What have you plastidipped on your X?

I had time over the weekend to plastidip some things on my X. Started off with the kidney grille, 3.0i badges, and the rear X5 badge. Had the 3.0i rims plastidipped in matte black before, as well as a gloss black roof. Sorry about the bad lighting pictures of the whole X, the rims look way better in sunlight.

What have you plastidipped?

None on my X5s, however I did use PD on my E39 and Z32TT.
On E39: wheels, font kidneys, window trims, roof trims.
On the Z: window trims, cowl grills, front bumper "moustache"

Very good stuff tmv. The best thing that I love about Plastidip is that its inexpensive, not hard to apply, and if you ever down the road want to sell the vehicle or just tired of the plastidip just peel it off!

People keep staring at my ACS wheels. They're Plasti-Dip in Silver Metalizer. The car is Anthracite Metallic.

Wow I love that How did you plastidip it? What colors did you put on before the metalizer and how many coats?
