possibly painting ground effects
#12
I'm not sticking with plasti dip mainly because I really don't like a matte finish. And on top of that it's kind of sticky. It's not slick like paint and clear coat it. So even though it can be washed it is kind of a pain to clean because dirt tends to stick to it. I more so did this as a test to see if I would like the painted ground effects. This was never meant to be permanent. But I do like it, so I would like to make it permanent.

Yea, I will pull all my ground effects off lol. With plasti dip you can just rub it off which is why I did it with them on the car for that. But there is no way I would use actual paint to paint them while they are on the car lol.

Honestly I would just take the ground effects off and take it in to a body shop and tell them what color you want them instead of messing with it on your own. Their quality should far exceed what you can do from a rattle can or trying to paint for the first time on your own.

Easiest way to do it would be, go buy a cheap gun, get a nice base/clear set of paint, all of the hardeners etc. Make sure where you are painting is CLEAN. There are tons of how tos on the internet.
With spray paint, I promise you it won't last as long, it will take a lot of good coats of it to get it to where you want it.
And as far as the cheap gun goes, it will orange peel, but it is nothing that wet sanding and buffing won't take out.

With proper prep you can do anything a body shop could do it home, it is just going to take longer.

yeah I understand that. I have everything I would need from toners to guns but honestly I am far too picky about my car and if one thing was wrong i would have to do it all over again. The chances of someone that does it everyday gets it right the first try is much better than a do it yourselfer and thats enough motivation for me to take it somewhere to have done
