Perfect thanks man. Wanting to do this next month. Need to clean my friends shop out first of all the wood chips from cutting and chopping firewood. Sad thing is even with the mirrors folded in I bet there is about 1/4 of an inch room on each side to get it in there. Once in there there is plenty of room. Bad design on his door. Trying to get ideas on what it will look like. Im going to be doing it all on the weekend. Any tips or advice?

Their channel on youtube has all to how to's you could want. I got all the little tricks from their videos. And now I would say I'm pretty good at dipping.

I did some small things first (badges, trim, etc.). Then I did my grille shell white/black. Then wheels. And after that I had it down pretty good. I have front/rear bumpers, trim, badges, roof rack, wheels, grille shell, and bowtie dipped.

I have also done stuff for my friends.

I wash all my dip at the local do-it-your-self wash with the pressure washer. I just wait a week before I put high pressure on it.

So I went and ordered some plasti-dip today. Should be here early next week. Then have to wait for the weather to warm up and stop raining. My Yukon wont fit in my friends garage just a tad to long and to high.

Dipped my denali from black to matte white. Just make sure you buy enough gallons. I used about 6-7 on mine. Take you time. It was my first vehicle dip as well. I made a couple mistakes for my first time but it came out good imo.
