So my wife gave me a can of plastidip for Easter. I'm thinking about painting the rear valance between the tailights. Has anyone done this? How's it holding up? Any pics?

The valence or faux cap? I painted the faux cap and its holding up great.

i thought i'd be a genius and tried it and brag about how much money i just saved on a black out panel. ended up buying a piece of vinyl instead. at least i still saved a boatload of money over the plastic ones. I cant paint worth a damn. lol
the good thing is, if you screw it up, just peel it off, like it was never there.

good Q, I thought you meant the rear valance at first (I'd like to see pics of that if anyone has done that along with side skirts too, with plastidip).

MMD and CDC seem to be the solid decklids out there, but at $120 for formed plastic.. I'd give a plasti-dip decklid a try (shoulda just tried that when I did my faux cap...).

Yeah, sorry, the decklid panel. I think I am gonna try this this weekend as the wife is out of town, so I can have the garage.

Throw up some pics when you do, I'd be interested in how it comes out. Getting that top edge is going to be crucial.

Will definitely post some picks. Gonna pick up some Frog Tape, supposed to prevent bleed. I'm pretty good with pinstriping, so I should be able to lay a straight line across the rear. Wish me luck!

its not stock but u can atleast see how the finish looks, i did that about 2 months ago and its holding up fine same thing for my rims and spoiler i did too and no probs

Nice acona46. I'm not sure if I want to tint the tails or not... I REALLY would like some aftermarket 2013 style. Also on the fence about plastidipping the wheels; I have the 19" stock 5 spokes.

2013 lights would look great with the red parts tinted
