I love plastdip. If you screw it up just peel it off and do it again. You can overspray it anytime. I was thinking about doing my grill if it starts pitting.

I would definitely take it off. Doesn't take long at all.

I'll have to look into this stuff. I've been wanting a black grille for a while, just can't justify the cost to myself at this point.

Do it man. You will love it. Easy to work with and really no problem if you screw it up. Just peel it off and do it again. Also if it is starting to pit or scratched just spray over and done.

Can't go wrong with it. Also it would look really good on both of your G. White and red is probably the 2 best color to do it.

Did my grille in Plasti Dip but not the emblem. It's been holding out great even through the winter.

I like the way you left the chrome on the top and bottom. That really looks good. I have never heard of that stuff. I need to check it out.

Here's a DIY I (and many) followed. You don't need to remove your grille.

I don't like it. Why paint emblems black on a black vehicle, makes them unnoticeable. No sense in doing that. Should have saved your money for retirement.

I like the idea. I have a white G and was wanting to paint the grill black with platidip. Now all i've seen is black. Do they have white? Also where is teh best place to get this stuff?

Why don't you like it? Black on black cars look ugly? Sorry chrome rims are ugly on a black car thats scraper status.

and yeah i saw white and black at any hardware store i went to OSH because it was the closest but still.

How long can you leave the pastidip on and still have the ability to remove it? Like can I keep it on for a year and then take it off when I decide I don't like it anymore?
