Some Plasti dipping in the UK

Postby M6C DAZ » Sun Jun 07, 2015 10:36 am

So after seeing some of your guys posts on here I decided to see if I could get some plasti dip in the UK, luckily I found some and I am really happy with the results! So easy to use!

loving the look now, still got the wheels and the side rails to do but I think it's looking good now :)

Think the washers must be on the European spec?

Not in the UK, but I did similar stuff on mine.
Front grill held up fine. It's now the 2nd year and just now I have a few rock chips starting to show. But that's exactly why I love plastidip. The rubber-bouncy finish holds up better than paint. I'm simply peeling the grille and doing it again. Takes about na hour.

The rear trunk handle didn't hold up at all. Too much touching. Started to come off in a week. Took it off, and I'm living with the chrome. Regular paint would hold up much better. But...you know. That's permanent.

i'm quite surprised it can hold up after years of use, its a neat product. my truck has a fair bit of chrome on it (mirrors, rear door handles, bull bar etc) but for the moment i'm not bothered by it, may change later on though!
