I did this to mine a while back but it started chipping after a while.. eventually had them painted

Is there a DIY on this? I know Steiger made a tips thread but that really doesn't help me with plastidipping the bezels. Like am I supposed to tape the part around the tabs or am I supposed to plastidip the whole thing?

Don't spray the tabs. That will make it tougher to go back in and then may never come out!!! Tape them off.

Thanks! I think I'll do them today when I get home!

jerry benavides · 04-25-2012, 03:07 PM

i didnt spray the tabs either, i held them by them and put on 3 coats and let to dry for about 4 hours

good luck!!

jmontalvo · 04-25-2012, 06:12 PM

Quick question. Would I be able to drive my car without the bezels on? I want them to cure for about 48 hours.

jmontalvo · 04-25-2012, 06:29 PM

This is just dirt, right? It's not some sort of special adhesive that if I clean, my bezels will never stay on again?

Wuiquen · 04-25-2012, 08:18 PM

Yes u can drive without bezels.. and yes thats dirt.. just clean it up

jmontalvo · 04-25-2012, 08:22 PM

Sorry for the bad lighting. Had to use the flash on my phone. Well I finally finished! Here's the end result!

Wuiquen · 04-25-2012, 08:29 PM
