So, I decided that I got bored by all the silver on my N/A wheels, and went ahead and plasti dipped them.

I used anthracite gray metallic from dipyourcar.com, and also their custom aerosol can nozzles for better more even coverage.

Here's the results I ended up with, and I have to say I love it. Thinking of doing the windshield surround and mirrors as well.
BTW, the pictures don't do it justice, as the actual plastidip is metallic and has flakes in it just like paint. It looks fantastic in person with the metallic particles shining in the sun.

 

Looking good. Ya still going to do anything with those tails?

 

I literally just need the software to decode that file type I got sent. I don't own any graphics rendering software of any kind since I never was able to draw lol.

I really want to make that template, but maybe someone else who has the means to make it should crank it out real quick?

 

I can't draw to save my life either lol. I can send ya any file type you'd like though.

 

If you can send me the file as something along the lines of maybe bitmaps? Or even png, just something other than proprietary adobe stuff lol

 

Ahhh, thought I sent a PDF. Yup I'll get it to ya

 

PDF works too, but that eps will not even open for Zeus at this rate. I'm thinking it's a photoshop/illustrator only file type if I'm not mistaken lol

 

EPS File Viewer

 

Well damn Greg, way to make me look lazy hahahaha :P

 

Haha. Well either way, unless you have a pretty large printer, as long as your friendly local print shop can handle EPS you should be ok...

 

Now that I have the file working, which print shop should i visit? Kinkos?

 

Kinkos, Minuteman Press.. Whatever you have local should be fine. Just as long as they can print something about 12" x 18". I think even Staples and OfficeDepot sometimes have print centers?

 

Damn is it really that big? I didn't think our tail lights were that ridiculous

 

17.5 x 10.5... If not I really screwed up. LOL

 

Then again I have a really crappy hold on how big these tail lights actually are since I never measured hahahah

 

In fairness they're curved so they aren't that big, til you flatten it out. Didn't mean to derail your thread though, my bad. Just thought it'd offset the wheels nicely

 

Not at all, I'm thinking of doing the side mirrors with the same color plasti dip anyway. Possibly the windshield trim too

 

LOL.. we get left field file extensions at work all the time.. so I'm used to finding something to work on them.. Just saw the need and spent 20 seconds filling it..

 

Good man, good man!

Wanna join me in the quest for the tail lights vinyl cutout design? LOL

 

Your on your own there.. LOL.. I'm good with my tail lights..
