    Everyone says this stuff is tuff. bc its like rubber, so it doesnt chip like paint. It stays together very well.

    If you want to try and do the BHLM I'm helping some people in the next couple of weeks. I'll make a vid and post it so you know exactly how to pull them apart. It is a very easy mod and it's only about 10$ to do.

    Just got finished doing the emblems on the tailgate, Looks great with a few picky exceptions.

    The edges aren't extremely smooth, kinda sloppy looking, and it actually came off the points on the "M". also I dont think I let it dry long enough. The insides of the letters were not dry enough and didnt peel off too nicely. I think I need practice.

    Considering you can just peel this stuff off, its a great way to test out the look! Long term though I think I might pop off the emblems and spray paint em. But this stuff is sweet.

    Did you do it black or did you find some white plasti-dip?

    I've seen the white online but I can't find it in any stores. I'm wonderin how well it'd match Super White.

    Ok so I dipped my truck about 2 weeks ago and I have pressure washed(6in away) the crap out of it and not a single peel or chip. Today I went to a non touchless automatic car wash and those giant brushes were beating the crap out of my truck. I thought to myself "oh crap the chrome is back." I drive out and immediately inspect my truck. Grill/bumper/emblems are completely intact! This stuff rocks!

    I've seen multiple people on TW use the 3m dual-sided tape... I haven't gotten brave enough to use fishing line and a blow dryer/heat gun to take my badges off yet... Waiting on pollen-season to get done and over with to try plasti-dip... :/
