Yeah, heard the same. It looks like shit and doesn't peel off right if you go too cheap and don't apply to much product. Think they recommend at least 6 coats. I might try it myself if it is that easy. I think you spray one coat, wait 10 min. Spray the next coat, wait 10 min etc.

Instead of plasti dipping we went with a liner on this truck we sold. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b5d488f497.jpg

Wd40 is the best way to remove plasti dip.

Yeah bed liner is great. Lot more expensive though. I woulnt mind having my entire truck LINE-X'ed. I saw a Jeep Wrangler like that a few months ago, it looked tough.

it wont hurt your car one bit. Lay it on thick and its easy peel off.

If you try to spray can it you will get the same streaky results as if you had painted it with a spray can, to be done properly it needs to be sprayed from a gun like paint.

We did the whole truck for about $800... DIY kit...

I didnt realize that whole truck was lined...after enlarging I can see it now. How did it look up close? Ive read they look good from a distance/in pics but not great up close. I didnt get a chance to see the Jeep very close.

I think it was just called Plasti-Dip. Like a blue can with yellow writing IIRC.

In my experience, as long as you put on enough coats you don't see any streaks.

Best DIY color for Plasti Dip? I have a white car now. A deep blue might be kind of cool. I dunno.

I'd imagine you'd also have to lay it on "wet" and overlap coats with an even stroke, just as you would with any paint.

It's been a few years, but I think you're supposed to put down a light coat, let dry 30-45 min, another coat, let dry 30-45 min, etc. it has to be dry before applying next coat.

MTG#10 08-25-2017 03:07 PM

If you're going to do an entire vehicle dont even think about doing it with rattle-cans...

Buck 08-25-2017 03:09 PM

I think I had to buy a special nozzle tip too. But yeah don't do the whole car with the cans.
