Plasti dipped my civic, not happy with results, any feedback or suggestions? I'm not a car enthusiast to be honest, I recently found out about plasti dipping and loved the idea, I have a dark blue civic and decided to dip the hubcaps and logos/grille with red, I guess I didn't think this through and the colors didn't match as much as I expected. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...b23b97fd75.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...d663fcc299.jpg I also messed up dipping the hubcaps. I would appreciate your honest opinion, should I keep this or remove it all together? I've been getting conflicted feedback from my friends, some say it looks awesome and some say it's very ugly. Lol Also I realized that dark blue doesn't really go well with anything, I thought about doing black but I don't think it will match well either. What do you guys think? Any advice suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |
Re: Plasti dipped my civic, not happy with results, any feedback or suggestions? huh, no, remove them... |

Re: Plasti dipped my civic, not happy with results, any feedback or suggestions? Ya your colour theory was way of for this application. Also in some cases less is more. With blue you are looking at grey scale exclusively for nice results, and only on the accents (ie; emblems and caps). (not a civic but same colour theory https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...dc7eb1c172.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...e0239745ac.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...5d7f4f062f.jpg Gold is also nice, but maybe not with stock rims https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...a96403be8d.jpg Also put some friggen tire shine on your tires, dammmit! lol Flashy rims directly juxtaposed with dirty old tires, will look like crap with any colour. |

Re: Plasti dipped my civic, not happy with results, any feedback or suggestions? Tbh it don't go to well together, You should of consider painting them white , gold , bronze or anything around those lines. Try removing the dip you can peel it but if it wasn't put on with enough coats then it can be a pain to remove and there are other things you can do to remove it search around online. |

It looks terrible, imo. But if you like it, I guess whatever man, don't do cosmetic mods based on what others think. (that's different from functional mods in that it's subjective, functional modifications aren't subjective) But to me it looks like something a 16yr old kid would do. Don't make me whip out the dong-of-justice.:giggle: |

Edit to PC friendly please. Don't make me whip out the dong-of-justice.:giggle: Latino is a term often used in the United States to refer to people with cultural ties to Latin America, in contrast to Hispanic which is a demonym that includes Spaniards and other speakers of the Spanish language. |

Google "latino" here I will do it for you. That was PC friendly, if it offends you maybe you should ask yourself why. |

Holy crap man, I'm not trying to start anything. But to pretend stereo types don't exist nor plenty of people reference them is some serious. There's times I've cross the line too and if anyone asks me to stop..I will. |

Re: Plasti dipped my civic, not happy with results, any feedback or suggestions? Ok guys, I'm gonna change the color ! Please let me know what colors would go with navy blue, I don't wanna make the same mistake again, I came across this burnt copper alloy on DipYourCar and I think it will match better than red, please let me know what you guys think, thank you ! |

If you insist on using it you may want to use black on rims and go back to chrome for emblem/grill. |
Re: Plasti dipped my civic, not happy with results, any feedback or suggestions? info on other forums plastic dip on rims chips/peels easily I've seen many cars go thru the shop with stock wheels done in black |
Re: Plasti dipped my civic, not happy with results, any feedback or suggestions? I'm also considering gold metallizer, I think it will match well with navy blue. |
Re: Plasti dipped my civic, not happy with results, any feedback or suggestions? Please don't do black wheels. It's to much with black tires imo. Gunmetal or "cast iron grey" isn't bad though, it's dark but breaks up the black from the tire. |

You could draw a rough sketch of you car, make copies, and fill in the colors you think might work well. Want to go big then do it on CAD program. |

I was actually hoping to find a website/tool that can visualize that sort of stuff, kind of like racing video games where you can modify the color of your vehicle lol try tirerack.com too, they have a thing where you can view different wheels on your car that might help |
