    Thanks man, yea the eyelids do look alittle off with the grill. The plastidip came out more of a flat black, but its temporary until i get it color matched and do the satoshi mod.

    Thanks!

    Thanks bro, yea just take your time and dont rush it. I did one light first coat, then the second i tried to hit all the small hard to get areas. Third coat was pretty heavy and since it dried so fast i went for the 4th coat and it looked great.

    It looks great. I can't get a can of that stuff anywhere here in my city. I think its harder to get in Canada

    My only concern would be how well it'll hold up down there. But it looks really good

    If I can ever find some cans I'll be doing this :)

    Looks good, not a huge fan of the eyelids either though. Or the tinted tails. But that's just me!

    Can't believe plastidip is so cheap in the US... here it's $20 a can (tax included).

    I did mine too. im surprised how durable it is. I just pressure washed my truck and the plastidip stayed on even with the nozzle about 10" away from the rim itself. Looks great man.
