ok, I am definitely doing plasti-dip fenders now. How many cans did you need for the fenders?

I used about 3-4 cans doing the fenders. I can't remember exactly because I did it all at the same time.

A power washer will take it off if close enough. I have only sprayed the truck off once though. I used the prewash and spot free rinse on the parts that were plastidipped.

Did you have to remove the fenders or did you just mask off?

You don't have to remove the flares. I masked off the fender. The trick is to not tape exactly leave a maybe 2-3" gap between the tape and the flares. I watched the videos on YouTube. Just search for "dip your ride". He explains the taping process he uses.

I am sold on it... After doing my emblems.. And then pulling the plastidip off gaddy ford emblem to see and damage. The "chrome" was in good shape, so I sprayed it again.. Going to finish blacking everything out now..
