Hey guys I just finished plastidipping my front bumper and so far I really like the look and finish of the plastidip. Even now it's only been on for about 2 hrs but please le me know what you think or if you have any suggestions! Thanks guys

I was thinking about doing this also
I think a black front splitter would make it look more complete. It is just my opinion though do whatever you want.

Now that the plastidip is done, it's time to go furthur:

ACS Composite T2 ports and mostly, their new V6 splitter:

jeez relax with those ports already lol. looks good too man.

Lol yea I didn't think I'd be advertised to but whatever haha. This is actually the first mod I've done to the car. I was thinking of plastidipping the gills too but I don't know exactly how I would tape them right to get clean lines...any ideas?

One Sick Camaro · 07-31-2011, 03:09 PM

gills i'd prob just buy the vinyl. They would seem very hard to paint. but you can always peel it off lol

mjf1230 · 07-31-2011, 03:13 PM

Yeah...i was even thinking of hood spears using the plastidip but I'm not sure if that surface is too hot

I think acs should pay him for the massive amount of marketing he does for the company

mjf1230 · 07-31-2011, 03:56 PM

Is there any preferred way to apply this In order to make the application smoother to the touch? I noticed on the back there is one spot that is a little thicker than the rest...guess that's the beauty of plastidip. I'll just peel it off and reapply? Lol

I have heard that going in very quick coats works better. Spray, wait 30 seconds, spray a little heavier and pull tape.

No experience, just have read that on here.

Good work! Looks great

I would do under the front bumper too. Looks odd that you can see yellow down there. Other than that, nice job.
