Plastidip Grill

[Goodinblack]

On my Suburban I have had it for about 8 months now, going strong.

how many cans of plastic dip did you used on your Suburban ? i have a slverado i going to try it on. Any information will be helpful . thanks

 

[Goodinblack]

2 If I remember correctly.

I would buy three just to have it, then return the last one if you don't use it.

Keep in mind you have to do about 3-4 coats.

Just picked up 4 cans today - might go plastidip crazy if I get time! I'll do my best to take pics along the way.

so to all the plastic dippers - in sounds good, But if i don't like it does it just peel off or buy a new grill ??? thanks

Plasti-Dip can peel off

I sprayed my grill inserts, not my whole assembly. Never took it off. Never have had a issue since. Only did a light coat however. Just enough to make it look darker I just masked off what I wanted dipped and what I did not want done.

Used it on my front bumper cap and valance. Gonna have them redone correctly though. Looks terrible IMO. Plasti-Dip is nice for somethings, but not everything.

So instead of using the PD for my grill, I ended up putting some coats on the new wheels I just got. Put four coats on but didn't let them dry for long enough so one wheel peeled as I was loading it into my vehicle. Going to redo this wheel and add 2 more coats to each of the others.

Once all this is done, I'll be PD'ing my grill.

I would have just stuffed news paper behind the grille... Don't work hard! Work efficient!

...you never want to stop! It's addicting because it seems limitless.

If the peeling isn't too bad looks like you can rub paint thiner on the spot and then respray:

Initially, the peel wasn't too bad but I panicked and made it a bit worse. I then started peeling the entire wheel but it was hard to get certain areas. Did my best and then re-coated it six times. I should have some pics tomorrow.

It's colormatched.....got the spray paint at the dealer then threw put some clear coat over it. (I'm assuming you meant the emblem)

 

[Goodinblack]

Looks GREAT.

Post more pics. I see you have no album.

Here is mine......

Didn't want to divert this thread away from grill plastidipping so I started a new thread here for my wheels.
