Wow, this is great! I also have a RR Evo X and I was thinking of doing the same exact thing you did but I was afraid of how good the white would turn out since I don't have much experience with plasti-dip.. now I'm convinced it would look awesome! Thanks, I'm about to order this thing..

It looks great! Something I've been wondering for all the full-car dip guys: how do the door jambs end up looking?

Thanks! With my color scheme it doesn't look too bad with Red door jams and blue outside but i would imagine it would look horrible if the color is way different, that's why my next dip i'm doing door jams and all. This was just a practice run haha

If you do not apply enough layers, it will be spotty. 6-8 layers should be enough.

I did my girls chipped up door handles. When I peeled my first attempt off it took quarter size chunks of paint and clear with it. I dont want to put anyone off of this but just be cautious of the surface your coating. It could have been too chipped to begin with or ****ty mitsu paint. Im not sure. Im dipping more in the future just wanted to give me real world experience.
