Has anyone tried placing a clear coat on top of the Plasti Dip???

 

I'm about to =)

 

hi...what color are your wheels? i have the same set and planning to powder coat them, but can't decide on the color. can you please post a side pic of your car?

also, before ou plasti dip your grill, did you have to sand it down? i saw another thread and someone said to do a good sanding before applying.

thanks!

 

They're like a gunmetal grey

No sanding at all, just washed and degreased it and let it dry good

 

If you want it semi-permanent, then yes, sand it down. Otherwise keep the surface smooth so you can peel it off with ease.

 

Looks really good.

How does the plasti dip hold up against weathering? How well has it held up so far? Does it easily scratch from bits of gravel hitting it while driving or just general road wear & tear?

I have a 08 g35x Liquid Platinum color, haven't seen very many LP g's with black grille but think it would look really good.

 

^ had mine for a few months now and get behind construction trucks on the freeway more than i want. The grille, and plasti dip in general, has held up better than the paint on the bumper/hood.

 

Month and a half in, and still looking good. It holds up pretty well to weathering, and so far no fading, etc. No chips yet, and I do a pretty good amount of highway driving.

 

i mean... why so many ppl asking and so worried about it holding up or not....?

its 6 dollar can.... if u dont like it u can peel it off easily... if it chips... it takes 10 mins to respray....

 

I think it's a legitimate question considering it takes more than 10 minutes. If it took 10 minutes to take the grill off, prep it, spray it (two coats), then nobody would ask about longevity.

On topic: I know this an old thread, but looks great, E.
