Places to get vinyl for blacked out bowties? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Is there anywhere that I can go that sells just sheets of vinyl for my bowties? I want to try blacking the rear one out before I decide whether to keep it on or take it off. I already tried Hobby Lobby and Wal-Mart, neither sell any.

Go to a local sign shop and ask for a sample, I got min for $0.

I bought a 2X3ft sheet off eBay. For like $5 or something, really cheap.

I initialy had vinyl on which I bought from ebay (some auto vinyl)

I recently removed it and used plasti dip to spray both bowties as I wanted to hide all the chrome. the advantage of plastidip is that you can peel it off if you want to go back to stock. The stuff is pretty durable and gives the flat black look that I was looking for. The only PITA was that I had to remove the bowties, spray them with plastidip and then remount them, wasn't too much of an issue though.

The plastidip aerosols can be bought at Home depot or Louws etc and cost around $5-7 per can. No prep work required other than a quick clean of the surface and spray away - love the stuff.

I agree! I used the plasti dip spray and love it!! It was easy and is very durable!! I'll post pics when I get a chance.
