PlastiDipped a few Interior pieces Arctic Silver

So,I'm pretty obsessed with this product.I've been doing a lot of people's cars:Rims,Trim,Whole Car,etc...... I always liked the look of the Arctic Silver trim kits on these cars,but never could find them for a good price. My car had some stock pieces in that color and i wanted to accent the interior with the Arctic silver some more. Plastidip recently released their "Metallic" Line,and the silver is about 90% close to the porsche arctic silver. It still peels off when i don't want it anymore,which is also nice about the product. I am very happy with how it came out,Around the shifter and the shifter **** are stock from Porsche everything else has been dipped.

Nice, i was quite surprised how clean plastidip comes out. I wouldn't shoot my entire car with it like some are doing but for smaller stuff, it's a pretty good product and comes off super easy if you want to change it.

I looked online but don't see anything like article silver? What did you use to get that color right

Dipyourcar.com is the only site that has it. Look for the Metallic Aluminum

the new metallics are awesome. It's called aluminum under metallic kits.
If you spray from a foot away it turns out textured. Shot from about 6 inches, nice and smooth.
I just did a wheel set vintage gold and I love it.
OP turned out really nice

the vintage gold is slightly bronze with minimal gloss...i like it very much.
You could just spray over the gold on the boxster

Nice post. Looks like a nice match. I love the aluminum bits inside a tan leather interior, its just freshens things up.

There really isn't anything hard about it. The only prep I do is clean everything then spray the predip spray I got from the site,which I think is just some alcohol. The key is to go light on the first coat and to do about 4-6 coats. Love this stuff.

That's good to hear, I might have to venture in with a few items on my DD. So I might have a few questions in the near future

How does this stuff hold up on the wheels? I don't want to do it to mine, I'm just curious what the durability is like, especially when washing.
