Default Plasti dip question.

So I'm thinking about experimenting with this stuff on my truck, maybe doing something similar to this:

It should be fine, but that looks awful. Just say no to drugs.

Well, I was thinking that, or just blacking out the rest of the grille and also doing the lower valance. I'm just curious to experiment around, if it end up looking terrible I can just peel it off, no harm no foul.

I'm curious about this also. I've been debating on doing my rims in black and I want to know just how well this stuff comes off with/without damage. I know people keep saying it's durable, but durable and coming off easy don't exactly match. Really don't want to mess up an expensive set of 20's.

There's been quite a few threads on it here, but that particular question is what I wanted to know. But yeah, I got another question. How many cans did it take you to cover the Titan like that? Wooo.

They need to make a gloss or clear to go over it IMO. Your #2 pic from the side. It kinda looks like black primer. Looks interesting though. I just bought some SS Reps so Im about to experiment with my old stockers
