Red emblem looks ehh to me but other than that it looks good. How did you prepare the chrome before plastidipping those? im thinking about doing it also

I think the red H's are a bit gaudy. Maybe a red JDM emblem would be a nice replacement, or all blacked out emblems

Dump the red... All else is good.

I would have left the reflector and not dipped over it......

Sherwin Williams: ULTRA CLEAN

Plasti Dip has a cleaner as well.

I like the black window moldings but doing the door handles black reminds me of when they still had DX in their line up.

Eventually I hope to get them White to match color of car...

I like to remove wax,grease,tar,oil,silicone's and any other crap before I lay down any form of paint...Not sure windex would do the job!

I would've let me emblems and door handles alone.

Rest looks good, it "could" be stock and no one would know...

Why not go white to begin with? Guy on the explorer forum did white plasti-dip with a "pearlizer" over it, as he described it, for his mirror caps and front grille, which looks pretty good with his white pearl paint.... middle pic with grey grille is stock

although I think the black window trim dip would look good too if you tinted the windows darker

I'd really like to black out the front grill (including the H) and the rear H. Gotta darken this bad boy.

I'm trying to convince myself to get it tinted, almost pulled the trigger today.

I will give it a try, I'm not liking the black on the handles, they are wrapped, not Plasti-Dipped.

 

[draken187]

And with that said I think the white accord with a black shark fin would look nice.. if all other accents are black
