Lmao I like it back on. The plasti-dip smoke is not the best, I put like 20 coats on mine and it just turned them matte grey, nothing like nightshade, which is what I thought it would be, like a peelable version.Welp that didn't last long lol. All of 3 days. Lol
Peeled off great tho

Then I changed my mind and put it back View attachment 186817
I seen a guy use one coat of plastidip black and a couple of gloss on top and they looked decent and were actually dark. This smoke never really gets dark. Just gray and more blurry lol.Lmao I like it back on.

Ive seen videos of people doing the black and gloss, but unlike the smoke its not an actual translucent product like the smoke is, thats why it doesn’t cover as well.I seen a guy use one coat of plastidip black and a couple of gloss on top and they looked decent and were actually dark.

I'm lightly niteshading my tails next.
Thanks man!
And only Denalis and escalades come with those side covers. Just the covers alone really clean up the engine bay imo. I bought mine off a member on here.
Post up pics of yours.
Not surprising, but this is EXACTLY what I had planned for my center caps. Which colors did you use?This was my latest dip project:

It can get a little tricky with taping/peeling. I experimented a bit, which is one of my favorite things about the dip. Try it, peel it, try again. I found that the best way to get a sharp edge is to lay it on good and thick, and peel your tape while it's wet. Otherwise the stuff sets up over your line, and the whole shootin match will come up with the tape. You can tape over once it's dry, and peel without a problem. In this case, I taped and did the whole bow tie red with one heavy coat and peeled the tape right away. After the red dried, I taped to the smaller section, and did the same thing with the black. I also used the Duplicolor Custom Wrap gloss clear over the top of the whole cap at the end. Turned out pretty well.
