Does anyone know how it holds up when you wash it?

yo dawg, i heard you like plastidip so i plastidipped your plastidip so you can hold plastic while you hold plastic!

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but it helps if you put a small piece of tape inside the enclosed portions of the emblems for some added protection when removing the plastidip inside with toothpick, etc.
Also, when I did my emblems, I had a decent amount of spray back even though it wasn't windy. Be generous when taping off and covering. |
Nice!
|
for the life of me i cant find any colors besides black. thinking red indicators
|
I don't believe you can buy any other color except black off the shelf.

Have to find a Home Hardware around here
I'm sold on picking up some cans to try stuff. I see some people have done it to their rims. I won't do it to my Z rims, but I've been telling the wife her BMW would look sick with black rims...she refuses to buy some lol I'm thinking I'll spray them with this as it can be removed. I guess its just going to be a long task if I need to scrape it off? Shes on a business trip next week...haha...surprise! |
How do you think this is going to look on 40th? Possibly the fang and rear valence? I've seen plastidip on Yellow, Red, Blue, White and they look amazing! I just don't think it will give enough contrast to my liking.

I got the CF Fangs and Upper Trim up front...Rear CF costs lots more and EVO-R is out I think... |
So if I do this.. I would have to include "PlstiDip" in my signature. I'm not sure if I am ready for that. :rofl2:

If theres only a way I can use that plasti dip and make it glossy.. just in case I get tired of it or maybe go a different route. |
Gloss black roof on the 40th's is a nice touch from what I've seen

Plasti-Dipped Wheels

I tried the plasti-dip on my stock 18"s last night. Stuff is so easy to take off but doesnt really scuff that easily with rocks, chips, etc...
Let me know what you think of the rims. I will eventually get nice 19"s or 20"s but this is it for now.. $$$$ |
Looks good like always!!
|
So what exactly does the clear do when sprayed over areas that have been sprayed with black plasti dip? Does it give it a glossy appearance?

Looks like it comes out rather cloudy and textured. Making a Breakable Glass DIY: (Clear) Plasti Dip Transparent & apply Tint after 100% reversible - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum Or did you mean a proper clear coat? |
Cool, thanks for doing the search! I think I'll bypass using the clear. I really would like a glossy look to any bits that I spray, and with the matte look of the Plasti Dip...I think I'll just paint 'em proper.

I'd like to see a visual representation of a successful spray and removal of that very situation, good sir! :tup:

When it's done I'll take pictures of what it looks like as well as the removal process. |
i've read somewhere that spraying a clear coat over the plasti-dip makes it more difficult to peel off... has anyone mentioned that here yet?
looking fwd to the wheelbarrow pics! haha |
plasti dip is really hard to remove if you paint over it. Even if you do thick coats its breaks off in small pieces. If you do thin coats it would be very almost impossible to peel off.
|
I plastidipped my emblems last week and the lower part of the rear valence this morning. Thought the matte black would give a nice contrast to the glossy black.

I can imagine it getting harder, but it won't be impossible.
|
I'll let you guys know tomorrow. I did three coats of each product, and will attempt to peel it off.
