Im plasti dipping my whole jeep wrangler. its a 2002 tj. i wanted to know what you guys think... ill be posting up pictures later on tonight of the proccess. i only did the doors so far and they came out amazing. but i want to get some feed back... a friend of mine was saying to get a jeep logo sticker on the side and paint over it and then remove the letters so everything around it is flatt black and the words will be silver cuz that the color of my car...
I've had this stuff in my garage for years but never thought about using it this way. The amount of Internet chatter about it is growing.... Lol. Probably a good time to by some plasti-dip stock.
im new to this forum idk why i cant upload the pics... how do u guys upload pics...
and thanks for the supposrt everyone. everyones doubting me that it wont work and so far i proved everyone wrong. there doors were done today and it started raining so tomorrow is supposed to be nice and im going to continue my project lol
so basically the whole jeep is going to be a flatt black. and the one good thing about plasti dip is if some does get scrached off u can just re spray over it and it melts within itself so it doesnt get blotchy or show if its not layered right. its very cool
I've never used plasti-dip but I am curious and considering it for my fenders, bumpers, etc. Does it dry smooth or is there a texture? It looks really smooth in the pic.
it doesnt have to much texture but its pretty smooth. when u paint it on it comes in a spray paint can. it works amazing. as long as u clean the surface right and prep right it comes out great. there is flatt black and many other plat colors u can get. idk how it would work on the bumber and stuff like that bc im assuming its already black... but on the body it works great so far! i cant wait to finish the whole car
Ive been debating on this or the bedliner to paint up the interior of my hard top. Has anyone tried this? Could you give feedback and pics?! I am hoping that it will help with a little insulation and road noise and maybe even clean up the look a bit.
bed liner is great! i did a test of that on some scarp metal i had! but the only thing with that is, is that once u use bed liner there is no turning back! thats why i went with plasty dip bc once u dont want it anymore u can just take it off... or u can ever change it up and take it off and respray with a new color
Yeah, good luck. I plasti-dipped my rocker panels, but it kept peeling where my shoes scraped over it. So I peeled it off and used the rubberized undercoating instead and so far so good. Can't wait to see the whole JEEP though...opcorn:
looks really good on the doors, after i see what happens to yours ill probably do the same only becouse my paint is thrashed, and this looks to be a 50$ fix to that. lol
This is certainly an interesting project. Can't wait to see more pics. Vasyl, I'm curious, did your Jeep seem any quieter after you did the inside of your roof?
