    Has anyone done a whole truck dip on a first gen? If so, how do you peel the dip off the weather stripping between the flares and the body panels?

    I do not think this is a good answer, considering the weather stripping I'm talking about is about a half inch thick. I may, however, do this for the undercarriage and wheel wells.

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    I soaked it with wd40, then used a finger nail to scrape the goo off the rubber.

    How do you get the WD40 off the paint so that the dip sticks to it?

    Can someone explain to me fut the wuck derp is? I know dipping, since the product is after all called Plasti-dip and I've used it on rims, but where does this "derp" come from?

    OK

    I believe he is talking about after application. WD40 will break down the dip, so tread carefully.

    I don't have pics, but I plasti-dipped my chrome grille and bumper with the gun-metal gray plasti-dip, and dipped my toyota logo with the Camo-sand color.

    I want to dip all the emblems with the camo plasti-dip, but I have the same question as the guy above me.

    In my experience it was easier for me to peel away when it has been fully dry and then I use a toothpick or something to get at those spots in between the letters.

    Someone else may have a different experience though

    Thanks for the advice. I used a toothpick for the small spots.

    Unfortunately I have to re-do the side emblems as both times the tape took too much of the dip with it and peeled a "T" on one and an "A" on the other.

    The only thing that bugged me about my Tacoma was the chrome. Now that I have plasti-dipped it I have found myself in love with it again. I turn around to look at it when ever I walk away.
