Crash712us Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 is the plasti dip a spray on product now? Or does is just brush and flow out even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojomofo21 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 You can get it in almost any form now. I picked up 2 spray cans at home depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLOS6539 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Any thoughts of plasti dipping all the chrome parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojomofo21 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Any thoughts of plasti dipping all the chrome parts That's my thoughts. Its a lot harder than it seems though. Some things cannot be removed, like the stupid window trim. And then you have things like the Taurus fender vents. I tried doing those but the plasti dip filled up all the lettering and it looked funny. Going to think of something else. Maybe powdercoat.

SHO Rod Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 There is also a "liquid mask" product that is used by R/C car modelers to mask off small details in the scale bodies for painting. You apply it with a brush, can trim with a hobby knife once dry, then peel it off after painting. The other nice thing about it is since it goes on in liquid, there really is no concern that the paint will bleed behind it like you can have with masking tape. -Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojomofo21 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hmmm these suggestions sound tempting. I thought about putting painter tape over it and cutting around it. The lettering is so small it's tough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lettering is so small it's tough though. i tried this myself and it was hard, it didnt come out like i hoped so after trimming around the letters i ended up leaving it chrome. You can go to my page and see some pictures of all the crhome being covered up, I personally dont like chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try again this weekend. If it goes well I'm going to do the window trim, emblems, grill and the pieces around the leds in the front bumper. Then it might be the wheels with glossifier.

CLOS6539 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Go for it, around the tauls and trim I used a few toothpics to get all the extra paint I didnt want it works really good. Thats what I been thinking about doing to my wheels its cheaper then buying a whole new set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since 1964 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 What do you guys think about using plasti-dip on the black plastic area that surrounds the car? I have a Platinum Silver 2010 and the bottom seems more like a dark grey than black but I would like it to be black. I was thinking maybe I could cover it with either flat or gloss black.

saboteur Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'm but a measly 2010 Limited owner but I have blacked out a lot of stuff on my car using plasti dip. If you want to do the chrome trim around the windows here's what you do. Cover your window with something, newspaper what ever works best. This is going to sound crazy but I promise it works and I've done this quite a few times on my car with ZERO negative effects. Just spray the plasti dip all over the chrome trim. Obviously you'll have a lot of overspray on your door but the amazing thing about plasti dip is that it's easily removed with goo gone. Once the plasti dip has dried just spray some goo gone on a rag and carefully wipe the overspray off. I'll post up some pics of my limited if you guys are interested.

PDXSHO Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Did you rough it up first with a scotch bright pad, or just go for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 You don't need to do any prep except clean the area beforehand with simple green or a like product. One problem I had with Plastidip was that it seemed to attract and hold dust, which was fine for my winter rims I guess. Any of you guys have the same issue with the chrome you have blacked out? If I had an SHO I would go on a Plastidip frenzy. Problem with my MKS, is that there is just too much of it (I don't have the ecoboost appearance package - which eliminates a little chrome).
