Thinking about doing my same wheels on my STX in the spring. Did you remove the wheels and lugs to do it? I'd love to know how it holds up to regular washing and daily driving.

Thanks looks great!

Question for everyone on here. I want to do the chrome on my front and rear bumpers. After applying plastidip, should I remove the painters tape right away or wait until it is fully dried.

You can let dry if you are NOT working with edges, lines or different panels. Otherwise, you do need to pull pretty much right after your final coat. Gas door for example (great small spot to test with), you would square off with tape and then once the dip is dry pull it all off. It would peel around the circular door itself.

All depends on the part you're doing!

Mirror caps.


Looking to do grille and/or bumpers next. Might need another 4 pack of anthracite to do bumpers though. As well as more glossifier.
