Thanks for the responses.

Question: Plasti Dip the entire grill except Nissan logo OR Plasti Dip only the center bars and keep the the frame and logo chrome? This will be done on a Precision Grey 7th Gen.

Blacked out looks good on white, not sure about grey.

Nemo7

what i did is when i took it off i sprayed the whole grill the has it blacked out for a while then i took of the paint on the logo.

just spray the whole thing and if you don't like it start peeling off what doesn't look good to you

All that's missing is the custom headlights and the Stillen lip. Then I'm done with the front. (I hope)

Nemo7

If i plasti dip a engine cover will it hold up in the temperature under the hood?

Pearl09Max

not to give an obvious answer but your best bet would be to go on their website and see what temperatures it witholds

Nemo7

i feel stupid...

Pearl09Max

lmao dont be too hard on yourself

Nemo7

Got bored might redo later on...

Nice job man. Problem is will it hold the beating....

Nemo7

thats what I'm curious about but we will see if not i might just use real paint.

Jbling700

LOL... Hey is your plasti-dipped grill peeling? Mine is and I gave my spray can away ..Back to the drawing board again

Nemo7

mine has not started peeling yet.
how many coats did you do???

Pearl09Max

how in the hell did u do that to your fob!? lmao i likey

Jbling700

5 or 6 coats. I can't remember. I blame the F***king salt on the road. I knew I should of washed it. It turned brownish the other day then went black again. I noticed it today as I was approaching my car... I'm so mad . If I use real paint, I'll be too afraid..

Nemo7

yea i understand i live in California so i don't deal with snow unless i go to Tahoe (which is about 2 times every other week if snow)

but paint would last if you go to a good body shop my only problem with getting it painted is rock chips once its chipped its chipped you have to leave it or get it redone

so it can go either way really

I was reading about this stuff I had a plan to spray black accents on my summer chrome rims. and hit up Youtube to see if it's compatible and ideas. Came across this Maxima Vid And thought i would share it. http://youtu.be/lLdj4mlDC_g

Jbling700

Nice video. I wish plasti-dip came with black gloss tho. The Matte finish was nice but it didn't match the shiny pillars.

I've been wanting to Plasti-Dip my car so i did some research. There's these guys that have a website just about Plasti-Dipping. They sell different colors and finish of Plasti-Dip and have videos on their website that shows you their products.

if that link doesnt work try

Dipyourcar.com

hope this was helpful.

Nemo7

I saw this a while ago i was going to do my pilalrs but had second thoughts because that means id have to black out all my chrome.

once my grill gets beat up i am getting it painted gloss black to match my shiny pillars... But the the guy in the video sells Plasti-dip and he has a gloss coating you spray on top of the matte black plasti dip http://www.dipyourcar.com/shop/categ...aram=cid%3D%26

aduero

Hey Nemo7,
how did u paint the fob white like that??

Jbling700

Thanks for the link man. I found it funny that in order to make sale more sales, they made the paint and gloss separate. They should have black gloss, all in one instead. It's kind of annoying that you have to spray 4-6 coats with the matte finish then spray 4-6 again with the gloss. I would rather save and spend my cash on a c-mod grill but that's just me. Unfortunately, I had to remove the plasti-dip on my grill today and now the stupid chrome is back . I hate my life........

Mario66

Why not spray paint the chrome black with a few coats and then plasti-dip? Theoretically that should help with chips of scratches shouldnt it?

Nemo7

i feel ya its annoying and what makes it even worse is how shipping cost more than the product... i bought white plasti dip for $11 with shipping..

it should work but it more time and effort most people who plasti dip are not looking for it to last forever or just are looking for something temporary until they can get it painted if i had the choice id rather paint it but i do like how durable it is


took the key apart and sprayed it with whtie plasti dip

Jbling700

You plasti-dipped your spoiler?????? :eek3: How did it turn out man??? Pics?

silver7thgen

I would also like to see this. (PICS)

Would anyone be willing to ship some of this up to Canada to me? I need 3 cans of plasti dip glossifier and 3 cans of the new smoke, or silver metalizer. All of the companies I talked to just won't ship it up here. Locally, we only have the white, black, red, and clear. Send me a pm

Thank you

MaximaGuido09c

So, I can put this glossifier on my wheels even though I have my wheels plasti-dipped already?

funnyman82

What type of plasti dip is recommended for the emblems and grill? And what is the process? Just spray 3 light coats? And finish coat required?
Thx!

Ryan31

It's in a blue can with a black cap. 3 coats works fine.

Clean the emblems and grill with alcohol. Spray each coat of plastidip and let dry atleast 20-30 minutes between coats.

If you don't like it, peel it off.

jgoon1

love the dip!!!

funnyman82

Thank you

Buzzooka Joe

Yeah Im very curious how you did this. It's so little, how did you tape it off?

Video tutorial please :-D

Maxsport11

Can I use this for the chrome around the windows? Or will it not stick, I don't want it to "bleed" on to the paint.

MaximaGuido09c

It'll work for sure. IDK how well it'll hold up after washing the car, especially if you don't hand wash the car yourself. Just use blue painters tape around the areas you don't want to spray.

jgoon1

im doing my rims soon!!!!

Maxsport11

Thanks maximaguido for the tip.. I was thinking the same thing about when I wash it. Do you think getting it vynil wrapped would be better? I just don't want it to look good for a month and then it looks like garbage.. You know. There are a few places in queens I know that do the vynil but not to sure how it holds up... Thanks for the info. And the painters tape info...

Jbling700

If I were you just do vinyl. A member (Ghozt) has vinyl on his window trim and it looks awesome. It compliments his 370Z wheels. Besides, plasti-dip is too dull and to me it won't look attractive as the shiny vinyl. My best friend has vinyl roof (Black) and so far he had it for 2 years already on his TL.

Ghozt

my vinyl has held up fine for the year or so it's been on my trim

Maxsport11

Thanks guys, I think that's what I'm going to do. I think the vynil will be a better choice for the window trim. Thanks for the advice.
