It's actually pretty glossy. It won't shine like the body paint but it gives it that "wet" look. Like paint does when it rains if that helps? As for the sanding thing, I wouldn't try it. I feel like it would take some of the plasti-dip off and would end up ruining it. Even if it did work, I doubt it would help it shine or anything like that....But the glorious thing about plasti-dip is that it's cheap! So if you do decide to try it out it won't be that big of a deal...

I glossed mine. You can see somewhat of a difference in respect to how it blends with the gloss black body color. I liked the matte but I love the gloss just because it blends in better. Did the grille and the wheels...also helps it hold up better as well.

The normal matte black plasti dip is pretty durable. Add the gloss to that and its not going to fade, chip, anything. As long as you let it cure long enough, that stuff should stay on for a long time

From the album: 08 Black Edge SEL
Plasti-dip gloss black sprayed grille with two-tone black emblem overlay -

I just refinished the black on my wheels and grille then applied to gloss coats. Looks pretty good IMO! Gloss is definitely less forgiving and you need to be more careful when using it compared to the black....but still not too bad to use for beginners. I will post pics hopefully tomorrow

NEW EGR Matte Black Finish and Edge Products
cmillz1331 replied to EGR USA's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Do the make the full size version (like in your banner photo) in matte black also or just the mini version? Either way that edge looks amazing. I will definitely look at your products for my next car in a few years -
So the sound has greatly decreased since I recently had an alignment last weekend. I have only heard it a few times compared to multiple times a day like before. But it still occurs....the guy said my alignment was really far off to the right so I thought maybe something was just rubbing but it's still happening while my car doesn't pull or anything anymore....The problem has been helped but not completely fixed

NEW EGR Matte Black Finish and Edge Products
cmillz1331 replied to EGR USA's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I honestly want to get my 08 wrapped in 3M matte black but I don't plan on keeping it for more than 2 more years so probably not worth it Edge looks great though and good idea on the matte black products. Does the hood protector go the whole way above the lights or just cover from above the grille? -
So I just got the plasti-dip gloss in today so I plan on applying it some time this weekend. Need help with one thing though...I got new tires on my car last weekend and they scuffed up the original plasti-dip around the edges of the wheels and even peeled some off....can I just spray some black plasti-dip over that stuff to repair it or do I need to do the wheels all over again from scratch?

How to Plasti-dip your rims (video tutorial)
cmillz1331 replied to Cellbine's topic in Wheels & Tires
I also had a scuff and I just applied a thicker coat over top of it and it helped hide it more. The valve stem won't be a problem. If you remove the lug nuts, the plasti-dip may be scratched or come off- 38 replies

yea sorry thats what i meant to say.

You will need to know the lug size to know if they will fit...other than that they seem like they will. If it's not the correct lug size, they would have to be machined to fit and wouldn't be worth it. I would ask the guy and see if he knows
