I have a few pictures of the chrome/smoke and the tail light/smoke.Ended up looking a little too much like cop-bait for my liking so I removed the garnish and the light smoke - Very easy to remove too thankfully Ended up being very 'cloudy' - not as clear and 'tinted' as I had hoped for. About 5-6 light coats used.(Last pic is half chrome garnish/half smoke for reference)Cheers,Dan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79687-the-plastidip-thread/page/50/#findComment-1514969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
I JET Member 325 Member For: 12y 3m 14d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 20/12/14 07:42 AM Share Posted 20/12/14 07:42 AM Did 6 coats per rim of matte black and then 3 coats of gloss. I'm very happy with the way they turned out, but I'm not sure if I should do the panda eyes black to match.Anyway, awesome stuff to use! Seriously easy and comes up a treat looks mint.....im jealous, I really wanted a white f6. I'm thinking of doing the same on my rims, I'm getting bored with the look of them......not sure how the car will look overall with matt twisties against the silver on the car....How many cans did you go through??.... you said you did 6 coats per rim.

I think I used 2 cans of gloss and 4 cans of matte black when I did it mate.Trust me - If you're going to do it; Do it right. Thin plastidip is a nightmare to remove... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79687-the-plastidip-thread/page/50/#findComment-1518625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
