    Plasti dipped the grill of my 1999 c280

    Hey guys I thought I'd share my experience plasti dipping the grill of my 1999 c280.

    This stuff couldn't be easier to use I simply taped off the silver trim and did about 4 coats with 15 minutes to dry between each coat.

    The grill looks about 100 times better this way (in my opinion anyway :P)

    Anyway enjoy! And sorry for the crappy iphone photography!

    Thats the website. I don't see the exact model I bought anymore though They're 17x8 and I believe they are s65 repros.

    nice mod. I personally like the chrome trim around it. looks good how it is.

    i have similar wheel only in 18 inch and my spokes are straight.

    you can also get them from powerwheelspro. vasille is awesome.

    Should of just painted it. There's no way your getting that to peel off. Probably could but man... What a pain in the ass I bet

    Plastidip is easier to remove than paint.
