I have a couple questions im about to do my front and rear bumpers and the surround on my grill. Im just unsure on a couple of things so if you could help me that would be great:

-Do i have to order it ofline or wear can i find a can of it?

-Do i have to scuff before appliying or can i just clean and spray?

-If i dont like it how easy is it to remove?

-Do you guys recommend this product?

-You guys think it would look good plasti dippin my crome?

I bought some at lowes, home depot and ace. The stuff worked good on well prepped surfaces. It eventually peels and looks poopy though. IMO

Get it at any home improvement store
It peels off when you're done with it
Just wash the surface before you "dip" it
I did both my chrome bumpers and I highly recommend it.

It's awesome very very durable if done right, wash and let COMPLETELY dry....bone dry lol first coat should barely be a mist to get best results.

Got this from another forum I belong to. Has videos for various projects with Plasti-Dip and how to use this stuff. They gravel the roads here when it snows, so rock chips on the bumper is common. Been thinking of doing this myself. Hope this helps.
