3rd Gen Plastidip thread

Partial dip.

 

That's awesome thx wtf happened to the shifter?lol

Man if only the crime pieces on the vents and such would just as easily pop off for derping.lol

 

Only thing so far is the deflector on my roof rack.....but I'm plotting more things....

 

I think that guy swapped some other stuff so a bunch of stuff was taken apart. There is a thread on here where a guy sells a set of vinyl to cover all that dash chrome and the cup holder chrome. Good price for it too, good results, people like his stuff.

+1 @rrentrop also has a sticker for the steering wheel badge.

The interior is much more chill now:



I also sanded and painted the shift boot ring when I made my shift knob:

 

Looking good @tonered !

 

Thanks! No chrome flashing in my face or reflected in the windows is a great thing.

 

I am looking for something to go on the grill, badge or letters, anyone have ideas? Leaning towards the custom car grille sharp lettering, just not sure about having to glue them on.

 

Check this out... I got t he stormtrooper it's awesome and great quality.

Plastidipped hood scoop, mirror covers and the chrome on my running boards.

 

Looks great! I did my grill, but now I want to do the mirror covers on my QS.

 

Looks great! That is what I am wanting to do as well. Did you have any trouble with the TSS connector and on 18 grills does it require to remove around 8-12 screws to remove the bezel instead of just the tabs on the prior models? Sorry if this information is out there somewhere but do not what to mess anything up when I attempt this on my OR 18.

 

I couldn’t agree more, I did about 8 for all my emblems.

 

How difficult was this to do? Bought a can from Home Depot and wanna attempt this today.

 

It was all pretty self explanatory once I got in there. Yes, you will need to remove the screws, they are what hold the chromed piece in.

 

Not very. Get some newspaper and blue painters tape and be overzealous with your applications. One can should definitely cover it all. Just be sure to CLEAN THE BADGES before you apply, you don't want any oil or road grime on there to mess with the adherence of the plastidip.

 

Did you paint the bumper chin while still on the vehicle or did you remove it? If you did remove it, how do you do so?

 

Here are my emblems.

One thing I learned is to NOT be shy and afraid to get the dip on the body pain as long as you have taped off the section so you have a well defined lines. Don't be afraid to apply generous coats (i.e. 7-9). Also be sure to clean the surface well before.. I used a 50/50 mix of water and rubbing alcohol and a microfiber towel.

During (notice I sprayed the body as well. LOL My neighbor came out and thought I was crazy for spray painting my new truck. He's never heard of PlastiDip)
