That's a 100% win in my book, and I'm a chrome kinda guy! Reps to you!

 

How did u do it

 

gotta love plasti dip. did you clear coat it aswell. if so matte or gloss

 

man that looks great super look thanks for sharing your pics with us

 

good job, reps for the mod!

 

How did u do it

Plasti-Dip. Can buy it at most home improvement stores like Lowes for about 6$ a can. Easy to use too!

I just thoroughly cleaned the area and taped it all off. Gave it about 4 coats over the course of 5 hours. I like the way the tone turned out, almost perfectly matches the plastic honeycomb grill mesh.

 

Oh yes! Mucho better!!!

 

is that a flat black bro?

 

u plastidipped ur stock wheels too?

Yes its a flat black, they do sell a gloss spray also, for over top.

Seems to me that he did. Looks pretty good too:TU:

Yeah it's a flat black, but like Velocity mentioned the people who make Plasti-dip also make a product that adds a glossy finish to the black. They also have other colors besides black. They even have a color that simulates chrome/metal flake.

u plastidipped ur stock wheels too?

Yup sure did! Was pretty easy.

Had to redo one of my wheels recently because I accidentally rubbed the wheel on a small tree stump and it damaged some of the plasti-dip. But it took about 4 minutes to peel the plasti-dip off the wheel (didnt even damage the wheel finish either!) and I just re-painted it. Stuff does a nice job of protecting whatever it covers.

Edit: Added a pic of one of the wheels.

 

Yayy, another plasti-dip success story! Congrats man looks great!

 

Nice job, it looks great!

 

I see you plasti dip it. Doesn't that peel off? how do you apply it? The only experiance I have had with that stuff is dipping my pliers.

 

Just picked up some plastidip today but its raining. Soon!

 

Did you tape off the black portion of the grill or just painted the whole thing?

Also, did you tape off the painted part of the front end with newspaper or something?

Probably will be picking up a 2012 SE soon this weekend or next week and this is one thing I am looking to do.

I taped off the entire front end of the car with painter's tape and newspaper. I used a bed sheet to cover the rest of the hood and the window incase there was some overspray (can never be too careful).

One thing you need to make sure you do is tape off all of the honeycomb inside the grill to prevent getting paint on the radiator. Also having an extremely sharp razor helped me out to make sure I got all the lines perfect.

 

Looks good to me :TU:

 

By taping off the entire .front end do you mean you also taped the headlights?. Some more detail would be appreciated. Thanks for sharing!

 

Looks great man, they just need to get rid of chrome..lol

 

And for the win...That's a great look. Plasti dip is our friend, here in the forumz.

I did when I plasti dipped my grill. I'm a novice at this stuff, though. So I taped off anything I thought I could accidentally spray, and then taped off more.
:hah:

Hah.. yep, I taped off and covered up plenty. I used the crappy bargain-brand paper towels my wife tried to pass as usable for this purpose. hehe. Bounty or nothing for paper towels in the house dangit! haha

Then taped off everything surrounding the grille and blocked the rest witih paper towels:

Definately overkill, but hey. I didn't know either, at the time. Turned out great
