Had a little fun with plastidip today on my C3. I loved seeing photos from other members of their hash marks and love the way they look on new cars, too. I decided to try my hand at it on my car after discovering plastidip.
A can of plastidip costs about $5 at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. I taped off the stripe with painters tape and went to work. I should have watched tutorial videos first because I mistakenly allowed the plastidip to dry before pulling the tape off. This made things difficult and had negative effects on the results but I still think it looks pretty cool. I'll be redoing it the right way next weekend. Here's a couple photos for anyone interested in doing this themselves. It was really easy.
If you dig them that is all that matters but to me they are a car wash custom touch on cars they didn't come on,
Okay, before you flame me, Lol ...why do people dig them so much...perhaps I am missing something....

It's a part of corvette history that goes as far back as the c2 and the c4-5-6 and probably 7 have revived it but it was too fresh for us c3s to jump on it but its corvette and I say anything corvette is fair game on all generations including the use of stingray on non stingray c3's

Reason: hash marks are a ford thing just found out but they still cool

Yeah, I plan to put a ZL-1 console badge on my 69 just to upset purists at old town cruise....
I pulled it off last week. I plan on doing a full body plasti-dip this spring.
Awesome! That looks cool on the white. I'm thinking of spraying mine in the future with a gloss red. My hood needs redone and I can plasti the entire car for less than someone would charge for the hood alone. Send me pics when you do it. I'd love to see.
I had a scratch from someone leaning on the car about a month ago, I had the same idea and went ahead and did it also. Cheaper than getting it fixed before the new paint goes on next spring.
This thread makes me jealous. plasti dip spay cans are anywhere from $15-$25 here. The great aussie rip off strikes again. Was wanting to do my stinger hood but may as well just spray it properly for a little more.

Yes, to each his own. But, to my jaundiced eye they've been a bit overdone of late, at least here in the States, Dodge having pretty much ruined them for me. Sorry, JMHO. That said, I certainly wouldn't peel them off on my account. Anyway, good on you for well executed use of the Plasti Dip!

The wheels on my truck are worn looking and I was thinking about using plastic dip on them.
I like the look of the hash marks on the C3. I put red hash marks on both sides of mine a few years ago to go with the red banding on my wheels, the red chassis, engine, suspension, and brake calipers.
