THE PLASTI-DIP MEGA THREAD!!!!!!

Reinstall pics? This might tempt me to do the same

 

I haven't had the time to put it all back together, currently riding around with zip-ties holding the climate control and 4x4 switches in place.

If I get around to finishing up tonight after work, I'll post some pics.

 

This looks way better than the one I did

I need to improve my rattle can skills.

 

I actually did that with a 4 year old can. Didn't go on smooth at all the first 2 applications. I just kept going and it looked better each pass. Did 5 coats.

 

I originally did it like this.

 

Ignore the trail dust, still haven't cleaned it since the last trip.


Steering wheel sticks out like a sore thumb now, anyone know how to remove the silver parts?

Dirty

 

Damn it looks nice! And you're a fellow manual transmission! I'm sold

 

My dad always said I should learn from other people's mistakes. So.. if you are doing this for fun, have a ball....just put extra layers on. The thicker on, the easier off. (This is the learn from my mistake part)

If you're doing this "to see what it looks like". Look at other people's pics and go ahead with paint. Pain in the ass to remove from the cracks and crevices. Wish I just painted the wheels.

 

Wow that looks good, I may just do that. So you dipped all that with just one can?

 

Suggestions for a 'stainless steel' type darker silver effect? Wanting to do the badges on my Blue Ribbon Metallic truck, not sure if going all the way to a graphite or anthracite would be too dark.

 

No, i ordered the kit from the website that comes with a cleaner and a microfiber and I think 4 cans so I probably used 3.5 cans total for wheels and bumper. it was cheaper than buying 4 individual cans.

i have noticed i didn't do a good job on the center caps... they were harder because i was wiping the toyota symbol after each coat to keep it silver and it messed with the adhesion in the corners/creases, so i'll probably pop those off and re-spray them with what i have left, and be a little more detail oriented with them.

 

I would hop on the website and look at the custom colors, pick out a few and then chat with a rep. they were really helpful when I was deciding.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

Seems only a few places carry the Anthracite grey.

I thought I got lucky with my local lowes but it doesnt seem to be the same color, or is it:

Nope, just grey... I think most of the cool colors are proprietary and only on the website. Might could find a color and check Amazon though.

Not very noticeable but looks good for an easy project will upload pics on truck soon just drying still

 

That looks good...let's see it once you re-install the liftgate.

 

Not very noticeable change due to the color of the truck and still unsure how I like it, we shall see... I did see a truck with the hood plastidipped and that looks pretty sweet. Hard not to platiderp things when it's so easily reversible!

 

Looks great!
