For a second I thought you were gonna dip the Whole Car LOL

Plasti dip is pretty amazing stuff. I did my wheels, interior "wood" trim, Definitely black out the headlight housing, But yeah its a great idea for a budget look, but I really didn't find the need for plasti dip anymore after i de badged and got aftermarket rims and such

when you mean black out the headlight housing - is that the process where you put it in the oven and all that?

I did my grille, rear emblem and the bar in the bottom "grille." Posting pictures is such a pain so I don't have any to post, but I can email them if anyone is interested
