    im wanting my windows in my camper shell blacked out so you cant see them but tint can be pricy..so if i went with plasti dip, something that i could peel off would the heat from the inside do something to it?

    I doubt it. The dip on the outside of my truck (emblems, rims, gas tank lid, etc.) have been pounded bad by the sun and still hold up fine. Water tends to ruin dip more than the sun ever would. As for putting it on your window, it will go on like it would normally (if you were to do your emblems and such, just MAKE SURE you follow the prepping and applying tutorials/instructions).

    It was the normal shredded tire where it is just a band of rubber (and steel). I'd say it was about 4 or 5 ft long.....I think it also knocked an airbag sensor loose, the airbag light turned on the next day....I now have to go get that checked out this week

    WTF? damn your lifted and I'm lowered ... kind of making me feel worried about the next time I see ANY debris on the fwy now. :eek: I think I got a recall letter about that too (said that Toyota was working on a solution for it and will send another letter out to me when they have a remedy for it).

    I'm not lifted, just stock TRD offroad package

    But ya, move out of the way quickly if you see them. I was about 10-20 yards away doing 70 before I realized what it was.....it was night and it looked like a pot hole fix

    Anyways, we dipped mg friends plastic accent bars on his jeep today. They were very light gray from sun exposure. Sorry, forgot before picks

    LMFAO !!! I just showed my wife the video of the GTI being sprayed on the Dip My Car website and she asked if they have white. I say, "do you want your car white?" She says, "No, I want to spray our shower, and I'll never have to scrub it again. I'll just peel it off when it's dirty!".

    Actually sounds like a good idea!!

    in all honesty, if people have been dipping their entire vehicle as well as rims, badges/emblems, interior, etc. You will be fine dipping your fenders. All you need to do is properly prep object(s) your dipping, and follow accordingly on how to apply dip. :cool:
