    Plasti Dip

    Picked up some Gemini Wheels off Craigslist to use as winter tires. Applied some plasti dip (black matte) to change the look. Picked up some caps from Amazon. I thought they came out pretty nice.

    Silver Plasti Dipped Aeros project on Silver Model 3

    Finished changing my black Aeros to Silver (Bright Aluminum) using Plasti dip! I didn't like how the black Aeros looked on the Silver Model 3, so I decided to dip them and think it turned out much better than the originals. Before: I didn't like the black Aeros, so I removed them and...

    Has anyone tried to Plasti dip their wooden trim?

    Just curious if anyone has ever tried to Plasti dip their wooden trim to a different color. Other than properly masking the surrounding areas, it seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to do. Compared to other options (removing the trim then painting vs. wrapping), could dipping be a more...

    Improving Base Wheels with Paint???

    I recently ordered my Model X 60D and opted for the base wheels for the longer wear on the tires, but just have not been impressed with the lack of style. So with the help of Photoshop, I tested some "paint" ideas of the base wheels and would like to get some feedback. Lots of ways to paint...

    So, has anybody already Plasti-Dipped their X? I'm excited, but I have some concerns: How do aftermarket paints / wraps / dips affect the X's complicated sensor-suite? Has anybody on here had any sort of aftermarket modifications to the surfacing, and if so, have you had any experience with...
