Default I swear to god, one more thread about plasti-dip and....

so I got a question too!

Anyone used it on their body?

And I have been reading all the threads, everyone says it peels off. But how?

I am wanting to do this with plastidip

But minus those wheels. I have even thought about hitting my new wheels with a layer of it. We will see.

thats why I was gonna use plastidip. But if I do something this drastic then I will have to stand by it. lol. If I do these things. Sell my headlights and H.o. cam buy some fender flares. I will be DONE with the truck.

It would be kinda nice.

I put this request on DT, but can anyone photo chop my new wheels into this?

Dunno, OE... But I'm with you, all these Plasti threads are getting monotonous... Other than my winch mount (that I already painted red, with Dupli Color paint) I really have no use for it on the truck. I suppose at some point when that mount starts to chip up, I'll pull the winch, pull it off the grill guard and do it in red Plasti...

But the Jeep is another story, I've always hated the gray plastic cladding on the lower grill, under the bumper and the rock rails. I am afraid when the front receiver for the Jeep gets here and I pull the bumper to install it, I'm gonna jump on the black Plasti bandwagon...




And OE, you will NEVER be done with that truck! You change your mind more than a damn woman! You sure when you thought you were taking steroids for football, they didn't slip you some female hormones???
