If you end up doing this let us know how it turns out.

Can i use the nite shade on my headlights? Maybe only one layer. Do you think it will substract a lot from my lights? I know we are always fighting to make them brighter and one single coat is less output, but, you think it can really make a big difference?

I'm not sure about that. Maybe try the GTS covers that way you can pull them off at night or whenever.

Now that i think about it twice, it's a bad idea, lol. It works for markers and brake lights, because you don't need to light up an area, just needs to be visible for other drivers, so the loss is not that noticeable. But with driving lights maybe is not a good idea... Just ignore that question

Oh... What did you do with those weights the wheels have for balance? Do you just paint them?

I didn't have to worry about it because I didn't go down to the lip with the plasti dip. If I had done the whole rim I would have just gone right over it.

For anyone who has plasti-dipped their grill, do you just tape off the rubber on top?

To be honest, I left it all on and Plasti-dipped it. Peeling the overspray is so easy that you really don't have to worry about it.

I have used plasti-dip, I agree with this statement, don't worry too much about overspray
