Removing Plasti-Dip From Grill

[2014RubyRed]

Extensive experience with Dip removal. This is kinda messy, but it works great! Spray whatever you want to remove with WD40. Cheap and easy. Let it sit a while and spray it off. Might have to use your fingers a little to get it started, but it works. Good.


Good luck!!!

Hadn't dipped the Rap yet?

Thanks! Never considered WD40, spray it off with hose or pressure?

I guess I've only removed it by hand in the past. If you have a stiffer brush or something, you could probably use a garden hose.....

No, haven't dipped the whole truck yet. I've got a ton of other stuff going on right now. Maybe next month......

Dipping the whole truck doesn't seem to be popular with these trucks, lol. Had I known how much time I'd spend taping off stuff I may would have changed my mind, lol. Or at least gone with one color.

Hope you get yours done soon, curious to see how it'll look.

Here's how it came out and before DipCoat which supposedly will make it even better.

That turned out great!

Thanks! Just hope the main color does just as good

It's a very different game painting the large surfaces. Speed, and a good pattern are the name of the game. It took me a very long time to be able to spray a whole car at once without over spraying onto a dry panel or leaving trails.

If you want to increase your chances, tape off the sides, and paint just the hood, roof, and TG on the first run. After ample dry time use low tack tape to cover those panels, and then do the sides. That keeps a enough separation between work areas that you don't have to worry about contaminating them. The hood and roof are the hardest ones to get perfect too.

I definitely can see that, one thing I'm glad is that it's at least flat spraying.. Getting in and out of the bed over and over again to spray roof sucked! haha! Roof was a SOB

I have it mostly taped off now. They say hindsight is 20/20, should have painted main color first and then did trim. Easier to tape off that way

Where's the finished product?

It'll be done by this weekend..... I'll make a thread on it. Spraying will be quick, clean up will be time consuming for sure!
