This Plasti Dip product is Awesome!

ericzmyers

i did mine by just taping where i wanted a clean line, a few interior spots and was careful with over spray. i didn't mask anything else.

aslo a piec of cardboard or a trash bag behind the fangs is a good idea to block the radiator. in order to get a good color match i had to spray over the entire area.

the small residual spray is easily removed with a microfiber cloth and windex or you could use goo gone as mentioned here previously. The product is easily removable so prep work is important but not such a PITA. it took me a while to get comfortable with knowing i can just peel it off if i don't like it....... I mean its like spray paint.... but it isn't

If you are gonna do allot of plasti dip work id recommend you get their thinner from the site. you can use it to repair sections also, rather than removing everything and re applying.

Thanks again for all the tips. The trickiest part was the final touch up but with some qtips and googone you can really smooth out the rough edges.



Might take it off the front emblem and depending on how it holds up I'll do the rear diffuser next.

Looks great lemon. I have had my diffuser dipped for over a year now and it looks the same as the day I did it.

Thanks! Interesting, taping a clean edge on the diffuser might be a bit tricky, does the lip on it act as a natural tear point?

mine came out pretty clean by using the lip as a taping guide. It has held up really well.

Its hard removing the tape in general with Plasti Dip. Its a rubbery substance that makes removing tape not so easy. I lightly scored it with a blade before removal. Here is a pic of my diffuser so you can see where I taped it off.

This is a good idea , although I did multiple coats. By the time I finished my last I would think the bottom layers would dry up a bit. Next time I dip something Ill def try to just hit it hard once and remove the tape while its still wet

Aren't you suppose to do 3-5 layers and leave 8-12 minute in between each layer? By the time you get to the last coats and peel the tape, its hard for me to get those sharp lines. Do you suggest heavier coats and pulling the tape way earlier?
