Plasti dipped hood scoop on a Tarmac Black Ralliart
2 Attachment(s)
Hey guys,
I see plasti dip used all the time to paint the hood scoop on non black ralliart but couldnt find any that were black. I decided to give it a shot, wasn't really sure if you would be able to notice it well on black car. I must say I am very impressed. Matches the two smaller almost perfectly ( which i didn't paint).

It looks good.

Looks nice, I haven't tried plasti dip yet, easy to apply? Did the vent come off the hood fairly easy?
|
I like it! I wonder what clear would look like, instead of black dip. Did you take yours out to do it? I couldn't figure out how to take it out haha I taped around mine and did it that way.
|
Very nice. I think that I might have to do something similar.

It's simple to remove. There are about 10 plastic clips holding on the "heat mat". I just removed the top portion to let the mat hang down to make the underside of the scoop completley visible. Then there is 3-4 metal paper clip looking things that have to be removed. After that, there are 5-6 10mm bolts that need to be removed. After all those are out you will see two little prongs on the under side of the hood that you have to press in to pop the scoop out.
The scoop is actually two pieces that are held together by two tiny Phillips head screws. Separating these pieces will allow you to do a much better job getting the paint in all the corners. |
looks good now do the chrome front ring and chrome window trim. my whole car is plasti dipped matte clear. love it. photo album on my profile page.

I saw this on the Evo thread last week about plastadip eating your paints clear coat..
It looks fine to use on chrome trim and emblems.. but might want to be careful on your car paint. |

I read it and thought it was funny. I have no issues with plastidip. Though I order mines through dipyourcar.com. I used the black one from the stores with no issues either. U just have to polish the paint and bam it's brand new if u let the plasti dip on to long. Same if u cover u car and store it or if u drive it daily. It will eventually need some polish.
