.........but the discussion is about the nose-ring on the '09 RA.

......not the GTS bumper/grill.

 

That looks sweet!

 

I didn't remove the bumper. Didn't wanna break anything.

Plasti dip'd.

 

Looks great

 

wow that looks great, how did you manage to not remove the bumper and still cover everything behind it. There doesn't seem to be any looks of overspray...unless you used a vinyl instead of paint

 

Nice work!

Id like to see the same thing in a black RA though... Should look reaaaally good (as per my imagination)

 

anyone do it to a TB RA yet? im wondering how it would look? how many coats of plasti dip did you do? does it only take one?

 

didnt take anything off? so you just masked everything??

 

I masked off everything, that took the longest time but no breaking of pins and such.

I started off with really thin coat. waited 20 minutes between each and did 5 layers. After the last coat I let it dry overnight.

The more the better in case you want to rip it out in one piece. Also, make sure the layers are thin so theres no run off. it's crucial since the chrome ring is not on a flat surface. and you can't do just 1 coat of plasti dip!!

all masked off


after 5 coats


g'luck!

 

good job, looks great
