The day after I brought my '09 home, I got blinded by this. If it really comes off this easy, I got 3 cans of PlastiDip I the garage... This could end up being the first mod on my truck!

Yup, pops right off. 3 cans may be a bit overkill for that little bezel though. :roflsquared:

After my first weekend of driving in the daylight for a tank or two, I can say I will be doing this shortly. Thank you all for the great feedbacks on your choices. Where are ya'll getting the vinyl from?

Ahhh man... I thought I was gonna have to run to the store to get more cans! Heheheheh... :peace:

Nah, but seriously, I will have to get more cans if I'm gonna do up my rims anytime soon. But, it is starting to get a little hot out here in the desert... :flame:

No don't grab two corners and pull up. As mentioned this is made of plastic and there are snap tabs that go all around it. The best way to do it by hand is to lift an area up and run your fingers around it. You will feel the tabs disconnecting as you do it. Then pull it off.

I need to dip my center console trim piece. hate the chrome look

jssmith76 · Jun 12, 2015

Alright, alright, alright... The first mod has been completed, and yeah, that rim ring just pops off nice and easy. Wasn't near as hard as I feared that it was going to be. Anyways, now for the reveal. Gotta love Plasti-Dip! I think the second pic is the best one, showing the depth and texture of the Dip...

I've never used the Plasti Dip before. Is this a brush on application or will I need to get a pan to actually dip the trim piece in?

Google plastidip.

The aerosol can is the way to go!

KahneFan · Aug 6, 2015

Grabbed some at Home Depot today. I also picked up a plastic painters spatula to remove the trim. I ran the spatula around the edge and it popped right out. Very easy!

It's like Pringles... Once you pop, you can't stop. You'll find that as soon as you dip one thing, you're go nap be hooked and gonna wanna start dipping everything and anything!

The cup is fine, but I'm thinking the lid. It glares like crazy!

$5 plasticdip and 24hr cure and I am bonus 65 in my pocket

Glad this is an easy fix. When I picked up my 13' Sport a few weeks ago it was my only complaint. From around 11-3 during the day that sob blinds me. Figured it just popped off, so now it's getting wrapped/painted this afternoon. Just gotta decide if I want to do a flat black or camo.

truckin151 · Aug 11, 2015

And done, camo wrap didn't work as well as I wanted so flat black it was... Sooooooo much better now

Irongoats · Aug 12, 2015

Looks good. I plastidipped mine the same weekend I got the truck damn sun glare wtf

bushler · Aug 19, 2015

Thanks for all the ideas in here for what to do to this piece. I got my 2012 Ram a week ago and was blinded by it right away. I bought the flexidip and Rustoleum Flat Metallic Antique Nickel Spray Paint and Primer in One. I opted for the Rustoleum and I am very happy with how it came out. Flat spray paint doesnt have the glare and the metallic matches the other pieces.

Just did this myself...

Cheese · Mar 15, 2016

I just found my next mod. The only question, since I have a white ram is to maybe change it up a bit and go white. A little worried it may make it look too ricer though.

I guess it's a good thing Plasti Dip is only $5 a can!
