Plastidip=Win

I don't believe anyone on here has but there are some people who have done other vehicles. Not advisable to do with rattle can

I did my friends 03 silverado. Came out decent, I only say decent because its a Chevy. Aside from that I did my hood, the center part.

Finally got the guts up yesterday afternoon to get rid of the grey...all of it. Did the grill, skid, both bumpers, flares, and mirror reflectors. It turned out awesome! If anyone is on the fence about it, just do it, its so simple. All I need to do now is the chrome on the Ford emblem on the tailgate. I attempted to get the windows tinted today, but he only had enough to do 1 window! Have to go back another day

Hows this holding up still. Have you had to fix any rock chips in the fendor flares or the grill. Really thinking about doing this...

I redid the flares and grill about 2 months ago just to make it like new again. The plastidip is pretty tough but those stock tires were hard on it. They throw a ton of rocks.

I am on the fence about the grill because of how long it would take to peel that stuff off... Have you peeled your grill?

I am definitely doing the bumpers, fenders, skid

The grille would be hell to peel off I think. The flares weren't too bad. My daughter helped me get them peeled off. If I do this again I'm going with paint since I like the look of the black. Then I'll do the grille, flares, hood vents and rear bumper.

I used a crimped wire brush, since I decided to paint it.. Takes one a couple of minutes to do the skidplate..

Just an idea for those of who looking t dip the wheels, or any of those parts, other than probably the grille, I have my own spin on using plastidip since I have been using it for a while. For my wheels, I do the standard plastidip, a nice 3-4 thick coats and let that completely dry. Then from there, I take an automotive enamel paint (gloss black) and do another 2-3 coats of that on top of the dip. That way the wheels don't look dipped and they are not a flat black. If you do it right, it looks like they have been professionally painted. Anyway, with this method, if you don't like or want to remove, you just cut away at the paint and get to the plastidip and you can peel it all off as one, just like plastidip. The paint is much easier to clean than the dip and is a stronger finish. It also doesn't have the tendency to look faded when dirty. Also, you could really use any color you want over the dip as long as the coats are thick enough to cover the base. Just an idea I thought I would share with you all.

FYI plastidip also makes a glossifier,metalizer and pearlizer top coats.

you got any pics would love to see how it looks.

 

[banman12]

Yes, they do make the glossifier, but that will not change the texture. I like the paint over it cause you get the best of both worlds. Good looks, and its not permanent. I do have a few pics, not great though, only iphone, of the wheels on my old Silverado right after they were done.
