Decided I'd plasti dip my emblems on my 05 Screw Lariat
May have went over board with the newspaper lol

 

Now smoking taillights

 

Final product

Doing third brake tomorrow

 

Looks nice! Did you sand and buff the tail lights afterwards or just paint them and stick em back on?

 

Gonna be the bad guy here...the tail lights you did look bad. Now I don't have the whole story of how you prepped them and all, but the finish is "satin" to say the least (unless thats the look you're going for).

I could also be looking at a bad (cell phone) photo as well...not sure. I think you should wet sand those out and work a good shine into them. It's not easy I promise. Some people get lucky and the spray on tint comes out looking glossy when they are done...but it has alot to do with the prep job and the condition of the lenses.

 

thanks for the advice youre not the bad guy lol and yes its kinda what i was going for because ive never done it before so it was just a rough test to see how dark i can go im redoing them tomorrow more "clean cut" look hopefully. Also i like the flat look plasti dip gives personally

 

Thanks lol and I just cleaned them with "Goof Off" before and wiped any finger prints and dirt with a wet cloth thats all

 

I gotcha! They do look dull but honestly I like the look of the "flat black" look

 

You can't sand or buff plasti-dip, it's rubber. OP, looks good, but this stuff is addicting. It's all over my truck, and I got my bro in law to do a bunch of stuff on his Wrangler.

 

I know it's rubber I have it on my truck. He didn't mention in the first post he was using plasti dip on the tail lights so I thought it was nightshades without clear coat or being sanded
