Thread for dip lovers.

Show me your plastidip skills; grills, logos, bumpers.... entire truck? Lets see it!

Heres a 3-can dipped with 2 coats glossifier platinum grillle, with a detail peel

 

Wheels and emblems:

 

Tip, clean your plastidip with TurtleWax Ice spraycwax, thank me later. Spray on, wipe off. Clean and protected. It's simply that easy.

 

Thank you, Summers! appreciate it. what did you dip?

 

Nothing on this truck. My dip days are past. I have done many wheels though, 04 Focus and used Peelcoat graphite and Plastidip black on my 07 F150.

Here is my 07 I traded for this truck:

 

Front and rear Ford badges, tow hooks, mirrors, and trim above tailgate release. All chrome has been removed, painted, or plasti-dipped. I have un-platinum'd my Platinum. I wish there was a simple way to get rid of the billboard on the rear, but I don't like the alternatives.

 

I Plasti dipped my wheels about a month and half ago. My truck was recently damaged and went to our local repair shop. When i got it back all the wheels had bits of white cotton like pieces on all the wheels. I can rub them off, but it's a chore. I'm guessing since the dip has a slight bit of tackiness (I guess that's the word), the bits are from the when the shop covered the wheels to work on the truck. I plan on redoing my wheels next month to do a better job, plus I'm going to also use the metalizer over them.

Would the ICE spray wax help eliminate or reduce the tackiness?

I dipped the center and left the chrome border to tie in with the bumpers. Door handles and mirror caps are ptm. I had the 500a lariat chrome grille with black accents, but I put my original back on and made it mimmic the sport grille. I dont mind the chrome just have to break some of it up.

 

I have used the glossifier and metallizers and all they do is make the dip texture uneven and tacky. I prefer just plain dip and clean and protect it with the Turtle Wax Ice spray wax. On my red truck above, the Peelcoat graphite was on it for over 2 years and still looked great.

 

Thanks!
