Talking blacked out 350z

im in the process of making most of my 350z black with the exception of calipers and ring on rims being red. what did you use on emblems? handles? tail lights?

i used a tint but i dont think it looks very good and i want to restart. also my emblems i used plastic paint. i heard about plastidip or something but idk what that is or where you get it.

Plasti dip works great for the emblems. Get it from your local hardware store.. Lowes, Home Depot, etc. Only $6 a can. Works great.

Handles and tail lights.. I would take them to a shop.

pay to have your taillights painted.. they mix base black in with the clear. makes for a nice finish.
shouldnt cost you more than 100 bucks.
VHT sucks.

if your car is already gloss black, making the emblems flat black wont look right.. have them painted gloss as well.

Go all gloss or all flat.. red cars look cool w plsti dip emblems. It will cheapen the look on a superblack tho.

Hope you covered up everything behind the bumper, Plastidip works as an insulator as well. Not so good for efficiency.
