    Does the white stain? I'm finding the red stains if you don't clean it relatively soon like within a day or so. Anyone find anything that helps cleaning? If things go as planned I'll be dipping another whole vehicle I own vintage gold over T-day weekend.

    not well, it rubs and scratches easier on the plastic..

    Gonna try today hopefully if I can get some free time. Going to start with grille. 1st coat really light. then probably 4 coats total will do it? Also when do I peel, after I spray last coat or wait for it to dry then peel?

    Clean grille first with rubbing alcohol or dish detergent?

    The truck is a super white.

    I think I'm going to do tan or red on the whole truck next time.

    Just got finished. A couple spots on the bottom inside the plasti dip pulled some off the chrome when I was peeling the tape off. I sprayed the Toyota emblem on the front too just can't decide if I like it or not. Should I leave it black or peel the dip off back to chrome to give it some contrast. I've got a black truck.
