After cutting out the hole for the fangs I would still have to tape the opening down right? Or will the plastic adhere to the bumper without taping?

Neither- not that intense.

Just walk into a Lowes or Home Depot- Go to the Paint/Tape section and there should be a little case on the end of the isle that has really cheap plastic wrap. In a little cheap bag. Its just for painting a room and laying it down on the ground

$2 TOPS. I think Home Depot is $1.98.

It fits the whole front or whole back of any vehicle

for a clean line you gotta pull the tape while the plasti dip is wet. check out dipyourcar.com or youtube..... pretty good tips out there

Sorry I forgot to toss up some pics so I ran outside to take a few. Overcast at the moment so the pictures aren't the best.

Pictures were FRIGGIN HUGE and I hate having to scroll sideways.

Decided to black out the rear license plate area-
I think it looks kinda nice!

As some of you may know I plasti dipped my side skirts way back for the track. Looked great and lasted against the abuse. But when you spray this on FRP material and not a smoother surface good luck getting it off. Boy was that a chore. Would not just peel off. Goo remover just made a oily mess of it. Brake cleaner did a great job but was still work. Finished it of with snading it off. Now my skirts are going to be painted.

did you try any of the thinner that dip yourcar.com makes?

I'm gonna be taking some stuff off this weekend and fixing a couple of small issues. ill let you all know how it works.

Also I've found the thicker you put it on, the easier it is to remove.... haven't tried it on a unfinished surface though....

I didn't bother looking on there site. Just did a quick google search. I did put about four coats on it. I just think it has to do with the material I sprayed it on. It held up great though.

When you guys plasti dip your rims, do you guys do the inside too or just the face/spokes of the rim?

kenchan · 07-16-2012, 09:57 PM

^^ good info.

I had no idea it would turn out nice. I dipped the fangs and the spoiler but did not go all the way. I left a portion "un dipped". Also did the rear diffuser.
