We already are. Used some bondo to fix a couple scratches in the grill, sand down, and going to paint and clear coat it.

But I appreciate it. Thank you for your opinion. I didn't know why I loved plasti dip when in reality it looks like sh*t. I'm definently not going to bother with that crap again.
Finally.

It wasn't an attack, it was me beating it into your head. I just want you to do things right and not use that wack **** that fades paint.

With the price of G35s dropping more and more you get more younger kids with no modding budgets who go the "ricer" or "tacky" route

Word of advice... BONDO = GARBAGE!!! Dont use it!!! 3M or Rage make fillers 100x better. And you should have used a high build primer to fill scratches, not body filler

I hope youre using automotive bc/cc and not some Duplicolor garbage you get at AutoZone....

I was too afraid to sand and F up my grill so I cleaned it, sprayed plasti-dip on it, and noticed it looked nice. THEN after a month I peeled it off (nothing was wrong) and sanded it down to paint it matte black. I suxed a painting so took like 3 tries. Looked a little better and smoother. after 2 weeks I have chips and scratches everywhere! So I stripped it down and plastidipped.....when I noticed it was somewhat not perfect I got some 2000grit and sanded a little. looked great hit it with a clear coat and matched my car perfectly. Plasti-dip lasted longer than krylon and is able to remove with no EXTRA products. Just peel off every 6 months and make a new set. If you tell me that I suck at painting then ur a dumb**** I said that myself, If you say I should get it dont professionally don't you think I would've if I could pay for it? Look my entire car needs paint!!!!! However, just to turn heads in traffic and my bosses compliments I do whatever I CAN! If you don't like plasti-dip your words are already on here you can leave now. If it hurts you that we do plasti-dip how about you paint are parts for us and just charge shipping. This thread started months ago so if you have time to be on every single page then you can obviously do a grill.
