new plasti dip on the badges

So....plasti dip or not??


I'm on the fence.....

 

If your on the fence, then do it. If you dont like it after, then it just peals off easily.

 

I agree with HawkShot99 just do it. Make sure you spray at least 3 coats so it will be easy to peel off if you only use 1 coat it will peel in pieces. And the sooner you remove the easier it will be.

 

First Dip ever- I dipped my grill logo but I used the other brand.... Rustoleum Peel Coat. I did 4 light coats and one medium coat, then after a couple hours did a 5th coat- came out nicely, but I wish the red was a little darker. The finish itself is great. I've never used the Plasti-dip but I read that the Rustoleum is thinner and tends to require more coats but gives a nicer finish and I read it doesn't get "splattery" or clog the nozzle. I like how it makes the red hook below more visible too.

Each coat was left to dry for five minutes. After the medium final coat I did another one a few hours later just in case and it worked out.

 

Did my front emblem, I'll get a picture up. Thanks for the input guys. Happy Healthy and safe New Year

 

Question; what do you have to do to prep the surface before using the plasti dip on shiny chrome pieces?

 

I dipped my chrome bumper with no prep. I just made sure it was clean and dry. It came out good people thought I bought a black bumper.

 

Same with my grill.

 

I just wiped it with a paper towel for a few minutes

 

O.K. Good to know. Thanks.
Where did you get it?
Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.?

 

Never mind...went and Googled it. Seems like Home Depot, Etc. will have it.
Anyone done their fender flares with it?

 

I used simple dish soap and warm water and made sure it was very dry after. I then let it sit to continue to air dry for about half the day just to be sure. I probably could've hit it with a hair dryer or whatever, but I had other stuff around the house to do, so it didn't matter.
