Plasti Dip is a Mod

Looks like you didnt clean the grill emblem well enough

 

It had that rusty spotty stuff. I clay barred it and it didn't budge. Sprayed and hoped for best.
Pulled and coated again. Will peel and retry if doesn't look better

 

No, it's not. Its like air fresheners and plastic door handle trash bags. Sorry.

 

This.

 

Lol.

 

@ConchoTaco your Xmas lights on the bed would be considered as a "mod" tho.

 

What if I plasti dip the lights????

 

More coats will self level on front badge.

 

Is that good?

 

Yes. Self level = Smooth surface.
Adter thw firstfew light coats...I found plastidip (especially when spraying larger sections) is best when sprayed right up untill it looks like its going to run or sag
At that point it really smooths and melts into itself.. less dimpled or orange peel texture.

Also running hot water over the can changes the spray (youtube has a video)
Warm dip sprays with less texture.
It's like rubber.

Is debadging a mod..?
Swapping Led dome lights a mod.?
Slapping a new bedside decal sticker on?
Paying someone else to install shit you bought a mod...?
Plastidip is harder than alot of "mods" I see done here.

Might do bumper next

 

That emblem is easy enough to pull off, I would just scuff it, prime it, paint it, and clear it. I did mine body color that way and it hasnt chipped or anything and it looks mint

 

Nice job on taping off the rear badges.... Did you seriously paint it like that?

 

Heat the can in some warm water before you spray.

 

Not sure what you mean

 

No, he plastidippped it like that.

 

That’s the easiest way to tape off plasti dipped areas. It allows for an over spray area to make peeling easier. It’s not worth the time to tape the badges off around the emblem. That’s the plus side to plasti dip. 15-20min after last coat you can remove over spray guard and peel the area around the badges. Takes 5min.

 

One of the best tips out there for plasti dip!
