Plastidipped a stripe on my back deck lid...

[Dan00Hawk]

Just practicing for now. Hopefully with enough free time on Sunday I'm going to add the matching stripe to the front like on this other blue Firehawk and see how it turns out.

Just regular black plastidip and some 1/8" red pinstripe along the edge.

Thoughts?

Would have to see it 100% complete but not sure I'm digging it.

 

[Dan00Hawk]

That's what's nice about the plastidip... Less than $10 and easy to remove if I decide I don't like it. When I do the hood I'll post up those pics. Wife and neighbors say it looks good...

 

[Mook]

Ya. I imagine it's one of those instances where pics don't really do it justice.

I honestly dont think anything plasti-dip looks good in pictures. will have to see it up close

 

[rafa]

I dont like striped, period.


But from the pictures looks like you did a good job.
You are the one who has to like it, not us.

Like to see the hood done to, so far I don't think it sucks.

 

[The Beast]

i like it. post some pics when your done.

plastidip is nice for temp stuff to test out if you like things like this before you make them permanent.

That lincoln looks CRAZY familiar... that in Boilingbrook?

Looks great man! I love Plasti Dip!

I think it looks sharp, the 1/8" red strip sets it off.

Looks really sharp!

Did the front earlier today. I need to recoat it as it's a tad blotchy, although it looks okay in the pics. Not sure yet if I'm gonna do the Hawk badge in the front or leave as is...

Well.... I like the front... Looks like you did a pretty good job too. I am undecided on the back.

A few more rear shots from further away to give a better perspective:

I really liked the back. And I am undecided on the hood...lol
But the more I see it the more I like it too.

Do 2 stripes IMO

 

[Dan00Hawk]

I thought about two, but most every LS1 4th gen TransAm has two stripes from the nostrils. I kind of like the single stripe, but it probably works better on a car with a single nostril like this Viper Final Edition that was sort of my inspiration. Thanks for all the feedback and opinions. :smile:

 

[Turk]

I always wanted a thick stripe on my car...

 

[boostedguy05]

do the hawk badge. it will look great. if you are skilled enough to get the hawk to stay undipped i think it would look great.

 

[Dan00Hawk]

^ I think that's what I'm leaning towards. I did the red pinstripe around the badge, and then did the bird in black; and I'm not really feeling it. So doing the whole badge in black while leaving the bird in pewter would probably work best. Good suggestion. :smile:
