Best place to get a decal for the front bumper to be blacked out? Or should i get it painted instead?5

Plastidip?

Sirwestofash · 07-24-2012, 11:58 PM

If vinyl then gloss black or matte black to go with my SIM paint?

Matte black

Plastidip is cheap and easy, $7 for a can at Home Depot. Easy to remove too.

I have some matte black vinyl and a can of plasti dip laying around. Ive been thinking of doing this mod wiyh vinyl but my question is, do you cover all of the bottom part (top to bottom) of the bumper? Or just do the front part that is visible standing in front of it? A pic showing both would be greatly appreciated

Bigworm Graphics if you want vinyl but I would say a roll of blue painters tape and a can of plasti dip will do the trick for you!

Do the whole bumper bottom and all. It looks more complete that way imo because it's easy to see that it doesn't go down all the way from most angles, especially on brighter colored cars. I didn't focus too much on the bottom for mine, so it probably looks messy if I were to stand under it with light shining on it; but for the most part it looks great from a normal person's point of view.

Here's mine before the accident. Have to redo it now, but i loved the look. This was about 90 minutes total, and half a can of plastidip.
