    So I got carried away with the plastidip and decided to try out doing eyelids.

    They make a create your own color kit so you could it matched, if not, then pretty close. Bitch thing about it though is that it's not a spray. unless you pour it into a spray can and have a paint gun and compressor and all that

    just my opinion man, do a bhlm and if you do eyelids with plastidip, as mentioned before try to color match. i personally think sleeper eyelids look best since they match the lines on the grill. thats whats fun about plastidip tho, you can just peel it right off :D

    Anyone ever tried to paint on top of plastidip? I could get some color matched paint and mask it off again and hit it with that? Then I still have peel it off option.

    Don't think it'll work like that. Paints can create a seal and end up sealing the plasti-dip so you won't be able to peel it off. If you color match, best bet would be to strip the plasti-dip, prime it, then paint, then clear coat if you want to

    not because of color match. . . . because the eye lids freak me out a bit. cars seem to look more like people every day. soon they will be autonomous, and take over the world. . . . .

    i saw a vw beetle the other day with eye-lashes. very, very creepy. doing lids on the trucks doesn't look bad, whether black or matched, but yes, indeed, very creepy. someone said mascara

    Ok Iv heard and agree with a lot of these points, My make shift eyelids/lashes/brows are off and I will be ordering some color matched ones.

    No harm in trying right.

    Can you still peel it off like plasti-dip though? I've heard about people using plasti-dip then painting over it but they could no longer peel it off cause of the paint creating a seal...guess it depends on the type of paint?:confused:
