What's done looks great

 

I agree, your front end already looks great! What are you gonna try the Plasti-Dip on?

 

Thanks guys! I did the lower bumper with the "stone guard" like I said before and I had the pillars done in vinyl (black sticker). The pillars were starting to look ratty so I removed them (WHAT A PAIN IN THE A$$!!) sticker goo all over... nothing that brake cleaner couldn't fix . NOTE: if you are as crazy as me and use brake cleaner on your paint be VERY careful, IT WILL REMOVE THE PAINT!. Any way, I saw this post and decided that it was time for me to try this Plasti-dip thing and it turned out GREAT! I used this post as a guide and removed the front bumper. This was easy and really made the whole thing a breeze. The hardest part and maybe some of you plasti-professionals can help me out. When removing the masking tape how do you get it to break clean? It always wants to pull the whole thing off. I used an exacto knife to just brake the surface of the dip so I could get a clean line. Definitely not what I would want to do on the hood or something, ya know?

 

I also tried to Dip the rear license plate spot and It was a disaster! It was too cold out side and the dip just would not work right. After I got it done, i looked at it and IMO it didnt really add much to the rear of the car so i pulled it off.

 

I had my front end plasti dipped like that. It kept jacking up so I had it painted!!

 

Again, looks very nice. To get a nice line when pulling off the tape, I sprayed right on the edge and then pulled the tape off. It comes off just fine, as long as it's still wet. This worked even after 5 coats, just as long as the top coat is wet.

 

Thanks for the Top Tip!

 

Here are some pictures of the stripe I sprayed on a while ago. They're not the best quality, just taken with my phone.

 

that looks good

Sweet! ^

 

+1. Very nice.

 

That's with the plasti dip? That looks really good. I've been wanting a black stripe on mine but hesitant. Interested to see how well it holds up.

 

Go for it, I've had mine on for a few months now, and the only issue I've had is a couple rock chips on the front bumper, but just spray over them, and they're gone. I've also blasted it directly with a pressure washer at the car wash, and no issues there.

 

Wow you got me tempted lol. And it can come off off the paint easily without leaving residue if I screw up or decide I Dont like it?

Also what did you use to contain the plastidip? Painters tape? Mind sending pics of setup if you have any?

 

It doesn't leave any residue at all. It's kinda like a big piece of rubber just stuck to the paint, and it peels up if you don't like it.

I used normal painter's tape from Wal-Mart. Any small overspray that isn't taken care of by tape/newspaper easily comes off with a claybar.

 

Oh alright cool. I may try the chrome emblem on the back first an see how that goes. I have an alloy grey with smoked out tail lights an other side markers. Thinking that may look good. I dont see many alloy greys around here lol

 

Here's a buddy of mines fully plastidip GT. Sorry for the bad cellphone shots.

 

Wow, looks awesome! I'd like to do that, but only as a temporary thing. Did he peel off the badges, or leave it like that?

Edit: Now he just needs to get it lowered...

 

I'd like to see more pics from other people of those plasti dipped 2013 style tail lights. I'm the creator of that

It's for my next video when i dip my whole '06 into monster green Boss 302 style. (and the tails ofc)
