smoking shouldn't be too difficult, just do it in a garage. make sure you do a good job masking. it will be even easier if you can remove those trim pieces that you want to paint.

So no prep work when painting onto straight chrome as well? Might pick up a few bottles when I head down the states in a few minutes.

^ Yeah, just spray it on no prep work needed :fullofwin:

brake cleaner + plasti dip don't mix

brain fart while spraying brake cleaner on my 4x4 hubs with the wheels still on

oh well...winters are on, will strip and spray next spring

+1.

I did a test run, didn't look the look so decided to peel it off but some of the plastidip got between the trim and it was a bitch cleaning it. Lucky I found a magnet business cards which I used to scrap out the leftover plastidip between the trim so removing the trim is the best way to go.

Who has the best price over the boarder?

/\/\ Right on the border Ace hardware sells them for 8-9$ but they only stock 2-3 cans so you will have to order online and ship to the store.
OR You drive to all the way to Bellingham and go to Iowes or home depot, they sell them for 5-6$ a can. They stock them by the hundreds plus different colors

Nice, I assume you didn't remove the grilles because I read the 6 series grille is a bitch to remove. I heard the current 6 you basically have to remove the bumper to remove the grilles.

Btw, I have one half can and full can of clear plasti dip, if you're interested PM and I'll let it go for cheap.

How many cans did you use for all 4rims? And how many coats per rim?

Damn dude! That's pretty neat, any photos of the wheels on your Prelude?

I actually managed to take it off. It took a while and was bitch to remove, but I did it.

Still deciding whether should plastidip my NT03s to red...

Not my personal experience. IMO, plastidip is better than wrap job.

Like Granemo mention at the bottom, do not use pressure water to wash your plastidip vehicle.

^ they sell entire kits including the plastidip, a sprayer and tape for like $400


I am so tempted to try this kit on my truck . .they sell the SUV kit for ~$400.. could be a nice way to kill some time over winter vacation lol.

I'd avoid painting the entire car.
Plasti-dip FAIL: What not to do

^ dunno if you can attribute that solely to the plastidip as the guy used a gas powered pressure washer to wash it off :facepalm:

True that. I plasti-dip my window trims and used power washer on it, nothing happens. You just got to know how to take care of it.

Le bump, has anyone else on this forum been playing around with PlastiDip lately and would like to share their results?

Peeled off matte black dip from two of my wheels currently on the car to see how the product held up after a good 4 months from initial dip. As expected, no damages and this peels off very easy - just have to be careful with the sides of the spokes the dip is usually thinner around these areas.

I do have the newer cans of Anthracite Grey, will be dipping my new wheels I'm picking up tomorrow from Point Roberts
I will also be dipping my current setup in the Aluminium finish and handing off these wheels to one of my family members

I sprayed my whole car.

Got too over confident in how small my car was and ended up not having enough dip to achive the colour and effect I wanted. This is 6 coats with no base when what I really needed was 8 coats or 2 base and 6 coats.

Also if anyone is interested in buying dip in gallons let me know. Will be bring up a bunch of dip from the states.

how much did it cost in total to spray a whole car?

How careful do you guys have to be when washing your cars with the dip on? Obviously you can't just go through a car wash like the one on terminal anymore, right?

I've had my rims dipped since last June and I have washed them by hand as well as touchless gas station carwashes. They are holding up real well. Awesome product.

About 300 but I needed more dip. got too over confident in how small the car was. total cost for dip should of been 360ish.

Nope, car washes are fine. Gone thru 2 before those pics were taken. My friends Audi has been dipped for about 5/6 months and car washes are all he uses.
