Lower Bumper blackout to mimic ZL1 look? - Page 11 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Local guy has this. Looks even better in person.

Do they have the spray in other colors? I would like to see how it would look Blue to match my stripes. I think black will threw off the blue on the car!

Still no vinyl blackout? I'm not sure I can talk myself into using the plastidip as good as it looks on some of these cars.

I'm shocked nobody has made a vinyl piece like this yet, but my plastidip is holding up perfectly after many many months. It looks every bit as good and professional as my vinyl stripes.

I say take a deep breath and just do it. You'll love it. I was terrified too, but it came out great

They have other colors but not in a spray can. However I did see something at Home Depot yesterday that allows you to spray. It's an attachment that you would place on top of the jar.

hopefully be doing mine this weekend if the weather is good, cant wait

So for those of you that are also doing the border on around the grille, what tape are you using for the curves??

for everyone who has done this, how can you retouch plastidip?? I want to do this but I will be installing Stillen splitter and do not want to have to take off the whole splitter to retouch any chips, can you just spray that area??

I sprayed one of my wheels and this stuff comes off super easy. Nothing to worry about.

Not sure, but my plastidip has held up perfectly now for half a year. I get compliments on the "Vinyl blackout" all the time.

vroomapunk · 05-06-2012, 05:49 PM

did mine in plasti dip, heres the DIY. I feel to get the ZL1 look, you need to not only black out the lower lip, but the skinny painted area thats around the lower grille http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221707

This is the link to the vinyl version of this. However after reading this thread I am going to pick up some plasti dip today and give it a try.

Yeah. Plasti dip is your friend for this. I actually resprayed mine a few months back. Just retaped and spray on top of what I had. I didn't want to remove it. Came out nice again
