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

Just done this afternoon, super easy, not perfect but I am deff happy with it!

 

Just noticed you covered the chrome with white...looks awesome! Great job-

 

I just stuffed newspaper behind the wheels and sprayed away.
If you want I can help ya next weekend. I used 4 cans total for the wheels and 2 badges.

 

Wow! Paint match is pretty close, looks way better

 

Thanks. I reallly am not a fan of chrome especially with white. I am actually about to go outside now and spray my rear bumper white too.

Thanks. I'm just waiting now to get my tires so I can mount the new wheels

 

Oh and the paint is almost a perfect match. I just need to get a good wash and wax on the car and I doubt you would even be able to tell a difference besides the plastidip is obviously matte finished

 

Just got done going over my chrome rear bumper and smoking the tail lights. still need to do my third brake light tho. Heres all the pics from my project

 

You stay at the landing ? theres a few of us around greenville

haha good eye man!

 

Bought pink plasti dip. And dipped my emblems. And did the tires with just a pink marker. Came out pretty cool. Truck is a little dirty in the pics. And the pink looks a little dark in pics. It came out pretty good. And very pink haha.

 

Managed to locate a store that carries this but they charge $20 per can.

Is it 1 or 2 cans for front valance? Thanks.

 

Dude, thats a rip off! Buy it at Lowes, its under $6 a can.

And you only need one can for the front valance.

 

No, honestly I didnt even bother washing it. Just taped off the needed areas and went to work.

 

Yep, but everything costs 3x as much in Canada .

I still have about a 1/3 - 1/2 of a can from last year when I did my badges and bought one more today. Should be enough then.

 

^^ Damn dude. If you were in Calgary, I'd sell you a can of mine. I just went down to the US and picked up dozen cans for under $80. XD

 

It's $16 a can in Edmonton. I get my parents to bring me a few cans when they come to visit. They live 10 minutes from the border and get it for $8.00. Ill get them to bring a box next time and pass the savings on to some locals.

 

Did the front valance yesterday. All from the same can I did the badges last year. Even touched up a rock chip in the Toyota emblem. Did not use the new can I bought at all. Just did not want to tape everything and than ran out, but I guess my estimate was way off...

Looks ok, but I think it would look better if I get rid of the bug deflector.

 

derped rocker panels and fenders

 

I am going to re-paint mine this weekend and had watched the videos on how to spray them without removing from the truck. I noticed that your lug nuts aren't black though. What did you do to keep them from getting painted? I don't mind them being black, but i know that the dip will rub off when i rotate the tires.

 

mine have been rotated once and taken off for various things about 4 times with the dip on and really the only one messed up is the locking nut because of the key. the other thing is the barrel around the nut gets scrapped from the socket especially when using the impact gun
