All this talk about plasti dipping is making me want to plastidip my beater car since it has crappy paint and its stripping. Cheaper than painting the thing.

 

serious question, if "plasti dipping" is frowned upon what is the best way to get your emblem and handles black?? I have a red Z and i want to get the emblems and handles blacked out...or is that process in general frowned upon here lol

 

You can always spend a lot more money to have it actually painted.. But unless I was paying for the whole car to be repainted, and told them to also paint the emblems/handles a different color, I'd just plasti dip..

Plasti dip is just given a bad name with ricers, but assuming anyone that uses it is a ricer is just illogical. Very poor deductive reasoning, ASSUMING they are wrong. Like a lambo with plasti dip isn't rice, obviously the person with lambo can afford to wrap the damn thing, but maybe he likes to change it up often and wants to save money, or maybe even test out the dip just to see what it'd look like.

I'll agree that most people who use plasti dip are ricers, because most people can get their hands on it, but if you have a tasteful car, tasteful mods, and don't act like the plasti dip is as respectable as wrap you'll be good.

Sorry for the long winded response to such a simple question.. I have essays and exams to study for and procrastination is getting to me.

 

Maaaan, do whatever tickles your pickle. Who cares what we think? As long as your happy that's all that matters and nothing else. We are just some guys over the internet and we can't tell you what you can and can't do. No one can.

 

Not sure how to take what you said, because overtone is really hard to determine through text. I just want to make it clear that it's my opinion on other cars, but I don't plasti dip.

 

this is reason why i had to let my beloved 350z

 

well dang. I have a 04 redline and i want the emblems and handles black but idk what to do lol. i dont want to have to redo it every 2 months or something if plasti dip sucks and wears off. My buddy owns a body shop and is talented at car paint jobs, maybe i could have him do them for me? idkk dang it. i need some advice! lol

 

Why are you asking us if your buddy will do it for you?

 

plastidip that sheeat and dont listen to anyone here, this forum is full of jerks. If you dont like it remember that it comes right off. Ive had my emblems dipped for months now and still looks good as new. Call me what you want but i think it look awesome and so does everyone else that sees the car in person.Check out my album for pics. Ive learned my lesson in asking anything on these forums as they will quickly ridicule you for no reason.

 

well obv the price difference between PD'ing and just straight up painting them is tremendous, and the process is always a huge difference. thanks for the advice though....

 

Welcome to the forums and the internet, bro

 

are your handles dipped also??

 

Yes check it. Looks real clean and it was only 6 bucks. Matches my Matte Black Varrs perfectly

Another shot at night

 

plastidip your fenders down a few inches. Looks like its a truck

 

Just got the rims. No funds yet for a drop, but coming next. Still looks real good on stock suspension, but obviously it will look way better lowered.

 

OP. You must learn that going cheap is not the way to go. Just save and buy quality. Spend cheap and you will get cheap. Z's look better bone stock than one that has a million cheap mods.

 

I'm a fan of PD on door handles, did mine a while back but took it off.

 

Your car looked better black

 

lolls. perfect.

 

We've been down this road many moons with him. Don't waste your time.
