I guess it looks pretty good but I'd be too damn nervous to attempt a project like that!

I noticed you did the 2013 style tail lights with the plasti dip too. But honestly i would never plasti dip my car. The texture of the paint is just too awkward. I think it would only look good from far away

That was me who posted the thread about 2013 tails.
And my car looks perfectly smooth. No texture or weird striping at all.

How did you get it to look so smooth? I tryed out your tail lights idea but it ended up looking bumpy and cheap. Maybe I'm just bad with plasti dip haha

Well, I mean... It doesn't look bad at all. But it couldn't have been cheap right? I would imagine this is a temporary thing, as rock chips are going to ruin it.

Personally, I haven't had a very good experience with the dip. I had to wait about a month and a half before my chin spoiler's plastidip hardened (became rock solid after that, but I still had it painted because fixing chips with plastidip seemed really difficult).
