sounds good, considering it's your "beater" car wonder how difficult it will be to keep clean.

Maybe I should plastidip my handles. The first time I spray painted them they came out great. Then they chipped so I redid them and not so good the second time

Love the plastidip on my emblems, handles and wheels! Easiest clean, just use a hose and it cleans right up.

Cheap and easy.

Here are some new-ish pictures.

Nice job on the Plastidip. Your car's paint needs some major tlc. I see some deep swirls in the first pic.

Anyone ever try this on their front bumper side reflectors? Can't stand that orange, and they seem difficult to get at.

I did you can see it in my post with pictures a couple posts down. They were super easy to do just having to take off the bumper pretty much sucked.

just wondering on the doors handles , since this sees alot of traffic and use , does the plastidip chip off? can we see a pic after a couple weeks? id love to the handles but kinda scared that the kool effect would only be temp.

kool mods btw

Ill do my best to post up pictures in a few weeks! Plasti-dip was meant for hand tools so im guessing that these will hold up just fine. If it can take the beating that hand tools take, im sure these will be just fine IMO.

I like the contrast of the silver, but i will say it looks great on the dark red car.

nice work dude
i recently did the same thing on my door handle
did you apply any finisher on it after the paint?
you know even a lil price of paint comes off would be a big deal
