PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

I’ve tried plastidipping in the past and didn’t like the way it turned out...

Last September, some moron hit me in a parking lot and their insurance company paid out almost $450 to replace the front bumper cover; Now I have a new bumper to work with!

Unfortunately, I when was using Goo-gone and a bunch over other shit to get tape residue off the truck from the Christmas lights, some of it dripped down and ate through the finish on the front bumper! So apparently the stuff I used is safe for paint but not composite plastic trim?!?!

 

July or August; Removed to wash truck...

 

So no damage then.

 

If it was longer than that, my guess would have been faded paint, but don’t really think it should have faded in that short amount of time. Give the area a good polish and hope that fixes it.

 

Grit and/or fine dirt will get under those magnets. Its a good idea to remove and clean them often.

 

Put the magnet back in the same place???? I dont see the problem here.

 

Is the rest of the truck just dirty?

 

Attracts dirt like a Magnet now.

 

What about sanding it down and priming and painting it yourself using duplicolor and some spraymax 2000 clear and be done with it

 

Would it still have that composite black plastic look when finished? I don’t want it to have a smooth/painted appearance...

 

Oh I thought it was just stock paint

 

Rustoleum truck bed liner , comes with abrasions , the correct amount to match the wheel flares and grill .

 

What do you mean by “abrasions”?

 

It’s textured paint

 

Like corrugated , not smooth like the paint or plastidip. If you use another brand , it will be really rough .look at my truck i did the grill .

 

I met this guy with a vintage Honda moped (or is this a scooter?) in Doylestown today; I believe he said it was a 1972 model...

 

How do I make sure it goes on evenly?

 

I like the way this looks, by the way; Can I buy this stuff at Pep Boys?

 

You spray it just like paint. Nice even side to side motions.
