    No kidding!!!!. How many freakin' threads do we need on this PD ricer mod anyway? They should just sticky all these freakin' PD threads into one, as well as badges and decals in general.

    Some people even refer to badges and decals as a freakin' MOD!

    Rant over go back to your rattle can mods.

    ya man it looks good!! On the V you probably did go a little fast. now that it has already started peeling, when your washing and drying your truck, dont rub or anything on it or ill most likely peel more. other that, great job :thumbsup:

    Can plastiDip be used as a spray on horizontal door molding?

    I have thought about doing something for lower part of doors where my wife's door hits me in the garage.

    Specifically,
    1 if I taped off a straight line would it be smooth edged when I removed the masking tape.
    2 would it hold ok right on the paint?

    Be careful with the tape touching the plasti dip. I messed up a little bit because the dip stuck to the tape and wanted to pull off of the coated surface when I removed the tape. I heated up a piece of wire to melt the parts that stuck to the tape.

    I've read where you should remove tape while the dip is still wet.

    The fundamental problem now is that because there are so many threads, the search function is less useful. You have to spend a ton of time weeding through everybody's plasti dip threads, and therefore to save time users will create a new thread.

    Did the bumper and wheels today. Bumper was a piece of cake. Looks like it should hold up pretty well. The wheels however were a HUGE pain in the ass and I have 0 confidence they will survive the first car wash I take them through. I don't recommend doing the wheels. Do they look good? Yeah.... but is it a good use of the product, not at all. Here's some pics:
