Blacking out the front bumper
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 10:43 pm
Basically trying to decide whether or not I should go the plasti-dip method, or a vinyl wrap, and had a few specific questions about either method I'm hoping people can assist with - I've had no experience with either. Basically want it to look like this but thinking I might make the badge white.
1. Could the afore-mentioned look be achieved with vinyl wrap, without having to take the front bumper off? I'm assuming not?
2. Looking through other threads on here, and youtube videos etc. I've noticed that some mention covering the grill, and others don't when plasti dipping. Is there any danger of some of the product going through the grill if it's not covered? If not, would you recommend plasti dipping the grill as well to ensure it's all the same black.
3. With both wrapping or plasti-dipping - would you recommend removing the chrome surrounds completely to dip/wrap, or could they be left on.
4. I assume that the same method used to de-badge a back bumper, would be the one to use to remove the front badge (so I can dip it/paint it white), and the chrome surrounds?
And I guess the main question,
5. Given I have no experience with either wrapping or plasti dip, which would you consider the easiest to do? (from all I've seen/read, i'm leaning towards plasti-dip?)
Thanks in advance
