What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Peel it while it's wet

 

Yeah this was an empty gravel lot by the lake, I try to be a respectful driver since I hate when people are driving like douches, most of the residential streets that are flooded are completely roped off around here, plus I'd never drive through a flooded street since half of them are collapsing, not gonna risk ruining my baby!

 

Thank you sir! I will give it a try if go back this route. Leaning towards just leaving them alone for now... Or at least till I get some painters tape lol

 

I wish there was a "Likes given stat".

Or maybe there was and Chad broke it?

 

There is, only 1 person can see it though lol.

 

Well I tried plastidipping my grill surround. The white matches well. The problem is it looks like sandpaper. I took my time and put 5-7 light coats about 30-45 minutes apart. Not sure what happened. Any ideas?

 

High humidity might be the culprit.

 

Have you put a level on the lights or mount? If they're leaning, you could try shimming the mount with washers.

 

I'm under the impression that all Plasti-Dip is a flat finish.
Maybe try a sealer with a gloss finish on some similar material and see if you get a closer match to the white paint

 

Very well could be

 

The white matches very well. I used 3-4 coats of the glossifier afterwards as well. Looks like sandpaper.

 

OP-Did you properly clean and allow the surface to dry before spraying?

 

Like this?

​

 

Washed, dried, and then wiped down good with rubbing alcohol

 

Ding ding ding. I did my rear bumper white last fall and it matched perfectly, flat and all. Redid it a couple weeks ago and had to remove it next day. Looked like sandpaper is right. That and gotta make sure the spray nozzle is clear.

 

Sounds like the humidity. Guess I'll have to wait a few months.

 

Got access to a garage?

 

What's the easiest way to remove it? Just start peeling?

 

Yes but I would think it would be just as bad in there wouldn't it?

 

Might not be too bad with a dehumidifyer.
