Now that's what I call tasteful dipping.

Looks really good.. I still have yet to paint the edge of my raptor tails.

Please step away from the can of plastidip before any further carnage ensues...

What do you think of my "C" plastic dip project?


Ive been looking for this decal with no luck, hope to check a vinyl shop for their price but figured I would try with dip. Love the look, from 5' you cant see the minor imperfections on some edges, pulling tape caught a few nicks.


Has anyone done this or know of a decal that can be purchased, thx.

Looks good. Painting those edges makes a tremendous difference. What colour dip did you use on your wheels?

I'm looking at one that does that -its $60
I have a Rampage tail strip I think I got it from AutoAnything. Does white back up lights and turn signals. Makes a big difference in backing up. So far has lasted for two years, still works fine.

Exactly what I was looking for in a decal as well and considered dipping it. This inspires me to do it.

Looks great
