so my buddy just got a 2010 f350 6.4L diesel and he was wanting to make it look sick without droppin ghella cash. he is going with a red and black paint scheme. the truck is already red so he want to make everything else black ( bumbers,rocker panels...ect.) so we was on youtube and came across this stuff called plati-dip. it sprays on like a spray can but when it drys, it forms a coat over whatever you want. and the best part, if u dont like it, it peals right off without leaving and residue or anything!! so i went to lowes and bought a few cans and some masking tape and gave it a whirl on my rear bumber of my f150.....

Finished product:

not bad for a $6 can of spray lol. honestly, i think its the best thing since sliced bread hahaha. so what do u guys think about this stuff???

Its pretty cool. Truck looks nicer with the black bumper.

the plasti-dip comes in all colors.... like i said, best thing since sliced bread haha

Is your front bumper chrome as well???

lol thanks man. im doing all my rocker panels and front bumper next weekend. this was just kind of a test run to see if it was everything evryone said it was... and sure enough, it is! haha

not its mostly tan. thats the project for next weekend

I wonder how well it'll actually last, or once a few rocks hit it, it'll chip away.

I tried using it on the bottom of my shoes for grip, but it didn't last longer then five minutes.

i did my research on this stuff before i used it lol. if a rock or anything chips it, just hit the spot with a shot of more plasti-dip. it blends in with everyhting around it and you cant tell a difference from new to old. also, i talked to a guy who has had it on his truck for 2 years now and still looks fresh.

I would spray my whole car matte white.

you can lol alls u need is 2 rolls of masking tape, and 4 cans of white plasti-dip haha.

I have been wanting to try this on my grill and bumpers for some time now, but have not found the time. That bumper came out nice.

yeah. a lot nice than i had expecter really. a lot of people use this on the rims for winter time so salt doesnt eat them away. clean really good, spray it on before salt hits the roads, peal off spring time. rims still look good as new

I've been looking for something to make my black trim look better. Was looking at forever black for the most part, this looks like it's a contender though! Thanks for posting.

Pics need to be larger though

You need about 20 cans to do 4-5 layers on an average sedan.

Larger pics would be nice

I have a lot of nicks and chips in the paint on my Lada. Does that stuff fill in nicks as it covers? If so maybe i'll give the beast a coat

hmmm ... may have to try this stuff out

Make sure you have a nice coat ( or better yet, several) of wax on. This stuff still contains solvents that can and will destroy your finish.

Sorry. I took them with my phone and they always turn out small. Idk why. Ill shoot a youtube vid tomorrow of it.

Seems like it may be a good idea to use as a bug, rock shield on the front of your nice vehicle for a long haul.

Would it help eliminate rust? Possibly on the under body where rust is prone? For us that have to deal with salt of course

Interesting stuff.... might try it out on something that isn't so important...

Cool find man

I would not trust it on the underside of a vehicle.....It's a thin/flexible plastic coating that can get nicked and pealed easily

Would be better painting it

I also would say it would probably not be the best way to undercoat a vehicle. But i suppose if you're really low on cash, it couldn't hurt to try it (probably).

I wonder how well this could be used to do racing stripes. I go to car washes sometimes, do you think the machines would peel the plasti off?
