Did the rear bumper today so I'm all done and very happy with the results from plastidip :)



I'll add a tip for plastidip to not tape off closely the part your doing but to leave a gap and peel the excess to make the edge vs trying to tape the edge. Better edge and easier job... I screwed up one part of my front bumper with a taping error vs just letting the plastic do the edge.

The keyhole I did I just taped a square leaving an 1" plus around and it's perfect circle I could never had done with taping.

 

yep. thats the beauty of plasti dip! soooo easy to work with, and any sharp edges will make the perfect trim for the part.

 

i ordered the plasti dip clear and the new plasti dip smoke spay. i will be using the smoke on the head lights and the clear on the wheels. i will update once it arrives

 

Never knew they had smoke stuff... looking forward to the pics!

 

Im.definitely gonna do this... questions though ...
Did you remove the wheels from the truck to do it?
How long does it take to cure?

 

Can says 4 hrs mine was dry in about 1

 

I did remove them, put the caps and lugs back on and touched up where needed

 

x2

 

Looks great!

 

well just a update, i orderd the smoke and the clear plasti dip. it has been on back order and should be here in the next few days. i will update as soon as i can. the plans are to smoke out the headlights and redo my wheels and then clear.

 

well i got the smoke and the clear today, i can say i had high hopes, i think to high. the product goes on and works like the orginal. i bought it thinking i would smoke out my head lights and other random items. it just didnt dry as clear as i thought it would , o well
before

after




peels off easy, gf had fun peeling it off

 

That smoke just makes it look dirty.

 

^ Agreed. It was worth a shot though!

 

yeah well now we know. i sprayed some on a old ford emblem i had to see how it would do. sorta has that black chrome look. may do my emblems and key holes .

 

I talked my buddy to do it on his 07. truck looks alot better he didnt take the greatest care of his wheels

 

^ Looks good. I'm planning on picking up a few cans tomorrow... got a few things in mind for the Mazda!

 

post your picks when you do, we may need a thread just for plasti dip

 

Looks good!




Anybody do this to their rockers yet?? Pics? Or am I being a noob and not searching?!?!?!?? My rockers are BEAT.


Can someone please post a pic of the product can?

 

well i dont have any of some on the rockers but i did use the clear plasti dip on my hood




i used it as a rock shield. the key to this stuff is to spray it on thick so it comes off easy

 

I just bought 4 cans today across the border... $5.38/can compared to ~$17 here!

 

You act like we're across country!

Oh, wait.

lol.

 

I have thought about it because I am not sure if I want to paint them or not. Maybe soon I will.

 

Spray it on thick.... So multiple light coats or one or two thick coats??

OH DUH! I've seen that stuff! lol.


Thanks!! I shall pull flares and shoot rockers!

 

Looks great man. Did u use a spray can of it or what. Please advise as I want to do this to my truck

 

we did 3 good thick coats on the red 07.
