Thinking of dipping the white on the mirrors to match the wheels what do you think? Also the chrome strip at the bottom of the doors maybe?

I dipped my mirrors, gave the car a nice look. Just hope a big bug doesn't hit your mirror..I had to redo one because he destroyed the dip lol..I was like wth?

Never even gave that a thought... does the glossafier "sp" help to strengthen that at all? Also how does it hold up thought the winter if the snow gonna destroy it should I remove before then and redo in the spring or think it would last? This is my first time using dip on anyting

I didn't put gloss on until I just redid it the other week. I can't help you with the snow answer, I just started doing dip over the summer and it is very fun to do and use. You'll get addicted lol.

Nice work nike12000, I also have the same color just a 2012 LTZ also dipped the rims black its been about a month in a half and I feel like its fading looks dusty now even after a wash. You used glorifier on your rims from plastidip? let me know how that is holding up id go for that next if it works out better

I can deff do that I have 4-5 coats of dip and 2 of the gloss so heres hoping they hold up.... but really for less then 50 bucks even if get away with 5-6 months more would be ideal but i love the look now that the mirrors are done I feel like it really connects the dots kinda thing

Not sure if I missed it, but is that the anthracite grey dip?

And you're car looks good, I personally like the mirrors white though.

yes it is he anthracite grey with the glossifyer "sp" on it. and I was on the fence about the mirrors at first but I really like them now I think it draws the car together but to each their own that's the beauty of the product, plus I can rip it off in six months and make the orange if I want :)

And that's what makes your car your own. Do exactly what you like, and who cares about the rest. It isn't theirs.

I bet it looks a lot better in person, the pics don't do justice from what I've heard on that color.
