Tried Plasti-Dip for the first time

Got bored on Friday so i decided to plasti-dip my grill. It works like spray paint but it dries as rubber for easy removal. So if i didn’t like how it turned out it would come right off. Used a little over half of a can and put about 4 or 5 coats on. I think it turned out pretty good. My main concern was if it would chip or come off when i washed it so i took it through the car wash yesterday and it held up fine. Ive seen a few guys do this to their badges and rims and it seems to last. If it ever does chip you could peel it off and do a fresh coat or just touch up that spot. I think badges are the next step and maybe the rims when i have a whole day to kill.

Yep works great. I did part of my Z in Plasti-Dip and if you need to fix it, just peal it off and try again :tup:

It just peals off?

Sounds complicated. I would think it would just peel off.

do the inner headlights for fun. would look evil.

7

did my badges, grille, and my old beater bike with plasti-dip 2 years ago. Not one single chip on anything! Holds up great, looks great, easy removal!

I like that better!

11

my goal is to eventually murder this thing out

12

Careful now, that style can suck if overdone.

13

Is it possible to “over-murder” something?

14

Hmm I might try this on my rims this weekend…good to know!

15

I use this shit on everything! You can put 3 coats of plasti dip on and paint over it with any color spray paint you want :slight_smile: It peels right off lol…

16

haha i dont know if you can over murder something but if you half ass it it wont turn out that well… ive seen a few of these completely murdered down to the head lights and they look awesome.

17

I like the look of a few badges and trim, but headlights / taillights / etc :tif:

^ looks nasty…i did my wheels with a base coat of plasti-dip and paint over them…holds up great so far, just concerned with how it will or will not peel off

I don’t get the plasti-coat thing…it peels off? So it’s basically not durable?
