Default New colors

I have a 12 Centennial GS. I have been playing with plasti dip in the past few months.

First - matte black with red stripes:



Currently - black cherry with silve stripes. Vendor here figured out a way to do polished plasti dip



Thinking - carlisle blue with black stripes. This is a photoshop:



What do you think about the blue/black combo?

The vendor is a friend of mine. He uses my car for demo and charges me little, also plasti dip does not hurt the original paint, so why not?

I also have a little video at

This is my friend's trade secret. He a special solvent that mixes with plasti dip. It comes out just like gloss paint. You can even wax it.

The blue looks too cartoonish to me. FWIW. Now the black cherry, yes!

The 1st blue made me gag. This one is kinda nice though I think I'd do away with the side stripe.
The black cherry was also nice
