I wish I was confident enough to try PlastiDip. I'm going to step out of my comfort zone and try to use VHT NightShade for the first time on my turn signals.
No problem. It looks good.
Lol. Yeah same here with the plastidip, that's why I tried it on the trunk first. Go for it, you can always buy new ones from AM.
Yep, I work for a graphics shop and I used a piece of scrap matte black wrap material to do mine. I popped off the fake gas cap and put on the wrap. Then I cut away the wrap under the fake gap and placed it back on with new 3M tape.
I dig it and for only the price of the 3M tape I am VERY happy with it!!
Good God why didn't I think of that? Just last week a co-worker and I were discussing how profitable a vehicle wrapping business would be with as many full body wraps as you see all over the place now. I don't want flat black though I want glossy black. So that's a $50 bill for parts and labor?
We do wraps at my shop and the business is cutthroat. There are probably 7 shops within 20 miles of our shop that do wraps. Everyone is trying to undercut everyone to get the business. Wrap material, lamination and solvent inks for the printer are NOT cheap at all. After you pay for materials, labor and inks, you will be lucky to make very much profit. Wraps are VERY cool and if you have the right client that is wanting to do several wraps you can do ok. Banners are where the real money is.

How easy (difficult) would it be to do that for someone (me) who's not experienced? I did manage to put the vinyl tint on my taillights myself and I'm actually impressed that they didn't turn out like $hit seeing as how I'd never done any vinyl before.

It isn't that difficult, you just have to take your time and use a hair dryer to heat the wrap material to get it to lay down right. It was easy for me but I have put a lot of vinyl on different surfaces. If you go to a wrap shop they should be able to do it for pretty cheap.
