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. ![http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/Jimshorts868/Car/downsized_0829111432.jpg](http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/Jimshorts868/Car/downsized_0829111432.jpg) ---

I don’t get the plasti-coat thing…it peels off? So it’s basically not durable? [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tried-plasti-dip-for-the-first-time/216020.md?page=2)
