Plastidip'd bezels white... turned out great!

So I don't think I've seen this before on the forum and I searched... but here are some white plastidipped bezels.

Word of caution on anyone who wants to do this: I did this with a friend, he did black, I did white. He did 3 coats, I did 6. I don't know how to explain it but the white plastidip is a LOT harder to work with than the black. I really don't know how to explain it but I've done a bunch of white plastidip and black plastidip, and in my experience black plastidip just seems a better product. It just doesn't mess up as much.

Anyways, here's the picture, I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me! Got a lot of compliments in the 48 hours of having this:

I've seen it (white painted bezels) on here before and I think it looks good! Especially on that color of car. Nice job.

Thanks! Yeah I saw painted white bezels but not plastidipped white bezels.

Now I'm just waiting on getting my NS1 Stripes (Gloss white) to get here and installed and I think it's going to look amazing!

I've used the white plasti dip and you're 100% right in saying that it's more difficult to use. When I did red, I was able to do my entire interior with less that 2 cans. I then decided to do white and I was only able to do 1/2 of the plasti dipped pieces with 2 cans. Then I changed my mins again and decided to go back to red and I was able to re do all the white pieces in red with a little more than 1/2 a can of red.

Also I like the bezels on your car! I feel like it would pop a bit more if you plasti dipped the chrome part of the bowtie and made the center black. Maybe even tint the tail light bezels as well.

Yeah the white is definitely weird compared to the others... and over here it's 9 dollars a pop so quite expensive too! I'm thinking about plastidipping the chrome, but not sure. But as for the black and tint, I don't think I'm going to go that route because I don't want the whole white/black thing. I want a blue/white/with a splash of orange thing LOL!

Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks I hope so! But it might be a while because I need to get about 300-400 dollars for a professional to install it. I just want the stripes to be perfect, so I'm not going to do them myselves.... but when it does happen, I'll post it here for sure! Stay on the lookout!
