Had some time to kill, blacked out some of the front to decide if/what/where I want to black it out (hate....HATE, chrome!)

That might look nice on the A pillars to make the roof float?

for sure...done that on my last 3 cars....WILL happen, for now I want to get rid of that 1990s chrome look.

I think that you should keep that front upper lip white personally. The black looks out of place. It doesn't flow.

My initial impression is mixed, I think ill plastidip the whole things and take another look, undecided for now though. Gotta love plastidip to help make up your mind for <$6

I couldn't agree more. The look of plastic chrome cheapens the car. I'm going to plasti-dip black the GT silver side rails located below the doors.

once I decide on a look, I'll actually paint it legit.

Can't wait for pictures of it fully plasti dipped.

Looking Awesome @SUKXOST Given me some ideas now!

I'm all for blacking out the grille but not the body colored portion right above it that you blacked out.

time will tell what I'll do

If anything, you can rip off the bits you don't like.

Chrome sucks. The slightest bit is nice as a contrast, but most of the time too much is used. I imagine a day that chrome is just not used. Let's find a new finish instead, please.

Stoopid plasti-noob question: Would plasti-dipping the front hood part like you did provide protection from chipping? or is the plati-dipped part as vulnerable as bare paint?

- B

in essence...its like rubber in a can that sprays. Additional protection WOULD be added...but marginally. More coats = more protection. Usually 3-5 coats for a thorough plastidip coverage. Possible added benefit but not a reason to plastidip even if same colored. IMO

Have you thought about having the grill wrapped instead? I'm thinking about getting the roof wrapped.

No, plastidip is far easier an cheaper, and if it gets a nick...30 seconds and its fixed.

removed top...ill make decision soon on exactly how I want the front

 

[Kebabs]

Looks better without the top plasti dipped. Was it as satisfying as peeling the plastic off a tv?
