Paint & Body Work - Going to pull the trigger on the CETA mod tomorrow, Advice please!

So I'm off work tomorrow and I have planned to finally pull the trigger on the CETA mod for my WS6. I am planning on using Plasti-Dip so that I can remove it at anytime if need be.
So with all that being said the point of this thread is to ask for advice from anyone who has done this and have a few pointers before I start. I assume I will just need Semi-Gloss black, newspapers, and tape.... then a lot of time. haha

I sanded mine with some really fine grit, then primed painted, did not clear it for the flat look. Since youre using plasti dip just make sure the surface is clean, wax and grease free, mask it of and paint it. If you dont like it peel it off. Best of luck

Most of it will be prep, as long as its clean and taped off painting it should be easy.

Sounds easy enough, I hope it turns out to be that smooth tomorrow. lol
I'll be sure yo update with some pictures for everyone.

I might do it with my vette, not sure yet. Goodluck tomorow, for sure post the pics.

i waxed my mini ceta mod area , it will come off easier , im not sanding my car and then having sand marks under it .

Very good point about the sand marks.... If i just wipe the prep area down with Rubbing Alochol do you think that will be a good medium between sanding and waxing? or should I postpone and wax before i paint the CETA mod?

In the middle of coat #1 and waiting before I apply coat#2.... The Plasti-Dip looks almost flat black, Should I clear coat on top of it? I'm worried if i do that then i wont be able to remove it if need be.... Witch was the point of using plasti dip. Anyone know if I can or not?

do 4 coats or 3 and then if you wanna do something paint over the plastidip , i think it will looks good satin/flat . But you can paint over it . Also when i do my 4th coat just after i sprayed it i pulled the tape . I had a friend that waited and it pulled some dip .

Oh shoot, thanks for the tip about pulling the tape, thats good to know for sure!
I will be adding coat #3 here soon and then see what its looking like. =D

yeah 3-4 depending on how heavy you did it Take some pics.

I stoped at 3 coats... The tape was stuck to the Plasti a slight bit so i just gently ran a razor along the line to seprate the two and It worked like magic! There is one spot in the left corner where the plasti got me :( but other than that it looks awesome I'm working on getting my pics uploaded for everyone.

i'm a n00b to this forum, what exactly is the CETA mod?

CETA= Collectors Edition Trans Am. Also known as the Yellow TA's with all the black accent! haha :) Ill post a pic in like 4 min and show you how it looks.

This is the after picture

Looks great

Looks good man, car looks great too man.

Thanks, I really am happy on how it turned out. I am a little surprised at how much it accents the rear end. I guess its because ive never seen the CETA on any TA here in town (or in person) but dang I looks good on our cars! haha

Touche' RAMAIRETRANSAM, on the flat black comment. I like it flat.

Good job! Think that'd look great with some tinted tails! I might have to give that a shot this weekend now lol

Great job 02WS6_Publix! Definitely can tell you spent a lot of time in it. :cheers:

Ya know its ironic that you would say that, I figured going into it all that this would take me 1 1/2 hours-2 hours max....... Well I couldn't have been anymore wrong. lol It took a total of 4 hours from the begining of prep, all the way until I was cleaned up. :huh:

Not sure if im just REALLY slow, or if I was trying to make it perfect but at the end of the day I love the new look! =D

Yeah I just lightly sanded after taping off the area, and then did 1 coat black primer, 3 coats of flat black and called it a day. It still looks fine 3 years later. :)
