I already stripped the front hubcap and it was a PITA despite having many many coats on it.
It was already peeling in places before I put the most recent layer on, and although I tried to cover up and seal those spots, they were still pretty noticeable. Then I made the mistake of going through a carwash too soon after, and this is the result.
Maybe light sanding could help blend the peeling spots in with another coat? And cutting off the flaking bits with a razor?
Does anyone have pics of Luxury metal lime Gold? Id love to see how it looks on a full panel?
I’d rather not score them if that’s my only option I’ll just keep them as is, I did 4 light tacks and 3 heavy wet layers but it ended up peeling with the tape.
Using brass monkey hyper dip on the wheels and wanted the R to match.
Any ideas?
I'm not new to painting I'm new to plasti dip tho. I have a dyc sprayer and gallons but just thought about cleaning the gun In between the base and my black and my purple pearls. Which kind of cleaner should I use?
I need something to coat the seat of a steel bench so it has a rubbery protective (and red) layer. I've never used plastidip before, but I am assuming that this product I want to use for this:https://www.lowes.com/pd/Plasti-Dip-11-fl-oz-Red-Aerosol-Spray-Rubberized-Coating/50109112And from my understanding I would want/need to apply a bunch of coats?
Looking for this type of vibe: https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=a5f19286ad197ea8&sxsrf=ACQVn0-kQEZKeLY6J5GEKdWuaD0aPLlmBQ:1711924098800&q=red+sports+bench&tbm=isch&source=lnms&prmd=sivnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiS_Kmexp-FAxUIF1kFHRq0BaYQ0pQJegQIDBAB&biw=1728&bih=877&dpr=2
Going to dip my tacoma. Does it really good and easy? Or maybe there any dip services in Miami area?

https://i.imgur.com/Kx958VM.jpeg - rear emblem is over a moving piece. it pops open and a camera comes out or something. i'm having trouble finding videos or instructions on how to remove it. it's not flush against the paint so i can't just heat gun and fishing wire, it's like wrapped around the circular piece. i assume i can't just spray because it'll get into the gap? is there some plastic method my brain can't visualize?
I plastidipped my wheels about 7 months ago and I now have kerb rash on my two rear wheels in a few places (bad at parking clearly).
Can I just paint over the scuffed parts of the wheel after cleaning the wheel first? Do I have to cover the other plastidipped parts of the wheel next to the kerb rash or will it wipe off on its own?
I'll probably use some alloy putty too before spraying
I posted about a month or so ago about me plasti dipping my car matte green and then taking a black permanent marker to it to create a cartoon style . I now have added white marker also to make the lines stand out more , what do y'all think ?
I've been looking online for who can install pealable paint for me, but all I see is outdated information on the topic. I want results, but don't have time to figure out complex painting systems, like autoflex. I'm looking to get a new car, and want it protected and looking sharp with one of those muti-chromatic color shifting paints.
I've trying to find an AutoFlex installer in San Diego for a few days now, but it looks like DYC's site no longer has their installer list.
I got my other car done a few years ago in LA, but it seems that shop isn't doing it anymore. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can find an installer?
my friend got me a v cool pair of platform shoes but the rubber soles (goes a bit over the toe too) are bright white and I wear almost exclusively dark colours. wondering if I could tape off the fabric part, spray just the rubber soles, and end up with functional shoes lol any thoughts?
First-timer looking to chrome delete a 2023 Rogue, starting with badges. Has anyone had success dipping the new emblem? My concern is how minimal the difference in depth is between the “etched” white details and the rest of the badge; that it will end up looking like a solid black fill without detail. Will be using Hyperdip.
I did a chrome delete on my ‘18 cx5 and want it to stay a deep black instead of fading to a kinda gray. Can you use stuff like Meguiars Back to Black or is there a preferred product?
I dipped my badges yesterday and they looked fine but today they have almost a tacky feeling to them. I feel like they still look fine but they’re attracting dirt and stuff that doesn’t wipe off easy. Did I do something wrong? Is there a way to fix it? (I haven’t finished peeling this one)
I'm likely beating a dead horse on this sub with Hyperdip. Evidently others have had similar troubles with shipping wait times.
It's been about a month now since I ordered twelve cans of Shadow Black. Still says It's in Jacksonville, FL.
I contacted them a week ago about it, and they said the package is simply missing. They initiated a search for the past week. The tracking information says nothing other than "on the way to next facility."
I guess I just don't buy that it's USPS' fault. It's just too coincidental that others have issues with slow shipping too.
It's apparent that the $6 optional faster shipping is just a scam. Unfortunate.
They've asked me to review their product twice, now too. Lol shesus! Hopefully it's good quality... My plans of dipping my car were like three weekends ago, now :/
Im curious as to why you need a base of plasti dip before spraying proline? DYC wont really give me an answer besides proline is a top coat. Are they just trying to sell you more product? Has anyone used proline without a PDS basecoat?
Thanks!
I painted my rims with four coats of plastidip, but I also have two spray cans of acrylic paint dedicated to rims. Can I apply a coat of acrylic paint to a rim painted with plastidip? This may be a strange question but I would ask you to clarify if this is a possibility :) Thank you all in advance for your answer
Does it make a super difference? It's been hard to find examples. I watched the video from DipYourCar where he explains that normally you would plastidip over a base coat of white. It turns out brighter. However, the green over black looks almost the same to my eye, and probably better. Please show me any wheels you've done in blaze green and let me know what the base color you plastidipped over was, thank you.
what's the best way to clean a car that's liquid wrap if it's black satin/matte ? Is dawn okay ?
