    For people that have plasti dip'ed their lower valance - Is it easy to clean bug guts off or is it too fragle to clean like that?

    Also anyone try the white plasti dip yet? I am thinking of doing my eyelids...

    so i want to do my rims, i saw the one with the index cards, does the plasti-dip cling from the rims to the cards? i mean when i take out the cards is it gonna start the plasti-dip peeling on the edges of my rims?

    that was me who did it :p but the index cards didnt stick to the rims after the plasti dip. i didnt have enough to make mine perfect (get every since knock and cranny) but they came out good. the only part i didnt get was where the lip of the rim was where the index cards were sitting. couldnt notice unless you really looked for it

    You should be able to take an exacto blade and cut around the outside of the rim between it and the cards to insure they wont' pull on it if you're worried about it.

    I am thinking of plastidipping my wheels as well. It looks like enough people are having good success with it. I like the red accents from the first post only I was thinking of just doing the toyota emblem red. I want to do my fender flares too some time.

    I see. Is it more durable than the average kryon stuff?

    I do like the look of flat black rims (on trucks).

    Roughly how many cans would it take to do all the badges and rear bumper? I'm getting bored and have a Walmart near by, but I have a rather small budget.

    My truck is all black so I can't participate in that look, but I really like it on the speedway blue. Good job
