Looking for suggestions on what color I should plasti dip my window trim. My grille surround and trunk trim piece are already anthracite (might color match it, brilliant red), so I was thinking that black may look a little out of place. I'm probably going to plasti dip my rear valence (S-line) anthracite as well. Do you guys think dark grey would look out of place with all the other weather stripping etc being black? Thanks for your input guys!!

You are going to have a hell of a time doing the window trim. I tried it. It sticks to the door if you don't have it open. If you do have it open you have to tape everywhere. Then it sticks to the tape. It also sticks to the rubber seal. You'll see.

Awesome. You just made me spend more money. My bank account and wife hate you now.

I saw my neighbor doing this with his prelude. After the whole process, he ripped it off.

That's the shadowline it's stretchy so as long as it's warm you can go corners and all easy. Takes time but no mess. I do not like plasti dip at all

I would use the shadowline, but I don't know if the black will look out of place with all of the dark grey accents (Grill surround,rear valence,trunk trim) on my car....

I'm all for DIY but, professionally painted is the only way.

I agree. Those were my exact words once I showed him my front grill.
