    plan on doing all my badges, rather then removing them. But now I am thinking I am going to do my chrome rear bumper instead of paying to have it painted, color matched.

    I really have mixed emotions. I like them in the shade but as soon as the sun hits them they really look extremely glittery. Has anyone used a flat/mat clear over derp before? I think Iv seen somewhere that plastiderp does not play very well with clear coats is this true?? Any thoughts as to how I can mask some of the glitter effect?

    I just peeled it off

    Came off easier than I was expecting

    I am not gonna tape it this time and let it coat the inside of the cup holders instead of taping them off which is what cause the peeling that I saw a before I took it off

    Not sure if this has been posted before . . . but one of the few good uses for Plasti-dip in my world -- using the dip can (not spray bottle) to dip the tips of work gloves . . . mechanics gloves last about 1 month with hard use without this step -- the finger tips of the gloves always seem to give out first.

    I have run into the same issues, my work gloves used to only last a few days of handling firewood. In reactive fashion, I would wrap the finger tips after they were torn apart with black hockey tape. I can get a few seasons out of them now.
    My new solution has been proactive in taping the fingers before they wear out. I'll try dipping them next time. Thanks for the idea.

    Yeah, I've tried tape, but it never lasted . . . since dipping my glove tips when they're brand new (like the pair I pictured), my gloves last much longer. Make sure you get the can of plastidip not the spray can. You want the can pictured here (even though the can shows yellow, the top of the can will show the true color):
