Default Plasti dipped my deck lid

Pics below. It looks great and I bought enough to re-do it about 3-5 times if it ever starts peeling off. Ill let you all know how it holds up. Cost me about $60 with shipping for everything (including painters tape, etc.)

I tried doing mine about a month ago, it came out horrible, I think it was too cold seeing as how the temp was in the 30s. I peeled it off and may retry again when it's warmer.

I heard its bad to do it in anything below 50 degrees. Make sure you shake the cans for a minute before applying. The top part of mine didnt come out so well but that was my own fault as I messed up the taping. After I pressure wash the car I'm going to see how well it holds up and if it holds up really well I may just peel this one off and do a new one with the top looking more crisp.

Not quite sure what effect you were going for by doing just the deck lid and you can't tell very much from the pics. Nice car though...

That's all I wanted to do. I've gone through one magnetic blackout panel which was $30-40 from AM, a tough plastic one that didnt line up properly and was see through which was $40-50 and that one snapped in half, and so I figured instead of going with another item is rather paint it on. Then I learned about this plasti dip stuff and for the same price as a nice blackout panel I can get the same look as it being painted on for a fraction of the cost of actually painting it on there. I purchased 3 bottles of plasti dip, 1 bottle of the "glossifier" in case I want to make it shiny, and some pre dip spray stuff to clean the area being plasti dipped. Then from Walmart I got the painters tape and some microfiber towels... ~$60 for everything and I didn't even use 1 bottle of the stuff lol. So I have plenty left over.

It looks good. I'm a fan of S197 with spoilers, but I like how yours looks without one. Very clean!
