Request: plastdip front lip under ring

I've seen some people Plastidip under the ring on the actual bump to look like an Evo. Any prep needs to be done besides mask and spray?

nope, i just masked and sprayed it, and it's held up well. Just make sure you take your time when you mask it. there are two little bumps along the very bottom of the front bumper. i used those as the ending point for the black on the bottom. GL

just mask it off and spray it, you could use some prep spray and make sure that the surface is clean. To make sure my lines were perfect I used a laser level to match the lines of the ring stright down to the ground, hope this helps

Here is my RG orange version. I didn't do the straight down lines, but rather had my under lip extend diagonally right off the grill. The plastidip has held up well in the short week i've had it. It will stick to the painters tape, so when removing it I had to use a tiny exacto razor to cut the plastidip as I pulled the painter's tape off.

Take your time!!

PCTools what did you use to black out the top vent that feeds air to the turbo? Is it painted or an overlay? If it is an overlay where did you get it?
