WhiteMonster06 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Really happy with the dip, grill and rims. Nice job! Can't see the wheels too well in that lighting, but I doubt it looks bad lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbs Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I tried the dip tint for tails and I didnt like it. It was too matte of a finish and just looked dirty. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodybarbera Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 the Plasti Dip smoke looks pretty bad in my opinion. that's why I just use regular black dip. one coat and it looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk That's what I'm afraid of for mine, I want a nice gloss finish that doesn't look dirty and isn't too dark, just a light smoke tint.

If you do a single light coat of black dip and then 4-5 coats of glossifer you'll get the look you're looking for. Plasti Dip is such a wonderful product for the car enthusiast world.... especially when on a budget and it's very forgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/05/y7unureh.jpg I tested it out on an old set of s10 tails I had laying around. left is no tint then the right is 1 coat of black with I believe 5 coats of glass. they turned out really nice. and it peeled right off. It's not that it's terrible, but, it doesn't look that great. I wouldn't want it on my car. Can you buff it smooth so that it looks like an actual smoke job, ala nightshades, or will it always be orange-peely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodybarbera Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 well, it might not look perfect and smooth, but when the red and blue lights are behind you, it might save you from getting a ticket because it'll peel off. and then if that ever happens, you can just redo them the next day. maybe it's just me, but id rather be able to save a couple hundred dollars by not having something look exactly "perfect" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatentWagen Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Until you get rear ended because the old lady behind you can't see through your hellacoo niteshadez. And then the insurance company sues for the liability FWIW, I think the lights looked better before the tint. LW's spec. B / YT / IG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteMonster06 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yeah I don't want to attract any po po attention or get rear ended by someone not paying attention. I just want a very light tint to the tails so they're not super bright like the stockers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteMonster06 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Got em done. Didn't use the gold, I'm digging the black. Plus, I've heard gold rattle cans are a PITA to get right. So here it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteMonster06 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 It took me so long to do because my crazy old neighbor and his buddy walked by when I started and talked to me for HOURS about guns, cars, and how much they think Obama and Democrats are the devil.
