Plasti-Dipped Front OK ?

Postby duncs65 » Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:01 am

What do you guys think
1 Original Chrome
2 Red Electrical Tape (to get an idea)
3 Plasti Dip Chrome and bottom for an Evo Look

I'm thinking 3 is great (even though I do say so myself).

Definitely #3 - it ties everything together and continuing onto the bottom lip looks so much nicer.
Also a fan of the plasti-dipped front Mitsu emblem!
Nice, clean job!

Yep it was easy the chrome basically masks itself you just have to go around outside it and leave enough overspray to pull off after. Inside of the grill was trickier as there are changing depths etc.

But I just winged it using the masking tape from the chrome to the bottom. You have to use a blade (scalpel) to make sure the dip separated from the masking tape for the lip, as it wants to cling to it as you may know from using it on other areas.

By the way I was born in Dundee on the other side.

Thanks Rusty
