    What did the first time I derped a set of rims is put a line of painters tape around on the tire as close to the rim as possible then pull it off after and it should take most of it off and the little bits left can be taken off easier.

    Check out DipYourCarcom on YouTube. They will pretty much cover any question you could possibly have about plasti dip. After a few videos I thought I was ready to do my wheels and emblems and they turned out great.

    It is going on my wheeln truck. So I want it to have as strong a bond as possible since it tends to get drug along things, and flopped more than it should.

    Came out great, really happy. BUT I am having a hell of a time getting the dip off the tires. Maybe I didnt get a thick enough coat on them, but goodness it's been a pain getting them off. I just gave up last night because my fingers were raw. Tire shine before would have helped, I'm sure, but does anyone have some suggestions?

    put wd40 on the plasti dip on tire and power wash it, DO NOT GET IT ON ANY PLASTI DIP YOU WANT TO KEEP ON YOUR VEHICLE IT WILL COME OFF WHEN YOU POWER WASH

    Sorry for the caps just dont want people complaining to me that its my fault all their dip came off

    Just finished my grill. First time ever using Plasti Dip and it turned out looking good. Pretty much going to start dipping everything now.

    Got some to do my grill before actually shelling out the money to get a factory super white grill, color is actually closer than I thought, but I think I liked the black better (that's the best part about this stuff!). Had some extra so I hit the lower valence too, and I actually kind of like it. Thoughts?
