This Plasti Dip product is Awesome!

Just cut the clear bra off in the fang area so you can spray on to the paint directly.

isnt clear bra really tight tho? I would think it would be hard to cut or get down to the paint since the bra is on so tight. Maybe take it to a shop so you dont have a bunch of knife scuffs on your paint. And even with a cover Idk if it would sit snug over the bra, I think it would as its thin, but I feel it would stand up a lil. Just imo.

So let me get this right. If I were to plasti dip my front fangs, I would not be able to use a drive through car wash anymore?

You would risk peeling it off. It's meant to be temporary and if you wanted something that wouldn't damage as easily, an overlay would be in order.

If you apply it properly, it won't come off in a car wash. If you go back and read the posts in this thread, numerous people have reported no problems with car washes.

I've literally scrubbed bugs off of my grille are with zero problems.

This is my first attempt at plastidip... though I was skeptical at first, I believe in moderation and considering what you do accent this product is excellent.[/IMG]

Looks good. Cant really see its to dark. Thing is I domt always have time to wash the car by hand so I always fall back to laser washers. Then come home and wipe off any water spots which tend to be at minimal. This product looks good but if its that delicate then ot probably isnt for me. I can only imagine what one day in the highway would do to it.

Just the rims..

If you spray the dip with the wheels left on your car, your bound to get dip inside the wheels. Its all good though, it gets black inside there anyways.

Yeah but I think to get a more full effect I would spray inside as well, it only takes a couple more mins to shoot it inside with a couple more sprays. You just cant do it with the wheels on the car thats all.

I plastidiped a large amount of my last car, it turned out great and lasted without a problem for over a year.
