Title: Plasti-Dip Test
Post by: mistertripps on October 16, 2009, 08:05:18 PM
Unfortunately, you won't get to see how Stanley turned out in Monterey, since I had to bring the Clubman back from Atlanta for an emissions test, but I'll post a few photos here of what we did with Plasti-Dip to both cars.

Headlight rings, front grill and surround, scoop and belt line:

I like the "meaner" look it gives the Pepper White front end:

Headlight rings and grill surround on the Clubby:

Belt line as well:

Both cars showing their new faces on a run with the AtlantaMINIs last weekend:

The only problem I've had so far was a slight peeling on the front belt line of the Clubby.  I think this was user error - it appears a section got cut and peeled back a little removing the tape.  Driving home from Atlanta in a driving rain storm for 12 hours last Sunday caused about a three inch section to peel back.  I plan to repair this weekend and see what happens on the Monterey run and then my drive back to Atlanta afterwards.

I really like the black contrast to the white on Stanley. Nice mod :023:

Nearly a year later and the plasti-dip has really held up nicely.  Since the original post, I have painted the scuttles and gas cap and covered the badges and door handles with molded pieces from Aesthetic Creations.  Also added a tribal flame to the bonnet for a little more black.  Finally, I decided to add an accent color and painted the mirror backs and exhaust tips red along with adding a few other pieces.  The "mistertripps" euro plate has been removed since I took these pictures and is being replaced with a HWY 129 plate from tailofthedragon.com.
