Plasti Dip

[xterror04]

Well After watching to many youtube video's on the stuff I decided to see what it was all about, It was quick and easy to apply and gave me a unique look.. what do you guys and gals think?

 

[NMTerras]

you're not finished...:hmmm:

 

[BlOwNXT]

Sweet looks good!

 

[NismoFire]

Luke, you inspire me...rocker panels FTW!

 

[Davcos]

Looks good man, I've been thinking about using some on the hood

 

[xterror04]

you're not finished...:hmmm:

im not? lol

 

[drbandkgb]

I have been wondering why more people do not use this instead of bed liner on the hoods.. If you dont like it.. Peel it off

 

[civicjoe]

yep thats kinda what i'm considering now, with my hood and my rims, well see what i can find in town. if im let down in town to the interweb!

 

[drbandkgb]

I buy mine at Lowes

 

[AZhiAZiAM]

look good. would you say it looks close to satin black or flat?

 

[Macland]

Hmmm, I really may do this with my hood. My wife ixnayed the bed liner soooo this is a great substitution.

 

[Macland]

Is this the same stuff?

I found it on Amazon for $7.49 + shipping $3.92

how much did it take to do your hood?

 

[drbandkgb]

Yep same stuff... Seems like it was cheaper at home depot or lowes... Mac its the same stuff I painted the Toyota with

 

[xterror04]

Same stuff, Around here I was finding it for $5.98 a can. my hood and fenders and part of the door was just one can, a little goes a long ways. I used 4.5 cans in total

It amazing stuff dont get me wrong I did my old wheels and my rear bumper with the stuff, but the only thing that's a pain with plasty dip is that once you get a scratch or a spot started it leaves a mark and the whole section starts to peel and leave an outline if you try to cover it up with more its just a pita some times.

 

[civicjoe]

it might be cheaper here than the dip your car website

[Trexterra]

oooooh blaze blue and orange... I could do some serious tailgating with that

 

[J Everett]

That's some pretty sweet stuff. I may need to use that to kill the hood glare from my roof lights....Hmmmmm.

 

[RATTFINK]

Looks good Luke!!

Yes, the only reservation I have with the stuff is that it is easily scratched and can peel easy.

 

[NMTerras]

Ao is this the stuff i should use to coat the inside of the bare metal wheel wells to cut down on rock noise?

I think you want undercoating for that Sean.

I used plasti-dip on all my emblems. Seems to be holding up well. I get mine at Lowe's also. I love the texture of the bed liner on my hood though and that's why I went that route. But this rig looks awesome with all that plasti-dip!! My wife didn't agree with the hood to start with but after showing her many examples she said do whatever makes me happy, now that it's done, she really likes it.

 

[civicjoe]

Funny how wives will do that isn't it. Lol

[NMTerras]

Thought it might be super noise absorbent

My wife said no on the bedliner and now no on this. I think this is something I may just go ahead and do and say whatever whatever I do what I want.

 

[civicjoe]

Boo at least it's reversible. I picked up a can of black today hit the front emblem at lunch lettin it dry well see how it turns out

[Macland]

Hehe, that's why I'm just gonna do it. Because it's removable. She thinks it'll look like I got in a wreck and replaced the hood with the wrong color.

Mac.. Do a badge... needs about 4 good coats... dont event tape it off... Crazy I know... Then peel off what you do not want...

If you dont like it on the badge.. peel it off

 

[GPD605X]

Yea, I'm debating on doing the rockers and maybe the hood. I really like what BoonDox did on his first X but I would stop at the plastic guard

^^That was my plan. I went to Wal-Mart fully intent on buying a can and they didn't have any. I think I'll see if one of the hardware stores or auto stores have it tomorrow.

 

[xterror04]

I couldnt find it at walmart either, if it does scratch you can rub a little laquer thinner on it to smooth it out then toss another coat on it

 

[civicjoe]

Well I did my front badge today ill probably do my rear nissan badge tomorrow the freaking ladder is in the way to do that one

 

[civicjoe]

they had it at true value just black though

 

[drbandkgb]

Joe.. What did you think of it

 

[civicjoe]

Kinda on the fence, Had to put it on pretty thick to get a smooth coat, maybe i rushed it, still might do my rims
did like how it finally came out though

 

[drbandkgb]

I found doing 3lighter coats the n one a little more heavy works well..

 

[Roadwarrior]

How do you "peel" it off? Razor blade?
