To augment the existing PlastiDip thread, are a couple of quick pics of the 172s in gunmetal. I did ~4 coats of black and then 3 or 4 coats of silver metalizer.

Thanks! It is an easy a cheap way to make a huge improvement on the look of the car. Plus, this stuff peels right off if I want to change it. It holds up a lot better than I thought too. I have run it through the touchless car wash without a problem.

Looks amazing. I used it on my now shadow line trim, kidney grill and trunk badge. So far so good. Nice whip bro

Have any pics? What did you use it for on the shadow line trim?

Looks fantastic!! Is the silver metallizer a plasti dip product as well? Where did you get it??

Yeah, the metalizer is a PlastiDip product. They also have pearlizers too.

I bought the kit from dipyourcar.com. They have a ton of videos on youtube on how to do this stuff.

Ahhh... I thought it looked darker than their canned gunmetal. I like this darker one better. Not as dark as the charcoal.

172's are nice. Looking good.

I almost used the charcoal gray instead of the black for the base, but I saw some photos of a 370Z that used the black base...looked sweet. He used more metalizer than I did. Next time I might try an additional coat of the metalizer.

I went from "what wheels am I going to get for this thing" to "damn, I like those wheels on this car"
