    Hey dudes,

    I just found out about this stuff and have a few questions. (I scrolled through about 20 pages of this thread, but could find answers)

    1) I assume there are different shades of this stuff? What best matches the "black sand pearl" black 2nd gens? I would like to do my rear bumper and chrome on my front grill.

    2) It look like some folks take their wheel off to plasti-dip them, while others leave them on and just cover the brake calipers. Is there any harm in the latter? Any issuess with spraying over the lugs nuts?

    Thank you in advance for the help!!

    Agreed, that looks terrible. One suggestion is you could paint over the plastidip, to a color you prefer.

    That gives you the flexibility to remove it later on, but have a closer color match.

    There is no gloss black for the black sand pearl.

    Take the wheels off, don't be lazy.

    is there a way to mask off the toyota emblem? and also do you have to take the wheel off to do it? or can you do it on the truck?

    Greenbergler yes I would say you need to take the wheels off as you are basically painting them. Also I made sure that the part of the wheel that actually touches the hub was covered so it didn't get painted/Plastidipped


    The only way I can think of keeping the emblem chrome, would be to put tape over it cut out the shape.

    I didn't mask mine. Just spray the centercap with 3-4 coats and let it dry for an hour or so. Once you're sure its dry scatch the face of the emblem with a toothpick or your fingernail to get the plasti dip to tear. After you get a tear in it slowly peel it off of the emblem and it will break cleanly at the base.
