Plasti-Dip

[Gkdolla]

Did some plasti-dipping today. I hated the front chrome grill. And I hated not being able to debadge the rear hatch. So I plasti dipped them today. I also did the "hockey stick" window trim. I left the lower portion chrome still just to see how it'll look. It's not too bad, but I'll end up dipping that as well. Anyway, here's some pics.

Do you have the adaptive cruise control? Cause I tried to take off the front emblem from behind the grill...and it was a pain...I just gave up and I'll try another day when I have more time.

plasti-dip looks great, good job.........but what's that black line in the lower front panel (red ovals) at first I thought maybe it was just a shadow line, but it's there in both pictures? is that a crack ?

Water drip. I had washed it a lil while before I started.

Heck yea man,nice Impala!!

The Plasti Dip does look good as well. Big Improvement over factory IMO. Thanks for sharing. Continue to enjoy your whips...

What do you mean not being able to debadge the back? I was thinking of debadging mine, but now I am concerned.

There are holes behind the skyactive badge and also the cx5 badge....and I'm sure the Mazda emblem also....

No, I didn't put clear... Just did 4 coats of PD. I did the same on my Mazda 6 and it held up just fine for over 2 years.

hi! I know this is a super late post, but I just bought me a CX-5, love it.

I want to plasti-dip the badges, but, I was wondering if you took your badges off to dip or whether you dipped them while on the car?

Is it easy to take them off, dip them and then put them back on?

It's so nice. Same you I hated chrome, I will to do that on my white CX-5 as well.

I love the way my emblems came out. I used 6 coats of black and 3 coats of glossifier. It was well worth the $13 and two hours of easy work.
