So is it tougher than plasti-dip? I'd imagine the trade off for "tougher" would be "tougher to peel off" as well, but it looks to be another quasi-permanent option.Dragonii said:FlexSeal is nothing more than Rubberized Undercoating repackaged.
I'm trying it on a set of light housings.

I kid of course, there isn't a color I don't like on jeeps. Each is it's own thing.
Blackops, how is your hood holding up with regards to heat? In all seriousness I am thinking in a totally different direction. My (formerly my wife's) coffee mug has been through the dishwasher several times and it still looks great. The reason I ask about heat is that I am seriously thinking about doing a shotgun with this stuff. Then I wouldn't have to clean the metal surfaces.... There really is no end to the applications for this stuff.BlackOpsJeep said:I rolled mine with the liquid version due to the stripes we get spraying with the spray can

Anyone else have trouble with the hood? I tried to do a stripe down my hood and it turned out bumpy in spots.
Oh wow lol ya I'd peel it off ASAP lmaoHikersTaxi said:Did my hood and windshield frame, I am not a fan after it has been done, going to take it off haha. I couldn't get the lines clean and even enough for my taste
Good to know. After my next tire rotation I might use it rather than plasti-dipp.aharper said:I bedlined my wheels and they turned out really nice. It's probably not quite as shiny as the plasti-dip but very durable with no signs of wear. I did this over the winter and so far see no wear.
It's not very good. I have it on my passenger footwell, since that area started to get damp after rain storms and I pulled the carpet. It'll be fine until I get around to applying liner, but it wore through in spots after a week or so just from the pressure of the rubber floor mat.BagerX2 said:I wonder how it would hold up if used in the interior rather than doing roll on liner. Or if it would stick ok without sanding.
Looks really good! I ordered dark metallic stickers from pixeldecals.com cause i think the silver kinda sticks out... ill post a pic when they show up!mickey5150 said:Did my drivers' side wheels today. Didn't have time to finish the other side. A couple things I noticed:
1) couldn't get the baseball card/3x5 card trick to work. Wind just laughed at me. Finally just used painters tape.
2) painter's tape won't stick to a wet tire
3) when i peeled the painter's tape off, i got a couple of edges where it started to lift away from the rim. i don't know the answer to this?? maybe use a razor to cut the edge where you take the tape off (carefully)?? I don't know.
4) i covered the lug nuts in tape, then put them over their corresponding holes. This worked awesome, and i like the silver lug nuts look.
5) the wind makes it tough. maybe next time i'll do it in the garage? But then it won't dry as fast.
I also removed the "Sahara" sticker. The tan sticker just looked out of place. Then I took off the stock radio antenna, it was just too floppy while driving around and driving me nuts. I'll replace it with one of those black plastic ones.
What do you guys think? I think it looks pretty good, all things considered. The other side will go faster. It will look great when its all done. I hope it lasts because i don't really want to do it again for a while
Thanks! I'll look for something for the lights at autozone. :thumb:NFRs2000NYC said:For the bezels and stuff, just clean them well, and then wipe them down with alcohol. As for coats, I'd do 5 for anything that is in the front of the Jeep (gets pelted with rocks) and 4-5 for anything else.
For turn signals, I do not recommend Plastidip. Use a product that was designed for lighting, VHT Nightshades.
