I tried to make the light like the fesler bumper.
i did all this in about 1 hour.

when u did the front bumper, did you take the whole front clip off, or tape it off. I really want to do the bumper, I always liked the look and looking at doing it.

I don't see why not. Try it. Don't like it? Peel it off.

how do you guys prevent all the bubbles
some of the areas i spray are smooth, the others come out looking like cauliflower ear

Shake the can frequently, keep the can warm (applying in cool/cold weather can cause globs), keep the nozzle clean, and apply from a consistent distance.

Experiment on something, spraying from 6-8" away, then a foot or so away, and see the difference in texture. In between coats, turn the can upside down and clear the nozzle by spraying until just propellant (no dip) comes out.

Make sure the surface is clean. I wiped all the parts down with alchohol and only handled them at areas that wouldn't be sprayed so the oil from my fingers wouldn't contaminate the surface.

did some more plastic dipping this weekend. Painted a center stripe on the front and back.

ponywars · 05-28-2013, 11:14 PM

does spraying down affect it?
my bowties came out really smooth but i took the bezels off and sparyed downward and they were kinda bumpy. im still pretty satisfied but you can tell upclose the quality is average

Since the rattle cans are definitely position-sensitive, it might matter. Keeping the can upright may help.

So far I've plasti-dipped my: wheels, bowties, SS badges, Camaro lettering, taillight trim, and spoiler.

jcthegrate · 05-29-2013, 09:15 PM

started with my tail light bezels. then did bowties. still iffy about doing my wheels... how does it stand up to car washes/cleanings on the rims?

Syn3rgyGr33n · 05-30-2013, 01:25 AM

Every time I wash the car I spray the wheels with the "power" setting to get any dirt off. I don't take it to a car wash so I don't know how it will hold up in there... They still look great after 6 or 7 months!

Same here. I dipped my wheels a while back and they still look great.
