    I'm tempted to put some stripes on the truck, and if I dont like it simply pull it off.

    I have seen a Speedway Blue X-Runner around town with two white stripes on the driver front fender. It looks really good IMO.

    I have been thinking about trying black with the dip as well. Post pics if you attempt!

    Camo Tan, special ordered. Dip Your car doesnt have it so I bought 2 gallons from some industrial tools website and thinned it down my self. Sprayed it out of my HVLP gun. Im not satisfied with the finish so i'll probably redo it down the road:

    First coat is what i messed up one and is what is making the texture rough. Plastidip told me to thin 20% which was way too thick. 50% did the trick but first coat was already dried.

    sanded and painted my '99 taco grille with flat black rustolium paint... after thoroughly cleaning with rubbing alcohol, I applied the first thin coat of p-dip "Glossifier." About 10 minutes later i applied the second coat. It was after the third coat started to set, when i noticed small white colored bubbles along the creases of the grille where the p-dip did not stick. After peeling off the p-dip, I repeated the process with the same results...

    -the temperature was about 55-60 degrees F
    -plasti dip can was recently purchased from walmart, and shaken thoroughly

    any ideas what is causing the small bubbles?

    I have rattle canned several items in the past but this plasti dip seems to be a whole different ball game... help, please?
