here's a update...painted 2 coat already and just waiting for another 45min to spray the 3rd coat. I am going to give it a total of 4 coat. I started at 9:45am, hopefully another hr or so i be done but im not rushing it.

I took these pictures with my phone so sorry if the picture look a little too blurry.

 

Looks good man, i did mine and it came out great... i did the grill also. BTW it doesnt take 45 min to dry mine was good after 15 min its very quick.

**** Double check and make sure you spray up under the bottoms of the emblems, its easy to miss in some of the areas on the bottom because you are above and spraying from the top.

 

finally is finish......best $6 i ever spent! this a must for people not wanting to pay $200 for the black chrome from lexus! going to work on the grill next weekend, still have plenty plasti dip left. The reason why i waited 45min for each coat is i just want to take my time and not rushing it. I want it done right the first time with everything i do to my car. You can open your trunk to chest level and spray it, so much easier.

 

Damn now that is dedication. It took me 1 hour to do 4 coats.

 

thanks guys.. Anyone paint there roof yet? I saw the youtube vid of the rims being done.. whats the longevity and durability of this stuff? seems like it would hold up pretty good..

 

Weird i never seen this thread before. Looks pretty good. Guess this is some kind of a project in a week or two. Now time to look for this plastidip.

I have an update for y'alls:

I plastidipped my Prius 3 months ago thanks to this awesome thread. It's holding up awesomely even around the 'hybrid' badge edges where I left it colored blue. I also left the inside of the Toyota 'T' filled it rather than peeling it off. Made it look kinda like a batman symbol. Anyways, a month ago I decided to peel off the inside of the 'T' on the front emblem hoping to preserve the rest of black emblem. It was a bit difficult because peeling off the inside pulled the badge part with it. So I ended up having to remove the whole thing. However, it was a clean remove and did not leave any residue on my paint, even after 2 months of being stuck on there. The verdict is plastidip is great stuff.

As far as Plastidipping the roof, my concern would be discoloration (since your roof is directly under the sun). Also your paint would not discolor evenly with the car, so if/when the plastidip comes off/discolors, you'd have to restore the roof with another wrap.

 

Can't you just finish it off with a clear coat layer then?

 

thanks for the update..

 

Doing the emblems on my blk 93sc right now...i will have some pics up shortly...

 

im thinkin of doing my rear emblems and front grill this weekend, does anyone know if i have to remove the entire front bumper to get the grill off or can i remove it fairly easy..im nervous about breaking something on my 11.
