Default PlastiDip Facia
I was wondering what my white GXP would look like with the facia painted black, so I picked up som PlastiDip to test with. I think it turned our pretty good, but will probably take it off in a few days.

I did my rear bumper with plastisol about a month ago, but don't have any pics. Came out better than the vinyl I had on there.

I like the look of that.

Yeah, I had thought about painting in the housings too. I had photoshopped a few designs and figured with the PlastiDip, I could try one with no worries.

Yeah, that would look good. I think I would need to remove the platidip and then put the chin spoiler on. Otherwise the spoiler may pull the PlastiDip off.

I am really liking the look with the PlastiDip right now, so I may look at having it professionally painted to make it permanent.

Yep, used isopropyl alcohol on the bumper and rubber piece. Also used about 3/4" wide 3M tape, had to double it up too because there wasn't enough surfac area exposed to hold it up. tape to tape side stayed together and it stayed on the car pretty well, but was peeling off the rubber.
