Experimenting with Plasti Dip

First time poster! Just discovered Plasti Dip and decided I would give it a shot on my '99 TJ. It's removable so what the heck.

I sprayed my wheels first and am really happy with the way they turned out. I missed a few spots and will need to tidy them up but I'm happy with it for a first try.

Next I tried the dash and am less enthused with the results. May look better if I add some more tan accents to balance it out but either way, it was a fun experiment and I can always remove it.

Interested to hear any feedback/other ideas for Plasti Dip. Thanks!

Be aware of curves/angles. I started off spraying everything from a flat angle thinking that if I stayed 8-12 inches away everything would cover evenly but I realized you have to walk around the tire and angle the can with the curves.

For each coat (it takes at least 4), hit the hard to reach curves/angles first. They usually lead to a lot of overspray. If you do them last then you end up laying it on too thick in places thanks to all of the overspray.

When I have used rattle cans of Plastidip in the past, I put them in a bucket of warm water when it is cool outside. It makes it go on a little smoother (less texture). Tons of tips on youtube also.

was the dash black before or did you spray it tan? I think it looks great! Seat covers also?
