Just did my wheels over the weekend

 

I have plasti dipped stuff on my Mustang but not the Titan. Ill keep those pics away lol

 

Did my front and rear bumpers and has held up great!

 

Looks good! How many cans did it take to do the front an rear bumpers

 

i was wondering how would it look as eyelids on the headlights?

 

Try it n if you dnt like it you can jus peel them off

 

good thread, so far iv done my door handles front bumper and badges. bedlined my finder flares and grille. mixed a lil bedline on the front bumper

still need to do the mirror caps probably within the next few weeks when i get back from deployment and also the rear bumper to be done ???? near future

 

How did you do your door handles?

04 LE KC 4X4

 

Gona paint my emblems and door handles this week. Hope they turn out good.

By the way does plasti dip come in red. i want to paint the lower crome bumper red to match the truck but im affraid it wont turn out right. any advice?????

 

Red, Yes, but you'll have to find it online.

 

That's it... I'm plasti-dipping my entire truck now.

 

ha! for what? to protect the BL?

 

I did my badges and wheel center caps the other day, came out good, your just going to have to take my word for it

 

^^^^ pic or it didn't happen

 

They have red at the ace hardware by my house, but i think tmmrw ima attempt to do some of my front bumper, and ima be attempting to paint my engine cover wish me luck !

 

Plasti Dipped Center Bumper, Grille, Wheel Lips, Tailgate Hump & Bib

 

Look good! Howd you do the grill? It came out good n how many cans did you use

 

had the grille removed when i hit it... 2 cans for the grille and bumper, 2 cans for the wheel lips, 1/2 can for the tailgate

everything was degreased before painting

 

So, could you spray a layer of plasti-dip on and then colormatch over it?

 

Yes you can plasti dip then paint over it n it still can be removed at anytime

 

Great thread!! I was actually going to start asking people questions about different spots to use plasti-dip. By the looks of it, you can use it mostly anywhere. I want to try and do my door handles as well. Anyone know or think it may stick to the 2 piece cowl by the wipers? I guess I don't feel like removing them just yet and want them to look a little more black than that faded black look. I'll remove the cowl pieces when I get it color matched to the color of my truck.

 

I plan on doing my cowl on the truck, as the clips alot of times break!

 

as posted elsewhere....my cowl

Man it looks great!! Can't tell but did you do the wiper arms too???
That's it, I'm plasti-dippin my cowl this Sunday!!! Can't stand the faded look. This stuff will peel off when I'm ready to take it off the cowl too right?

thanks, yep wiper arms were sprayed too

three coats, did it on the truck, figured it was quicker to mask then remove and then drive to nissan for a couple of clips i broke and reinstall

yes it peels off

Yeah it should peel of relatively easily. I really like your rear bumper SD_Titan! That looks really good!

 

After seeing the price of the cowl pieces, I know they will not be taken off to do this.
They're about $120 per side! That's insane!

 

still been to chicken to do my rear bumper n grill but used it to be the bottom layer on my engine cover then painted over it , heres some pics

 

i was worried about doing my bumper too but the front was supper easy, im still waiting on my rear bumper right now, a soon to come project

 

and yes i know my engine bay is a little dirty lol

 

Off topic.....but thanks for the sig stormtrooper

I knew it, the wiper arms looked too good as well, haha. I was thinking the same thing too, masking off the front area such as the hood and the corners and windshield. Did you take off the arms to spray them or leave them on and mask off the windshield?

 

Yup left the arms on but obviously took the blades off, left them in an up position, easy enough

i masked, then masked newspaper to the masking tape that was down, went up the windshield, sides and hood were covered a good 2+ feet for overspray

a few minutes of prep beats finding black spots a week later

 

I did all of my emblems in Plasti-Dip a month or so ago. So far so good. I think I will pull out my grille screen this weekend and do it also since it's not as dark as my front badge. In the second picture I had not cleaned the Plasti-Dip out from inside of the letters.

 

Just finished the remaining badges on mine, front bumper is about to get it's last coat, in the meantime, I think I found my new avatar:

 

Has anyone used the clear plasti-dip? I wonder how it looks once it's dried. I thought about using it to help protect from rock dings and chips on the front of the hood and the colored parts of the front bumper. Basically use it in place of those vinyl protection kits you can buy for certain vehicles. I figured it was a good idea since it would peel off if it got damaged or anything. It would be way cheaper than those kits and prob way easier to apply. Not that I have installed any of those vinyl kits but I figure they are a pita.
