Just used the last of the can on the license plate holder, going to go pick up another spray can and dip can for when I redo the grill. Is it easier to do the tips on the car or should I remove them and spray them?

I did mine with them on the car jut masked off about an inch around and just peeled off the over spray and they came out great.

Had it on my tips for months now. I think someone else is close to a year on the tips. Still looks perfect. I did about 4 coats on everything and I don't even have 1 rock chip anywhere. This stuff seems tougher than paint. I also go thru a car wash about once a week. Still perfect.

Ok did the tips, man I need someone with smaller fingers to get some of the oversrpay from bettween the tip and the car but it looks good. Did you spray into the tip also, I taped the inner part off so only some spray went in, might have to respray that.

It looks like theres chrome showing but thats just from the sun glare, will get some better close up pics after I go wash the car today. Also I read the thread where people blacked out the window trim with the kit for the mini, but has anyone actually tried spraying the chrome with plasti dip? I was looking this morning and it looks like it will work but was wondering if anyone has tried before I give that a shot.

As for the window trim, it is definitely possible to Plastidip it but it is a lot of work. If you don't mind meticulously taping off the entire span of the window trim and carefully peeling off the overspray then go for it! I think it would actually be a cleaner look than using the Mini Cooper tape since you won't have the overlap-look that goes with it. Either way good luck!

I did the tips on mine and after about 2 weeks it turned to powder in some spots and started falling off. I think maybe because I have the Joe Z exhaust the tips get hotter because more heat makes it out of the back without the secondary cats. I put several coats on.
