To plasti dip or not (fender flares)

[lcgeek]

I PD'd mine a while back, like some, to cover failing clearcoat.

But soon after, and since mine is a mall cruiser , I thought it best just to re-paint the old gal.

I think this all looks great. I did the OE roof rack, (hint, it doesn't get much use)

I sure would like to see an LX with the same PD treatment.

If you do, I would do the rocker as well and add some front factory mud flaps to help save the paint/plasti from rock chips.

And hit the recessed body moulding area between the doors and behind the rear wheel with plasti to even it out.

Did as you said except idk where to get front mud flaps

That red looks amazing! Id peel that plastidip off pronto, and Im NOT a plastidip hater. I really want to see that truck with the red flares, front factory mud flaps, remove the little black piece on the front of the rear flare, (thats only for when you have running boards; hard to get off, I know, you have to slide a little wrench up in there to hold the nut while you unscrew from below).

I think it would also look better without the LC and Bridgestone stickers but I do like the mountains.

You asked for opinions and Im always more than happy to provide mine!

My vote goes to red paint. Looks perfect, why fiddle with it?

Plastidip em! Save the paint under the dip. I love it when people bag on plastidip like it is crap... Its only crap when applied incorrectly. If it were crap you wouldn't see Lamborghini's that are covered with the stuff!

That is because hoodlums like Justin Beiber buy lamborghinis.

Do half and half maybe? PD the bottoms of the flares up to the base of the rear bumper.

Dang that paint looks nice! You're making me want to do a detail now. I vote plasti dip with front mudflaps!

Looks great. Can't go wrong with black and red combo. How many coats did you put?
