Sara Ladd 2 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm fairly new to this whole thing so I started small. Plastidipped the emblems, mirrors and gas door. Installed LED shift knob. Kept the same boot for now but I think I want a longer one. Next up will be plastidipped spoiler and wheels TonySpark 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Hendre Nel 0 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Gonna venture out and try the Plasti Dip. Going to start with the emblems and see how that turns out. Then maybe move on to cover up all the chrome around the grill. Anyone try to dip the roof rails? Wondering how that would look/turn out. Link to post Share on other sites
Hendre Nel 0 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I want to do that to. Will post some pics if I do. Link to post Share on other sites
Naturalysam 0 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thank you for this. I'm waiting for my spark to come in from another dealer and can't wait till spring. I was going to have everything done but can't wait todo it myself after reading this. My spark is white and I want to do the rims, mirrors and spoiler yellow. Will probably add my logo to the car as well but not sure I'll do it myself it's a yellow and gray tree. Link to post Share on other sites

m3nards 0 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I plastiiped my wheels but after 6 months I decided plasti dipped my wheels like 5 months ago, everything is holding up real nice Looks good. I'm planning to plastidip my wheels also and put glossifier. How many coats of pd did you put on yours? Link to post Share on other sites

How many coats of pd did you put on yours? The Glossifier wont make it shine like fresh paint but it will make the dip pop a bit more instead of a flat black... BTW MAKE SURE TO BUY the GLOSSIFIER and NOT THE CLEAR... the clear will make it flatter than paris hilton Link to post Share on other sites

How many coats of pd did you put on yours? Thanks! Glossifier would be sweet. I did two/three light coats and then two heavier coats on top per wheel. Also it helps with sharp lines to pull the tape off immediately after the final coat. Link to post Share on other sites

Chevygurlroq 2 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 You have inspired me my 15 spark is the same color and I was hesitant on the black. I thought it would make it too dark but yours looks really good. You accented all the right parts. I'm still on the fence about doing black myself but at least I know if all else fails I can fall back on black. Retired old Gearhead 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Did you just use random stickers you came about while shopping and stuff? Did you put them all on at once or were they gradually added on? Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still on the fence about doing black myself but at least I know if all else fails I can fall back on black. Silver as in stock can be sanded down, polished and re-coated with clear coat (to prevent oxidation), or pure white looks nice..Black kinda is used for bigger wheels on more powerful cars for the power effect..you want nice as the Spark is nice..not powerful..My Rover ..blue body has a powerful V8 and 18"x wide wheels that are factory black..looks normal for a large fast car...I think the white wheels are perfect for a Spark..classy and not like an out of place black. You could even add a red accent around the outer edge off the wheel..seen it done and looks great..That of course is my personal taste and maybe just an old guy thing?..still listen to Buddy Holly and Dell Shannon...OK...'Nuff said on that...

noapparentfunction 0 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) i decided i liked the look of black wheels so i removed the wheel covers on my 2016 spark and sprayed black Plasti Dip onto them. also: changed to long, curly q antenna, thin red pinstripe, NAF chrome letter badge (see username, stuck onto door), matching tan steering wheel cover, taxicab seat beads, rear view mirror dice Edited February 2, 2017 by noapparentfunction Link to post Share on other sites
Beachman 0 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I like that look, great idea. I see you got pinstripes - looks pretty good I'm trying to decide what to do with my 2017 Sparky. Link to post Share on other sites

I love like something similar on my Spark! i can't remember what the brand was, but i bought it at my local AutoZone. it's made of either silicone or rubber. i was going to buy two until i realized that a rear license plate bumper is useless on the spark as it is too high & recessed to guard anything. also, make sure you buy longer plate screws.

Well, my brother did, he paints Cars for a living lol. Hi Jeph, I have a red spark and thinking of white PD on top. Do you suggest it will last for at least a year. Mine is parked in open so can think of all weather effects. Link to post Share on other sites
