Hey there, I also have an Audi (2007 A4 S-Line) and wanted to know how the Plasti Paint is holding up. When I spoke to the service manager at Audi (a friend) he said to get the chrome matted out I'd have to sand off the chrome first ($1300 at a garage not audi) or else the matted paint would chip off easily. Has there been any chipping yet?

Nice work. I did this to my Honda n it looks nice. Im not a fan of chrome either. Like the flat black look. Amazon carries them too.

Ok thanks, it looks cool. I'm having a hard time finding the plasti dip spray tho, I can only find it in a can that you actually dip the stuff into it.

Well not sure yet but it is supposed to be fine... Use a special sponge when washing cause link will stick to it

Will it chip or flake when you clean off bugs? Would snow and ice hurt it?

It doesn't affect the original paint on the car or any products you put the plasti dip onto

Well I just did it but from what I understand is that it holds up better than paint.

Ok. I thought it was, but wasnt aware of what the product was like. Does it resist chopping or damage on the parts you left coated?

It's Plasti-dip, it's like rubber when it's dry

I like the look but I'm not clear on what's happening with the photo of the Audi logo. What are you peeling off the rings?

I think it was a sportier look
