Default Plasti dip Raptor Decal

Has anyone ever tried to plasti-dip the Rapter Decal emblem on there truck??

I was sitting in school and I was thinking about how to "stensil" that in using masking tape basically. The only reason I was using Plasti dip is then I can remove it if it looks like crap and its cheap

To do something like that with plastidip, you have to remove the stencil while it is still wet. That big of a design, would not be easy.

It would be very difficult to do. Because the plastidip has to be wet when you remove the stencil or tape. I did my hood and sprayed a bunch of coats in the middle staying a couple of inches away from the tape then I put one super heavy coat up against the tape and I had to pull the tape of before the plastidip dried. So using a stencil would be very difficult.

Its only $75, well I guess that is a lot cheaper than I thought, but I have no Idea how to install a vinyl wrap, so install cost will become a factor

That's also for a raptor so you would have to see how it would fit around the tail lights.

They make them for all sorts of truck, was just the first cheap one I saw on ebay.

Install is not really that hard. It's not rocket science, it's a giant sticker....
