Have a mock up of the condenser screen?Also thinking of doing the bumper screen for the condenser in red. Not sure if both would be too much or I should do one or the other.

Idk if I like the red screen behind the honey comb grille. I think it would look good if you dipped the whole black honey comb part red. But then again it might be too much red lol
I like the plain silver screen, but the red just looks unnatural IMO.

Both home depots and the lowes around me are sold out of plasti dip in black! everyone is doing there rims now! The women who worked there asked my why we don't just use a can of spray paint jajaja. Then NAPA wanted over 11 dollars a can! I can't believe it, I told the guy that HD sells it for under 6 a can! he just shruged his shoulders and went back to his computer screen

That's hott, I don't like shiny, I like that murdered out look.When I change the steering wheel emblem overlay on my car, I'm also thinking about dipping the silver trim on the steering wheel black like the FD2.

you'd dip it inside the car? does that grey piece just pop off? I tried wrapping mine the other day and failed miserably. lol I was tired though and worked an overnight shift the night before and got no sleep that day.

The lighting of the camera usually gives the shiny look. But it will be a flat black color like how it normally looks.
I'm going to remove the steering wheel and disassemble it. I have a steering wheel remover so it wouldn't be a pain.

My friend and I went up to the automotion car show in Wisconsin dells this past weekend. She plasti-dipped her entire car! She HAD a gray GTI. It's now white and from what I understand this is one of the harder colors to apply as it is thin. She did a phenomenal job and was a hit at the show. This is the only pic I have of it:

White is a hard color to apply but if base coats of gunmetal are put on first it becomes a lot easier

Are those coats of gunmetal easy to get off? I'm under the impression plasti dip can be removed easily. Wouldn't applying those base coats defeat the purpose?
