Not to change top, but your side mirrors, what color is the led? if it's blue or some other color do the cops mess with you?
Maybe this is just me, but wouldn't it be easier to take the rails off before dipping?
That's the beauty of plastidip, you don't have to - it peels off clean on surfaces you don't want it. There's lots of youtube videos on the subject, it's a remarkable material to play with.
Oh, I get all of that. But wouldn't taking the rails off make it easier to get all of the rail covered?
I see what you're getting at, if the back side of the trim is failing like the exposed front side wouldn't it be easier (and better coating too) to take the trim off? Simply put, YES. However I was able to get the coverage I needed without taking them off the car and mine look the same as the day I did them.
Just noticed you're in Denver, can you believe how warm it is? Looks like snow in the forecast next week though!
You guys are so lucky in Colorodo...my azz is freezing in Wasington.... Can't wait to move to ...counting the days down...
Are you guys using a special Clear coat? or does Plasti dip have thier own?
When I put some clear on mine, I just used regular dupli-color clear
Not a good idea.. makes it much harder to peel.. causes the dip to become stiff and break off in small pieces. I've been told that this stuff has a life of about 3yrs before you will need to re-do it, or touch it up. Dupli, krylon or anything else over top of plasti will make it more difficult to peel.
I'm dipping my entire car this coming week.. pictures will be posted.
I actually do this for a living.. at the shop that I work at here in Columbus, OH.
Can't wait to panda bear my Talon !
