Plasti-dip
In a few weeks I plan to plasti-dip my NX white.
Its black now. Black cars in the summer are hot.

I know ,I have tried it on other things for years,before it was well known.It really doesnt hold up well at all,and is hard to get a uniform finish on larger items.I mmostly use it for emblems or trim pieces.Once I redid a pair of the trim that goes under the rear quarter glass on the nx...you know the one that peels and is chrome underneath.

That will be awesome when you hit boost in that beast and the plastidip peels off

FAQ from dipyourcar.com says




- How long does PlastiDip last? PlastiDip will last a very long time. We always suggest a minimum of 4-5 coats. We've seen wheels, grilles, ect dipped for over 1 a year without having to be touched up. Unless there is a specific event that damages the PlastiDip, it will hold up great and keep it's finish. It is very durable and will not lose it's bond.

- Will it hold up to the elements (sun, winter)? PlastiDip is extremely resistant to the elements, including sun fading, winter ice, cold, salt ect. A lot of customers actually dip their wheels and cars specifically to protect the original surfaces from the winter season.

Wow, if it costs $7 for a little can, what is a whole car going to cost to get done? Wouldn't it be cheaper to just get it painted
