    I do not know what he did, but I wouldn't bother removing them since plasti-dip is able to peel.

    Goatee removal, plasti derp
    Taped and sprayed. All I read about the clips breaking I didn't feel like buying more when it's easy to get perfect edges with the dip.

    I had read the same bug figured I give it a try. But then I saw how they broke them. The damn thing is a total pain to remove so I just taped and sprayed as well.

    Well I think I've found a fix for the sticky/tacky feel of plasti dip. So I have this packet of dash wipes I got from Wal-Mart for like $1 used them today to clean off dash and the painted part of the dash. Oddest thing after I did that the painted dash parts were smooth as a babies butt.lol so I took another to my grill. Same result... So hey fyi for anyone... I'll get a pic up later of the pack because I've no clue what else would do it. I know a damp cloth with just water and some soap didn't do it.

    T-Rex grill with black bezel. Blacked out all the badges and added the Tacoma on the tail gate. The windows have been tinted to the darkest law will allow.
    I've been thinking of doing the same thing. Looks nice. Does it help with the glare?

    In to see what exactly you used. I hate my plasti dip already for its tackiness. This would make me feel much better.

    Meant to post sooner but spaced it till your post.lol

    I tired to see if there was a list of ingredients but didn't see though was in hurry to get back to couch with wife to avoid wife agro.lol

    I'm guessing other brands of similar things will work. But at least I know these do, which I'm happy for though still amazed because just one of them odd things in life you come across.

    Edit: one other thing to add I used glossifier on both my dash parts and grill. Not sure how these work on straight dip w/o glossifier.

    I'll see if I can find them tomorrow, thanks! I'm sure something like armor all would work too. It's probably the oils in it that breaks the plasti dip down slightly and smooths it out

    I saw that post and that is part of the reason I am asking. Thinking about dipping them instead of the rhino line that I had on my 06

    Honestly I wouldn't I'd get the plastic lettering from ebay/Amazon for that.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B018...te+letters&dpPl=1&dpID=41xsriyHQbL&ref=plSrch

    If your set on using plasti dip I would use automotive masking tape to tape off against the lettering then painters tape after that. Automotive tape does seem to get a nicer seal allowing for cleaner edges in areas like the tailgate, largely flat open areas.

    And make sure to peal tape when wet.
