  • Plastidip grille and fog surrounds

    Plastidipped my grille and fog surrounds on a busy night shift at work Really chuffed with the outcome.

      Looks good but still prefer chrome, the combination of the red and black works well

        As AJ said, looks great on yours but personally still prefer chrome.

        I found you on Instagram btw mjholde, you should add yourself to the Instagram thread. Nice pics, I recognised the personal plate

              I really like that mate, to be honest I prefer that to the chrome.

                Yes- it is nice, and different
                I like the chrome, but the Black is good too. How much work to do it yourself?

                    Sprayed? It looks really nice, good job. Also, did you use primer?

                      I'm liking that look, I'm interested to see how long it lasts on the front of the DS3 too

                        According to Plasti dip their primer will make the coating non removable.

                        My front has been on all winter and after numerous pressure washes is not coming off at all. Pressure washing cleans it up nicely when dirty.

                          I want to get this done one day but I'd be wrapping it instead of this stuff.

                            You can remove Plasti-Dip if its been primed, it just makes it grip a bit better.
                            Just a time of waiting for the weather to brighten up.

                              With the way the regular is holding up do not see the need for the primer. OK anything can be removed if you try hard enough just beware if you use it. The dip your car guys, in their videos, consider it so hard to off that they call it permanent. What does Plasti Dip have to say about their primer?

                              "Plasti Dip peels off of most surfaces easily; with a coat of Plasti Dip Primer applied underneath, it gains a far stronger, nearly permanent grip.
                              While Plasti Dip with a Primer undercoat can be removed with a great deal of effort, the Primer itself cannot be removed from the original surface once it has dried. Please use care when applying Plasti Dip Primer."
