I love plasti dipping. It's like painting for fun on your car and can be removed over and over again.
Off topic, I think I'm going to sharpie artwork on my mirror caps, or find someone more talented than me to do it, then put a clear bra over the mirror covers to keep it, just like that sharpie Lamborghini.

Thanks! I've been experimenting with my friend. We found out that what you want to do is pull off the tape while the paint is still wet if you want a nice hard line. So instead of the 4-5 coats with 15 mins in between to let it dry, mine was done with just 1 thick coat. Rmb to be careful because your tape is going to be wet too. So don't let it drip onto your car or smudge touch and smudge anything.

Finally, wait till your car is 100% cool before you do this. The first time I did this I did it right after i parked. The plastidip bubbled and I had to redo it.

You can either do 1 big coat (which i wouldnt recommend)

Or

You can spray 4-5 coats and wait a couple minutes in between. Then, when you are ready to peel, respray the entire area that you want the straight line and make sure the dip gets wet again...then pull.

That way you get 4-5 solid layers, the straight line, and never bubbles.

+1, done right its legit. I've had no issues thus far.

^ yup.

i dont know if you sprayed the inside of the handle or not but mine is starting to peel, im going to see if i can fix it but if not i can always respray

i wanna try the door handle thing but idk, i just keep feeling like it wont stay on there very well.

I put a fishing weight behind the handle then did coats inside and behind the handle


You need to do a LOT of coats of the leading edge of the handle where you put most of the pressure
By a lot I mean 5+ if you DD your car and want it to stay looking good for more than a month

Stop being a PU$$ and try it! Its like 5 bucks a can. You can peel it right off if you dont enjoy the look after the 5 minutes you spent spraying it.

If you DD your car, you will want to spray in inside of the handle where your fingers go a little heavier then the others. Plus you cant see inside when the handles closed. The more the merrier inside...

Yeah I agree with the door handle thing, LOL not gonna hold up, I was gonna plasti dip the emblems but buying the pre painted ones are def better!! :happydance:

I tried the door handles and took them off soon after. It wasn't that they wouldn't last, I just hated the feel of plasti dip every time I opened my door. I like the smooth feel of the OEM door handle a lot more.

did my fangs last week. match the stillen lip nicely

Why don't you just take it out and paint them? I would rather do that but I don't go the balls to take it apart since I am pretty anal about things when I mess up haha.

The fang area is THE perfect application for PlastiDip. It's rock chip prone, and you can easily do any necessary touch-ups with a small brush and few drops of PlastiDip.

Looks great! :tup:

That's probably what I'll end up doing.
