Fun with PlastiDip!

[TerryB]

I used Armor All tire foam. It didn't effect the dip at all. I put it on really heavy too. I let it sit over night and then gave it a light wipe down in the morning.

Actually tire shine cleans plastidip really well. Makes it look like you just put it on. Avie will speak to that too. And Ryan...

I get what you all are saying, that's why I put Black Magic tire shine on the plastidip - I thought it would make it glossy. But when I sprayed it on, within about a minute it melted the plastidip right off.

never did that to mine...makes my PD look pretty damn good kinda odd it would do that to yours though

Yep I have used the Armor All tire foam and it did not hurt it at all.

if i dip my whole car, then put on the glossifier, will it still peel off like normal plastidip?
this dip won't be permenant. I'm just thinking about a custom paint job for my car and wanna see how it looks before i fork out like 5 g's to get it done

[lyonsroar]

yes.

BUT as people have said, unless you apply the dip really thick it's a PITA to remove. Plan on spending like $200 on dip, you're not going o get by with 3 cans.

i'm probably gonna get the kit off of dipmycar.com to do it. it comes out to just a shade under 400 including shipping.
but if i like it, it's worth it.

Here's my contribution-



From the standard 'new' pic-

So what do you think? Do I make these mods permanent installs? I'm uneasy about the tail-light assembly...

i like it. it's cool to see something never done.

I like the way you did the taillights. Overall it looks really clean. Nice work!
