I've really thought about it. Not sure how far off the red PD is to the actual color though. I have some PTM the body and I've been thinking about using white PD first and then going over it with the red. I dunno how it will turn out though.
You might as well just hit it with the red. If you paint over dip you lose the ability to easily peel the dip off. It will flake and break off in tiny pieces if you try to remove it later.

If I'm not mistaken, that red PD is the same color red as code E4. At least that's what a guy with a E4 Ranger told me, and it appears he's right.
I have E4 and the red plastidip is NOT the same color. I tested a half can on some plastic scraps, not close enough in my mind. Also, I took half a can to get good coverage on a few small pieces, which was more disappointing.

Let me add a disclaimer: Try it first on scrap or something to see if it works for you.
I'd hate to give false info, apologies to anyone if I did.
Was it too dark, or too light?
In my opinion it was to light. At least a few shades off. I suffer from OCD and retention....lol Its either perfect or its not happening. There is no such thing as close enough in my brain.

Ya, I am as well on many things. But you gave an idea, I wonder if it would match up with PQ, Race Red. May be time for me to experiment, unless some else knows! LOL
After a couple of days in the garage and 8 cans of Plasti Dip think Im done. PD's, Rims, bumpers, emblems, badges, grill, mirror reflectors, vent rings, all handles. If the RIMs don't last, I think I will need to powder coat. Think I like it!

Looks good, Good job!
Tip #1
Apply some spray wax to all the PD and it will lose that "grippy" feel and make it less likely to peel and edge while you washing/wiping with a Microfiber towel.
Tip#2
A water-based dressing will keep it looking dark and new.
I use Chemical Guy G6 Hypercoat on my wheels. There are others I am waiting to try but I want to use all of it up first. http://www.chemicalguys.com/ProductD...ode=TVD_110_16

Thanks for the TIPS - you read my mind - was worked about washing it. Going to pick up a water based dressing today!
Do you leave the spay wax on? or wipe it off?
