Default DIY Black Pack

Decided to have a little DIY project and black out the accents on the Jag. Link to the video I made below. If anyone wants to do the same and has any questions, feel free to ask!


Also, the focus of my YouTube channel is my F-TYPE.

Plasti-dip is just a pain in the *** to work with. I think your attempts came out pretty well. I assume you know about Glossifier as well if you wanted to match the gloss look of the factory trim.

I noticed from your channel that you took it to the C&C in Nashville (actually Franklin). I went there last year and it was huuuuge. Not sure why you had such a bad turnout.

Yes, what I didn't mention in the video is that I used one layer of glossifier to give it a satin finish as I didn't want matte and I didn't want super glossy like the OEM parts.

Wow, It looked nothing like that yesterday! There were about 30 cars that hung around the whole time I was there (about 2 hours) and 20 or so that came and went. I'm speculating that St Paddy's the day before had some influence.

I'm going to be a regular attendee as Franklin is only about an hour from where I live. The wife and I like to hang out in Nashville on the weekends anyhow.
