Rubber shadowline paint

[Psyops]

So this stuff is definitely cool. I did the lip with everything taped everything off, and I was pretty disappointed with the results. The problem was that it peels up very easily with the tape and doesn't leave very clean lines around the edges (even though I used a razor blade to try to make a clean cut). So I peeled it all off, took off the lip and sprayed it over again. I should have pics tmw.

I'm half tempted to do my RM's with this stuff until I can afford some new lips and what not anyway. My stock lips are pretty trashed, so this might look pretty good until I have some time and money.

All this chit-chat and no pictures...

very disappointed.

So I went to Home Depot and got some of this stuff this morning and did my iS lip with it. I'll be moving to the chrome bits later in the day. I'll post-up when it's finished. I would definitely tape off- for wheels I'd do the index cards. I think it would still be a mess even if does just peel off.

Does it rank up there on the fun-o-meter with smearing Elmer's Glue all over your hand, letting it dry, and peeling it off?

I used to do this all the time in school as a kid. Its the first thing i thought of when Josh made that post.

It's soooooooooo fun.

That being said, I'm doing this to my wheels before i put them on. Just waiting on spacers, so i'll have pics next week.

So, do you think I don't need to tape off the tires before spraying???????? It'll just peel off after it dries?

over at MKV Forums Plasti Dip is widely used and known.. Here is a link of a thread where some rims were 'dipped'

Pics? How did it turn out on the shadowlining?

[Jand3rson]

All I know is I didn't even mask nearly as much when I did the other side of my car, I just peeled off the overspray. I don't know about long term effects on the paint.

wow, this thread made my night.

things I plan on plasti-dipping:
1.) 15" weaves
2.) shadowline trim
3.) all the other trim
4.) is lip

question: is it best to remove the trim first? or not a huge difference if you leave it on?

now here is an interesting idea im thinking of doing. is it a bad idea to do it over your actual paint? because I think it would be baller if i checker-boarded my roof (red/black) with this stuff
(maybe not leave it on for more than a few days/weeks, but it would be cool to put on for a couple weeks in the summer for shows and what not; the idea that you can just peel if off is borderline ridiculous...groupbuy on bulk orders amirite?)

thoughts? comments?

This is kind of like liquid electrical tape. How does the shade of black look compared to SEM trim black?

I would say the match is very close. The plastidip might be very slightly darker as well as having a bit more texture.

Wow. This thread sounds like an informercial, but i think i may try the shadowline. BTW josh, pix!

haha it really does! but this stuff sounds like the shit, i gotta give it a try on the kidneys. If only i had all pieces of my chrome trim...

[TexasTerp]
