Dave_Gilbert Hi everyone iv just bought a standard grill to modify myself. I want to take the chrome off and paint it satin black and then change the badge. Any advice on getting the chrome off. As its got tangs at the back but then melted into place. Cheers
Dave_Gilbert iv never seen that plastidip before. the astra logo looks great like that on the chrome. is it just spray like normal aerosol cheers
evocarlos yep you can get it in spray cans or as paint in a tin i did my center console in grey 🙂 its rubber paint and if you want to remove it it can be peeled off like a skin so you can go back to standard if you ever wanted to 🙂 there web site http://www.plastidip.co.uk/
Dave_Gilbert is it a strong hold though? i dont want it peeling off when i wash the car, its not cheap either on ebay. cheers again
Dave_Gilbert i did my astra centre consol but i spent hours with wet and dry sanding it smooth then sprayed it star silver to match the car n laquered it it was very smooth n shiny to say i did it with a can.
evocarlos its proven not to come off with even a jet wash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuFwFRFlP2k center console in the mk4 with a painted lacquer finish is horrid it's all you can see in the front window when its clean needs to be matt to stop the extra reflection 🙂
Dave_Gilbert i thought it looked shit hot but i was a young boy racer so things have changed a little bit.
Dave_Gilbert looks really good stuff that plastidip. do you recomend using the plastidip primer first?? then the black
Dave_Gilbert ok i will just get a tin of black when it comes back in stock on there site, did u buy it direct from them? do u know there postage cost? chhers
evocarlos looks like a standard £6 fee for shipping both my orders were £6 shipping yes i went direct with them
Dave_Gilbert ok cheers. would you use anything else thats similar as theres 1 on ebay for 13 quid i think. same thing just a different brand. called sprayndip
Dave_Gilbert i think i will give them a try, sounds prity much the same stuff. if they have it in stock,nice 1
