Sweet thread stieger... Plastidip is way more popular than I would of thought. I'm tempted on doing my roof too, maybe the spoiler and some hood spears... But I'm not ready to jump in just yet.

Ive been seeing all of these plasti dip threads but never really paid them much attention until now.. I feel like ive been living under a rock lol. This stuff seems great especially because if you mess up you can just peel and try again. I dont know what I can use it for but im sure i'll think of something. Thanks for the write up.

Yep not a problem. The best part about this stuff is it comes in all different colors. If people are interested I can put an order in with a contractor I know and get a bunch of different colors for people. Up to you.

I WILL NOT use a blade to score the edges because thats just down right stupid. I'll post up picks later. It looks oK but the passenger side edges look a little stupid up close - its reversible so what the hell right?

i did my front bumper all in about 10 min
taped it off (took like half an hour)
then paint, light coat 1min wait, light coat 1 min wait, then two heavy coats 1min apart, pull tape as soon as done.

looks great no runs and no ruff edges.

Glad it all worked out for you. I guess I should really put the tape thing in my OP

JCO2185 · 05-26-2011, 08:11 PM

I'd love this stuff if it came in gloss black. I would have taken my hood spears off and done them with this instead. Just sucks they only offer flat black.

If you read some my earlier posts you will see that they offer plasti dip in other colors, be it theyre all flat.

I've purchased it, but still haven't done the taillight bezels... don't know how to do it exactly without getting dust or pollen in the plastidip... grrrrrr!

I wouldn't worry about dust or pollen. You should be fine. Unless you have a paint booth it isn't going be perfect. I did it outside and my wheels look fine, no pollen.
