Plasti Dip White Diamond Front End

[jmitchell]

Yesterday I went ahead and plasti-dipped my front and rear bowties to color match the White Diamond paint, but as I was taping out the bowties I was reminded of how much extra black plastic they added to the front end of these models....so I taped those too! About 7 hours later, I've got a new look to the front end...

2nd Coat of White:


3rd & 4th Coat of White:

1st & 2nd Coat of Pearlizer:

As you can see the color isn't a perfect factory White Diamond match, but I am pretty happy with it and I'm not sure you could get the exact color with the combination of sprays that I used. It definitely looks better in daylight...

(sorry for the bugs on the bumper)

Looks great. I might just have to use that method on my fender til I can get a quality paint job on my prelude

I am definitely going to have to redo the bowties. I taped right directly around the gold bowtie keeping it completely taped off from the chrome piece and you can see how when I pulled the tape off some of the edge of the dip came with it too. Next time I will leave a small edge of the chrome showing around the gold. That edge will peel off after the tape is removed. Make sure to watch the youtube video of this being done before you start.

don't care for it... the black broke it up since the panels are not the same. If it was one big piece it might be ok...

This^. I like the bowties but the other pieces are not close enough to the correct color of white to be side by side. Have the black pieces painted in the correct color or leave black
