DIY Plasti-Dip Creation!

theinfamousdrew · 07-24-2012, 12:45 PM

I <3 Plasti Dip!

I've done my grilles, Wheels , and performance spoiler.
I thought about doing my roof too.

This stuff holds up pretty well.
My grilles have been dipped for 5k or so and there isnt a single blemish

2 thumbs waaaaaay up for this!

What kind of prep work needs to be done if I wanted to do my diffuser? Thanks!

theinfamousdrew · 07-24-2012, 02:00 PM

Remove it, clean it, dip it

I was hoping someone would say it was that easy!

It really is that easy. I did my shadowline trim and it looks perfect.

So far I've just done the grill, fuel door cover and tail light guards on my 2011 Jeep Wrangler. Though I did do a set of Tii stripes on my 135 just for giggles and took it right back off.

you should do the wheels and mirror caps too on your jeep!

JHOOPS2 · 08-03-2012, 10:23 PM

I have some gunmetal out for delivery now. Might do the wheels with it.

e9xslow · 10-03-2012, 06:49 PM

The creative possibilities are about endless. Well done to the OP.

135i OREO · 10-05-2012, 09:21 AM

We need more pictures of what people have done!

Satalite · 10-05-2012, 01:39 PM

Very nice! But as a perfectionist you should have extended the shorter line down to the side skirts.

pinmagic · 10-07-2012, 07:47 AM

I showed a friend of mine this thread (he drives a Dodge), and he asked if the Plasti Dip would provide any protection as a bra. Obviously, it wouldn't provide nearly as much as a real bra, but would it protect against minor chips and damage?

It probably would. Especially with multiple applications

John Dempsey · 10-07-2012, 04:35 PM

how is the texture on it? pretty smooth or is it kind of an orange peel textured

MGallop · 10-08-2012, 05:23 PM

It will be smooth if done properly. Check out the dipyourcar channel on youtube.

I recently got my window trim and wheels done...I'll post pics of it up close when I have a chance.

here is my attempt at AMG135i's art. (with his permission)

I got a great consistancy on the outcome, but I rushed in pulling off the tape. Therefor I will be redoing the job this weekend as the paint peeled up on the edges.

here is some during photos.

I have more on my phone but need to upload them.

thanks for the advice AMG135I I need to even out the lines, and take more care in removing the tape.

Thanks.
