I mean really, it's been played out and has ruined black for me. Please give it a rest.





Sincerely,

My Eyes.

Nah, it's okay when done discretely, or to delete chrome and what have you. But when you see one car with plastidipped wheels, hood, roof, plastics, center console, badges and lights... it gets a bit much.

It's fairly expensive over here in Perth @ $39.00 a can and we only have two retailers who stock it.

I black out my rear two windows on the wagon [sorry Tom], it looked cool from the outside but not so good on the indide, the best part it just peeled off.

But it gave me an idea to remove the glass and to blank it off when i get to the painting stage....

I was going to plastidip my entire cracked CF hood, but did this instead. To make HKC cry.
