BSM E92 LCI - Plasti Dipped Headlights

well I was bored... and wanted to know how my car would look "all black" - plus this hole plasti dip craze has been wanting me to try it out

I guess I didn't put too many coats on as somebody mentioned to me, but the plasti dip was annoying as fkkkkk to take off ... had to scrub it off for an hour. and it left residue on my headlights... can't see it, but could feel it.. will clay and polish tomorrow.

with the headlights on it looks terrible. will not work.

and yes, they are off. they came off immediately (after drying)

Now that's murdered haha.. If you wait 100% for it to dry, you can peel it off easily and no residue will be left.. How about some lamin-x if you are going for that look?

Yeah I guess I messed up with the plasti dip! it is awesome tho.. I ended up spraying a bunch of crap lol

lol too lazy and that blue tape on there that I bought.. I thought it was painters tape.. I later found out it was just blue tape. so I couldn't stick it on my car, getting the roundel without being able to tape on the car would of been toooo complicated!
