Default How To Plasti Dip

i want to make a thread about how to plasti dip. plasti dip is removable and is mainly used on wheels to black them out, but i decided to bite the bullet and paint my whole truck. i will post progress pictures on how it comes out and when its all done ill have my friend who is a photographer take some pictures, thanks!

so thats why you guys use plasti dip? its also removeable when wanted? Hmmmmmmmm

Where do you get it in your area? didnt see it at local auto store. Saw bedlinder and rubber matting spray but no plasti dip.

I have some rust fixing on rockers and cant get paint to match perfect so thinking of doing lower 8" or so of truck....Hmmmmm

does it spray nice and even? looks like all dries the same.....hmmmmm

I would sand off all the rust and use a type of paint or bed liner for that tbh, it will help stop it from spreading and protect it

Lowe's home improvement carries it in my area. If you have rust, I would try Por-15 rust inhibitor, it will stop the rust. Then you can paint or plasti-dip over it.
