I picked up the M after trading in my G sedan. This is my 4th Infiniti, 2 G coupes 1 G Sedan and now this bad boy. My coil overs are in and I just need to find a free day to drop the car off for install. I've been doing what I can on my own in the mean time I started with this mod. I'm going to plasti dip the lower grill and the fog light housing so the black's all match the matte black look of the plasti dip. I'm pretty happy with the results so far and think the car is going to look mean as hell after the drop. This was my first time using plasti dip and I am a total paint amateur, only comments, I could have done a better job with prep and I would have done my coats a bit thicker. This is 4 coats about 15-20 min between each one.

 

Plastidip is good as a temporary solution, but it does not withstand driving wear and tear for very long. A single rock chip will ruin all the work you put in to it.

IMO, if you like the look, get it professionally done.

 

Stuff is pretty money - I'll re spray if I have to, it's a fun project, easy to remove when you get over it and simple to install.

 

If it chips you dont have to spend the money to have if sanded and resprayed...just peel it and respray. Ive ran plasti dip of grills, everything from silverados to sedans...only chips i got were from not enough coats...but if you do like 5-6 coats, it would take a pretty nice rock to damage it..one that would have damaged real paint in the first place.

Food for thought.

 

Finished the lower grill and fog light housing to match.

 

Looks good.I sprayed the chrome lower bumper on my dad's pickup and three years of abuse later it has held up great!

 

Some bumper plugs will clean that front up nicely.

I've been looking for bumper plugs, is this the cheapest they come??

 

When you spray the grill, did you do anything to protect the Plasti-dip from getting all over the radiator?

 

Probably not the cheapest they come, but this is what I had recommended to me, and a good color match was more important than price for something so small.

I'm **** about those things though, so...it really depends on what you're looking for.

 

@nofear13 Ya I took off the over that goes over the air filters, removed the little black clips and had plenty of space to drop down some plastic between the grill's and the radiator. I used just painters tape to hold it in place and it worked just fine.

@gofightnguyen I HATE the bumper holes and have seen that website before, was hoping to find something a bit cheaper but I'll probably pull the trigger for 3 of them. So lame they drilled the front bumper like this, its just wrong! I picked the car up as a lease return just last month, everything was perfect except for that.

 

You guys think I should do the same to the rear? I have removed all the badges except for the logo, so I have 2 chrome pieces and the logo I could do. I don't want to over do things - thoughts? Also the door handles are chrome, I won't do anything to them so would it look weird with NO chrome except for the handles or should I keep things are they are now? Good thing with the plasti dip - I can always try it and remove if I'm not happy.

Thanks @kurens your M looks super clean. Not sure if on white but I might just try it using plasti dip, can always just take it off.

 

Lmfao....it doesn't chip unless you sprayed like 1 coat.

Looks good man. Maybe some gloss would pull it together
