Cajun ELESS-ONE

Today I got around to painting my faded lid (looked real bad.) It was real easy. I messed up the first time because I got particles in the paint(painted outside) All i did was peal it off haha. Love this stuff. Second try was inside and much better. Put in back on the car and the radiator support looked like poopoo. Soooooo I painted that too. Did some touch up paint in other places while I was there. Looks alot better. Yes my car is dirty, damn pollen, but the pics show the progrss. Considering putting some kind of logo/decal on the lid where the SLP was. What yall think??

Cajun ELESS-ONE

this was the first time i have used it. its almost idiot proof lol. now i wanna paint everything with it lol

sick_tight

I did my Berger panel, wheels, fog inlets, front catfish mouth, spare tire compartment since I relocated my battery in there and its chemical resistant in case of spilliage and fumes.

and its going on a year old and holding strong

You sure it can hold up to the heat?

sick_tight

the only thing that could potentially get hot I guess is the wheels for me and they are holding strong, many people have been painting their wheels with this stuff. its just the same thing as the coating on the handles of tools. idle about under the hood but I think an intake would be fine

Cajun ELESS-ONE

guess i will find out lol

I think the plastidip will hold for a while. Looks good though.

How does plastidip handle carwash soap and such? I'm going to be painting my TA bumper (CETA) whenever the nice weather rolls in and I have always wondered how it will hold up to washes?

You can actually plasti-dip your exhaust tips! It can handle a good amount of heat actually. Go on their website and watch a couple of their vids... good info there

i painted my rims and friends rims, i have my berger panel painted and my catfish mouth and fog inlets painted with the stuff and its held up to plenty of car washes. this stuff is amazing

Awesome. Thanks. Just hope it's not one of those things that fade after a few washes. I tend to wash my car(s) more than I should. Can't stand the thought of someone seeing them dirty, lol.

I use a damp microfiber towel to wipe the plastidip and it works great

sick_tight

if it starts to fade throw some tire shine on them haha. but seriously mine havent faded for almost a year now.

Cajun ELESS-ONE

tire shine. thats a pretty good idea lol

I've been tempted by what I've read else where to paint my whole car with the stuff as a cheap alternative to vinyl wrap.

Well I finally decided to take the chance. Had a somewhat warm day and went for it:

BEFORE:
TAPED OFF:
FINISHED PRODUCT:

There are some places I'm not happy with and I don't think you can really see in the pics, so once the really nice weather sets in I think I'll pull it off and re-do this job again. But overall it really brings a TA to life in my opinion.

looks good sir
