaper because my father was concerned about overspray.

Final shots:



You need to be careful removing the tape as the plasti dip sticks to it when peeling off. I'm gonna redo the edging later.


Gotta rep driver:

2 G's? I guess 2 is better than 1! If you need the space I could always store the black 1 for you!

Peel off the tape and newspaper while its still wet. That'll solve the edge problems. Or, used a razor blade and score the plasti-dip. Then peel it slowly.

The the person who asked if it washes off easily, it doesnt wash off. You have to peel it off.

The hardest part of this is taping up the newspaper. Such a pain in the ****.

Nope. My little brother works at waterway car wash, to test the diffuser and it held up good.

In the normal position the g spot won't show. I used brackets to lower it but I need to drill some holes to raise up a little

I tried scoring. Didnt work well. I'm gonna respray and try your method of peeling off the newspaper while it's still wet. Thank you for the advice
