Thinking of plastidipping my xm antenna any suggestions for it? Or problems with connecting to xm? White would be the color.

Is there any plasti-dip that can give me a glossy black finish?

Negative. I actually peeled the first try off cause there was a small section that didn't come out right. No damage or discoloration at all.

I did plastidip my trim around my shifter yesterday and speedo bezel. Bezel didn't turn out as well though.
I probably won't do the panels for those very reasons; too much rubbing with the arm and such.

If you don't like the bezels, peel it off and try again. I've done the trim twice already to get it right.

that's where I got the glossifier plastidip. Only place to get it I think. They will mix a custom color also I think.

I'll let you know! It's got about 6 coats; 4 plastidip and 2 glossifier plastidip so it's pretty thick.

Plastidip is matte but dipyourcar.com sells a glossifier coating that glosses it up.
