I wonder if this will work on body panels? Hmmm.

We did my nephews GTI with it. Looks awsome. We used like 20 cans though but it came out better than a rattle can paintjob. Alot better.

This could be a great alternative to winter rims. Although if it worked at protecting the rims it would become a yearly ritual

Like, the whole car?
I was thinking about using this instead of buying those vinyl stick on black outs for the LS7 look.

This would be a much better option than the way i was gonna do it. I was gonna sand and prep them then paint. I like the reversible part.

SwedeandBlondie · 01-13-2011, 10:22 PM

Where'd you find the paint?

Did a quick search in Google for "Plasti dip spray". Says they have it at O'Reilly and Ace Hardware. I would imagine you could find it locally at an Auto Parts store.

So does this have a rubber consistency? Please post pics when they are mounted.

Avalnch · 01-14-2011, 12:07 AM

They look nice, no doubt about it.

However, won't the rubberized paint on the lug nut surfaces reduce or hinder the affectiveness of a properly torqued nut? The paint must not be that good for fasteners. It's like having a thin rubber washer between your nut and surface?

cool

can't wait to see how long it lasts and the pics once you mount them should be awesome.
