Plasti is the way to go. As for the plastidip on black, it may look good to have that gloss vs. matte contrast.

Thats how I want to do it, I don't know if it would look good on the ralliart though as it has the trim that goes around the blacked out area. I want to black out the trim and the bottom section of the bumper, kind of how the evo is. Has anyone done this? And what do most of you do when using plastidip remove the bumper and trim or just mask it off on the car?

thanks for that shot mwdt73, I have a TB and want to Plasti-Dip the front bumper.  :D

@ ralli//art, I have a friend who has an TB with RA front with the chrome trim blacked out. Looks pretty mean.

I agree blacking out the trim makes it look alot better but I was wondering if anyone has blacked it out all the way to the bottom.
