Plasti dip hood vents and side gills
 
I have a 07 silver vert and am thinking of doing this ( black) just because , anybody else tried this?

This was a car for sale not to long ago, not mine... But had black vents and gills...

I did my wheels and side gills with Full dip(another brand). The gills were harder to do as they are very slick, the Full dip had a hard time sticking to it and be smooth but you have to get close to see it. 😊

Well I did my side vents last night , didn't remove them just taped up car. I will do my hood vents but I think I will try and remove them , hopefully not to hard.

Gives a better contrast to the silver, nice! 😊

Do try - it is pretty easy!

You know, I'm not a fan of dipping or going with a blacked out look; but this looks really slick with the matte gray like this. Nice stuff!

With hood done, thinking of doing my mirrors.

I wonder what a rear spoiler to match would look like? Maybe too much, but it might look good?

I would like to do the whole car orange leaving vents( side and hood) as well as the spoiler black , just a thought probably will never do it.
