Rubber shadowline paint

[Jand3rson]

It really is. The color is a little washed out because of all the light coming in from the garage door being open, but it is really deep black. And very tough. I sprayed it on a piece of extra chrome trim I had laying around, and whacked it several times with a screwdriver blade, and it didn't even marr up until about the 4th time I hit it.

So my plans are as follows for my wheels.

-clean with soap and water
-dry
-insert cards all the way around
-paint
-after it dries, use razor blade to cut at bead before removing cards.

Sound good? Should I wipe down with anything else before painting?

Don't even bother masking the tire. This stuff just peels/rubs off. It will be especially easy to remove the overspray from the rubber tire. You'll just be wasting your time.

norcal, the side trim does come off, but you will have to replace several of the clips before you can put it back on, and it's VERY easy to bend this shit. Once you bend it, it's garbage. Just do it on the car.

Anyone done this on the rear decklid spoiler? I've had some of this stuff for years and used it on the interior trim on my WRX with good results.

couple thoughts on what this stuff could replace:

1)rear plate-fillers. just spray this stuff over your paint! peel it off when you dont want it anymore.

2)lamin-x. i see there is a clear. spray on your headlight/foglight lenses.

3)vinyl car graphics. just mask, spray with appropriate color, viola! instant hood motorsports flag. maybe some some ///m pinstripes?

4)blue painters tape. going on a long road trip? coat the front edges of your fenders/hood/valance with this stuff.

sorry i was slacking today but in the morning im gonna take some pics i actually like the plasti-dip on the hood

[Jand3rson]

I'm going to try doing a fender of my pickup that has bad paint with it and see how long it holds up.

[jintermont]

i am probably going to get flamed for this, but i was bored while doing some body work today and i had 3 cans of the stuff and well i sprayed my hood panda style it came out ok but i will most likely peel it off soon i will post pics tomorrow

[kamotors]

washed the car, the front spoiler and splitter are both plasti dipped, tomorrow I'm going to do the skirts.

Yeah, it's definitely kind of a pain if you're doing a ton of masking. I found it easier to just mask lightly and rub off the overspray, or just take off what you're painting, like side moldings.
