Pretty sure I'm just going to have it painted when I get the body shop to respray the front bumper I'm getting, since they'll already be painting. And it shouldn't be much more to add in the rear blackout along with the front.

To dip thy camaro pros:

1. Every easy to apply yourself (check out dipyourcar.com)
2. A lot cheaper than paint (6x cheaper to have it done professionally up here)
3. Make a mistake or don't like how it looks just peel off and start again.

Cons:

1. Cannot polish or wax. Has a rough texture feel.
2. Not as durable to the elements. Spoke to a guy that dipped in matte black and color faded to gray in a few months (pealizer or glosipher is supposed to help with this.
3. Does not stick on all surfaces.

IMO if I were to redo my camaro I would probably vynl wrap it. Way better looking cosmetically, can be waxed and it will peel off like plati dip. It cost more but not as much as a new paint job.
