    Thanks, I'm actually really liking the black. I'm hoping to pick up a sport hood in the next month or so, but this will do for now.

    Thanks man! I was unsure about it at first. Thinking it might look a little cheap. But it turned out really good and damn it was easy to do haha

    Thanks, I'm really liking it more and more. Plus less glare off the hood. That's why I love plasti dip though, you can turn it back to normal so easily later on.

    How long would it last?

    I've been throwing around the idea of a full truck dip.

    can you draw on the plasti dip like how on the matte flat black or is it primer with a piece of chalk and it will come off? thanks

    The dip rubs off relatively easily. I would not try it. :)

    Dipped the stock rims until the SCS Stealth 6s are available. Just did them on the vehicle, no index cards or nuttin. Just fed old tshirts through the wheel to protect the brakes from spray and went to it. 6 coats over a 3 hour period, lug nuts included. When I rotate the tires Ill just throw some more dip on if it peels from the lug wrench. Coverage and ease of doing this was amazing...im really considering doing my rear bumper white now.

    My hood and roof are fading. No clear on the spots. Was considering plasti-dipping instead of painting. Thoughts?

    Quick question: If I dip my whole truck, and then dip the emblems, will the dip peel off the previously dipped body area witthout peeling off or discoloring it?

    People say wd-40 makes it peal easier but i have no experience with that method. I used a wet q-tip to rub it off my emblem when i redid it
