Freshly Dipped max

So I couldn't find anything about mixing flakes straight into black dip so I tried it and I think it came out good. The flakes are still visible I got them from paintwithpearl.com I did matte Black and green metallic flake. Tell me what u think

First time I seen a whole entire max plastic dip. I feel that you need to put more color to it. Any color, just to make it unique. I like the black, but make it stand out !

Don't get me wrong, I love the detail of it, but maybe make a racing line across the car, or even add different colors to little parts, so it can stand out.

Nice work. This is new, so kudos for doing something different. It all comes down to your personal taste... How would I make it better? I would try another color for contrast with the black... matte white, red or yellow... And some darker tints.

I like it, although my take is that you should've left your exhaust the same! Also
I would have tinted the tail lights instead of plasti-dipping them. Great job tho. I'm scared as hell to do something like this

looks good..u should def add another color. look at the Clear plastic dip, if you go over the matte black it comes out with grey highlighted areas and soften the black up. i did it on my grill on another car and looks amazing. you could do the sides with the clear, just 1-2 lite coats. also the metalizer silver looks great. You should use that on the Hood and trunk, the flakes glisten alot in the sun. i used that on a set of rims with matte black under coat..adds a silver flake to the paint

here is a pic of the Flame grills i did. I used 3 coats matte black, then 2 light coats of Clear plastidip.

I like the batman logo on your trunk. Good touch! Car looks good, I personally wouldn't dip my entire car for the worry of maintaining it over the years/seasons, however you did a great job and props for doing this!

@gurule, I like it. It's different, catchy, and very daring. I saw a Lexus IS done like that. I like the look of things that are matte finish instead of glossy. Since everything is black, I would recommend adding chrome somewhere. If not that, maybe adding color to the calipers or your decals. I'm sure it looks sick at night! You should post a night picture with all the lights on. I bet you can't even see it at night. Nice job, though.

It's not talking $&@: it's called having an opinion. That's why the OP posted pictures of his car

Not my style, but I certainly appreciate what you did. It does have a unique and cool look to it.
The matte look is pretty tight. I probably wouldn't have gone with green fleck as it's pretty subtle, but what is important is that YOU like it because YOU have to live with it.
