    look back a couple pages, a guy dipped his XR rims, and then painted over them with green. looks nice.

    Thought I'd add my experience to this thread....

    Sounded intruiging, so I tried it on the tailgate badges. Worked well and was extremely easy to do. Home Depot had only black and it was $6 for a can. I wondered how it would hold up to pressure washing. No worries (after one washing at least).
    Here's a picture after hitting the badges directly with a pressure washer.
    3-1_1df53dbf46fa9af24818d7ec2eec96eac908f0f7.jpg
    After that went so well, I did the door badges and the chrome grill surround. ACE hardware had red, white, black and clear but they wanted $12 for a can. Got a can of white for the grill logo.
    I think it looks pretty good:thumbsup:

    Very interesting take with the white emblem. 12 bucks a can seems a bit steep in my opinion. I imagine with time the price will drop. I like the black grill though, looks WAY better.

    Cosmetic stuff.... best part HomerTaco Raptor Grille. Need to get a lift, armor and lockers.
    Have any of you plasti-diped your headlights? I don't see how that could work but i've heard a few people suggesting it when i tell them about my wheels..

    Yes
    I used the derp to make some eyelids. It peeled a little last week at the car wash but stuck back after it had dried.

    Anyone ever tried to "touchup" with plastidip? Inevitably I will get a cut or tear on my derped rims, can I just add some via brush and it'll bond right to the dried/old stuff or what?

    I do this my valence and rear bumper from time to time it will look like crap or huge bug will hit my bumper and I will just wash it and spray a little for touch up. Never had a issue.

    I would but I like to keep the coats consistent. With dip, the less coats you have, when it comes time to wash, the washing thing (both those slapper things and the jet sprays) will take off some dip weather you like it or not :( .
