Getting ready to Plasti Dip Rear Diffuser
Wish me luck ! Starting to get her prepped. I am going to mask off the exhaust next and start spraying.
I plan on spraying about a half inch away from the line and peeling back. We'll see how it comes out. If it sucks, I'll peel it off.

Thanks.. I am sure I will like the look. Getting a straight line is what I am more worried about. I am super picky so if the line doesn't come out perfect I will start over.

Woah!!! that's alot of masking you have to do lol~
I strongly suggest that you put a ball of paper in the exhaust because Plasti dip is a extremely flammable product and also cover the exhaust tips because the tips gets so hot 320 degrees++ that which make the dip dry and will be PITA to take off~ 2 Years of Dip experience, Your Welcome~

Here are the final results. The straight line across came out perfect, but it was really hard to get the plasti-dip to follow the groove where it rounds from horizontal to vertical. There are some very small imperfections there. It looks pretty good unless you literally have your face up to it. I am a perfectionist as I am sure most people on the board are so not sure how long I will keep it on. Every time I pass the car I stare at the spot that isn't perfect…LOL
Let me know what you guys think

Not bad from here. I'd smoke out/black out the reflectors as well as they're so close to the black diffuser they look like they should be somehow "connected" in terms of uniformity in color. The M Sport bumper on the other hand has the reflectors so close to the taillights that I think they look better red as they compliment the red on the tallights.

Don't worry man, they won't notice it unless their eye is literally 2 inches close-
Plus it's always hard to get a clean line if the body lines doesn't have any cracks or separation. Good Job Man!

Looks awesome!
I've had plastidip on my exhaust tips for over a month with zero probs btw. Thunderstorms to 90 degree weather and city and highway driving still looks like the day I did it. I know several other F10'ers that did the same with no probs. |
