THE PLASTI-DIP MEGA THREAD!!!!!!

Does the Plastidip get ruined with tire rotations? I assume removing a wheel weight will ruin it, but what about removing lugnuts?

 

Would it be bad to BHLM with plasti dip?

 

Depends how careful you are. If a dealer does it, you'll get some tears. If you do it with a deep-well socket, you should be OK with a little touchup.

You mean inside the headlight, like a proper BHLM? It's just plastic. I would not BHLM with it. Spraypaint is cheaper anyway.

 

Well the thing with that is I cant buy spray paint lol

 

then u wont be able to buy plasti dip either. at least hear in CA at home dept. they ask for ID for it

 

No, I can buy plasti dip actually I do it all the time here.

 

Huh interesting. Stupid laws

 

I think its stupid I can buy that and not paint. I told the guy why I use it anyways and its stupid that I can buy something that is practically the same but can be peeled.

 

dipped wheels and gas door, going to tackle the grill some day this week and POSSIBLY the rear bumper and mayyyyybe the lower part of the front bumper. still not sure if I want to black out the emblems (side and rear) or just remove them and keep it clean. * also need to slap some tires on it after I level it because these PIECE OF CRAP "sailun terramax" tires can kiss my ass. their brand new and they BLOWWWWWWWWWWWWW. went down a dirt road and they didnt grip at all lol my old civic handled better on it

 

I tried searching, but is there a good way to dip the front emblem? Is it easy to remove or have you guys painted it with it on??

 

It's extremely easy to remove. Pop the hood and look at the back of the grill, it should be just a couple of tabs that you need to push.

 

Awesome!! Thank you. Im going to do that front emblem tonight.

 

I did some drepin this weekend. The stuff comes off easily so not sure how long of a shelf life it will have in the Florida weather. I suggest to anyone that does this to take the time to prep the area. Even though it does come off easily the over spray is a BEOTCH to get off. If you take the time upfront it will help you later on. Just sayin.

I still want to derp my kids but the wife won't let me!

 

Not my Tacoma but I dipped an extra clear windscreen I had for my motorcycle.
Can't beat $6 vs $80 windscreen

Holy Crap! That's a great idea!

 

Did the wheels this past weekend. Did about 5 coats with 25 minutes of dry time in between. Took most the day to take them off, tape them up, apply the coats, then put them back on.

I'm real happy with it so far. We'll see how long they last!

 

Posted these in another thread, but it applies to this plastidip thread too. lol
I Plastidip'd my rims today. used the bag/plastic around the brake components method.
It took me a couple of hours to do and used about 2 cans for all 4 wheels.

I derped all the chrome on my 06 white on (now) black taco. Everything went so smooth and it was so easy to do. And If I don't say so myself looked damn good!
