Tried my hand at some Plasti Dip. (CTS-V content) New Pictures
I know, I know it's not a Ford product.
So I have seen a few Plasti Dip threads lately. I have really wanting to black out my grille for about a year now. Here is what I was able to do. I will do the side trim this weekend, and the car will be complete.
The only prep work was a simple car wash, and of course the masking off everything which didn't take to long. And also I put paper behind the grille so there wouldn't be any overspray on the radiator and intercooler. As far a supplies are concerned, I used two cans of Plasti Dip $6.99 each at any Home Depot, or Lowes. I applied Five coats. The reason so many coats, is that allows me to peel it off in one peace if I need to.
I'm very happy with the end result. It turned out very smooth and consistent texture. Let me know what you think..

Before
Masked off
Finished product.
Small Update::
Ok so listened to everyone here on SVTPerformance and took the Plasti Dip off the Wreath. I think it looks way better :beer:. I have desided that i'm going to shoot the cheap plastic brake ducts that are around the fog lights to. that way it will all match up. I havn't had time to finish the window trim yet. There just isn't enough hours in the day, and it had been alittle cold. I don't want any issues when I spray this stuff.
Sorry for the crappy Iphone 4 pictures. When i'm done I will do a proper photo shoot..
I was able to finally get around to finishing my car. I sprayed the side trim yesterday. The hardest part was masking everything off.
sorry for the crappy photos. My good camera took a crap on me. I really need to invest in a new one..
