Like a dream.. Drug some ladders across the cap on the tail gate and it didn't chip or break! So in my opinion the stuff rocks lol

Seen a 67 Impala painted with plastidip today, didn't look too bad, he did the whole car, and left the chrome trim shining.

Do it for sure. I did like 3 coats. I would say that's the minimum! The more coats u do the more damage it will take

Awesome I'll get it done this week. And if you meant I have a clean truck no I actually painted them. They're off now though I've got Mickey Thompson Classics now..





I did dip my front bumper though as it was chrome.. and my black rear bumper was getting faded so I dipped that!

How's the dip hold up to washing? Does it peel or wrinkle when u have to scrub bugs off??

Holding up great. I've had thick mud on my front bumper before and it's come off. Of course I'm careful when I do it because I'm paranoid about it.. but the front bumper has like five coats on it so it'd pretty strong.

Sweet, cuz I dipped my mirror caps, just curious how scrubbing off bugs was gonna go for me lol, I'm going to take off the dip sooner or later though and use reg paint.
