The Dip is fine. Just get it done by a place that does the work often. They come out great.

I just dipped my wheels and topped it with the glossifier. Stuff works great, I know a lot of people who use just the clear to protect their wheels and one of my friends uses it like a clear front bra.

"Plastidipping m3s to look like a rice burner"

Literally have never seen an M3 plasti-dipped to the point where it looks ricey.

@keepittrill I have! Many of them look very clean, yet you always see a rotten apple here and there with any type of car. When you have a 97' M3 which is one of my favorite years, with a honda civic (large) spoiler/fin. With an orange and white plasti-dip job that looks like crap and peeling just isnt my style. To each their own in my opinion. I have seen some pretty sweet plast dip graphics put on M3s by professionals and it looks really good.

@DarthBeemer-awesome thanks for the input! That clear bra sounds like a must do for me! I'll have to look into doing that!

@Wallace754- Thanks for the input! Since i have done research i think i might as well try it out on my own to see if i like the general look of it and not have to pay somone else to do something i dont want in the end only due to the fact that i can remove it easily myself.

I have a deep blue 7 and my buddy suggested that i do a chrome delete using black plasti dip. Anyone seen that done? Is it tough? Just dont know if that would look good is all but luckily if i tried it i can peel it right off.

Thanks for the response guys!

 

Just plastic dip my front grill, was sure if I will like it. So I took a pics of my car and photoshop the grill black and it comes out great.

 

Any pics?

Finally did my wheels

 

I have been thinking about Plasti dipping my 5 series, i have the confront package, and was wandering if i Plasti my car if i would lose the comfort access on my door? if anyone knows please let me know. I want to plasti dip mine orange.

 

You wouldn't lose your comfort access. Even if you dipped the door jams you wouldn't have an issue. It's not sticky or for any reason make the comfort access freak out. And by some crazy chance it does just peal it off. Koi orange would look sick. Thought about it for my 7 but I think I'm just gonna go with matte white.

Thanks, I wanted to do white, but my husband doesn't like the idea of having a white car, and a dirt driveway.

 

Actually, white hides dirt better than any other color but silver. That's why our minivan is white; I hate washing that pig! :thumbup:

 

ha, good to know. i know this is off topic, of the PD tread but after i PD my 5 series, i wanted to swap out my seats, i have Beige leather now in great condition i would like gray/stone or black. just a darker color what or where would be my best option for getting the color seats i want. Sorry I am new to the BMW forums.

 

I did all the chrome trim, grille, and tires, It looks great. and I spent like 30 dollars in 6 cans of plastidip at home depot

 

I did my wheels, trim and grille are next. Did you dip the grille with it on the car or you take it off?

I did my front grill, and my back numbers for a test for the first time doing it, i had quite a bit of time to wait on mine due to its the first time an 3 months its been above freezing, so the first day it was in the 50's i did these, tomorrow i will be doing the window tint, and the rims. i will post photos once i get those finished.
