Post up pictures of your inventive Plasti-dipped parts. I'll start:

Plasti-dipped lower grille area.

I've seen a few more members here who are familiar with plasti-dipping.
 
I'm not familiar with plastidip, I've never used the product.
Why do you use it as apposed to painting? What's the advantage? I see LOTS of posts and pictures about it.
 
To my knowledge you can just peel the plasti-dip off when you scratch it or want to change it. I haven't used it yet either but I plan to on my rims until I get the HFPs
 
I think some people originally painted their rims with it for winter, then peeled it off in the spring to protect them.
 
Plasti-dip is a good alternative to painting something since it can be removed without ruining a part. It also gives a nicer flat black look than a flat black paint. Plasti-dip is also very durable and won't peel in harsh conditions. I personally like it, but I don't think I'll dip my wheels. I'll probably powder coat them since a friend of mine just purchased a powder coating kit. Lol.

This thread finally came alive. Post some pics!
 
Where can you buy this stuff, I have been looking around and can't seem to find it?
 
Home Depot or lowes. Walmart doesn't carry it
 
I am thinking about doing this to my stock wheels (and going white) It would be nice to change the outer appearance of my car until i scrape together the coin to do some more playing and until I get my EKM3's (Which wont be long at all)

Homedepot used to sell them for $6 a few months ago.
 
It looks really good. Did you have any trouble with any plasti-dip peeling by the lug nuts?

Thanks! & no problems whatsoever. I've plasti dipped several wheels and other car parts for friends so I'm pretty good with the process. Here's pics of how I covered everything up.
