Pearl and white plasti dipped my Mirrors as "test attempt" before I do my CF doors to match the panda paint theme. Turned out pretty good. It is very weird stuff, the first time I tried applying plasti dip it did not turn out so well... u lay it down totally different then real paint. I used the pearl plasti dip on my trim to test it out, and see if it will work on the rest of the car, seemed to work

Godspeed screamer pipe came in today. 




Going to install it tomorrow and paint the doors peal white with plasti dip. 


Made a little Intro Video




Plasti dip fail... I dont know what is up with this stuff.... I used to really hate it, looks funky, seems cheap... But when done right it can look pretty decent. But it seems to be the luck of the draw whether it will turnout or not... I am giving it one more chance. I am Not too happy with the first coat of plasti dip... looks uneven, had a few runs... just all around shitty... I will order 2 more cans and re attempt this. After that I am Over plasti Dip forever.


10ft rule lol



ugly close up



At least my ebrake matches nice.... 


Well tons of coats later...


Still looks horrible






a little better




Oh no paint on my mirror




This part is convenient



ok 3 cans lol on one half a door!!! I think its cause its white trying to cover over black, why it sucks so much.











I still dont really like it... just is not even and smooth as paint... seems funky. but hey I can just pull it off, when I am ready to send it off to a real paint shop.
