not bedline it instead or paint it. Just say no to pd.

TexasRammer · Oct 27, 2012

Yes! Exactly like that, it looks mean! Haha those are pretty cool stickers

with rockers done or not rockers done?

and bedliner looks really rough, whats wrong with plasti dip?
and if I do paint it should i do a gloss black or matt

TexasRammer · Oct 27, 2012

I actually like the look of plastidip over bedliner. Bedliner is just to rough and looks odd sometimes... Im not sure what plastidip would look like on rockers though

reefguy89 · Oct 27, 2012

because pd is the cheap and easy way out. if you go paint either way would be badass.i think the matte will stand out a little more cause of the contrast.

nitto · Oct 27, 2012

i think im might do one side in pd to see if it looks good because im not gonna sand my paint down for ***** and giggles and it look bad in the end

It's either paint...or it ain't!

huh lol

I vote for some, but not the tail lights

I like the matte look with the rockers, pd or paint either way would look good.

not doing the taillights would be like having chicken bbq without the bbq

Very true. But don't put the dip on em. Light output goes down the toilet then.

what should i put then

Seen on other websites...

Friends don't let friends do plastidip.

Guys that use plastidip can't commit, never date one.

When you put duct tape in a spray can, you get Plastidip. <<my favorite!

Personally, I believe its a half azzed way of gettting around any real skills or investment, like painting or powder coating. Hey, I have friends that use it, but they know my feelings.

nitto · Oct 28, 2012

I said in the above comments that im only using pd to see what the half side will look like then if its good ill strip my paint and paint away, im not afraid to paint trust me i now how to paint haha but not stripping and preping jusst to see if i like it or not, and what should i use for taillightss? and still be able to get light through em

Sorry...your thread title and first post(s) suggest something different.

So I posted what I read elsewhere. It was with a sardonic sense humor and love in my heart.

PD really is like a addiction, most guys try it a couple of times, think they can stop, then the next thing you know, half thier vehicle is covered with it. Or more.

There are slso the binge users...one month it's the emblems...a couple months later the rims...however the end result is the same.

Soon every nick, dent, rust spot, and other imperfection is covered with this evil back substance. It's like spider man one day and venom the next...

yea already re-painted the fender, fixed all the surface rust on my door sside, new exhaust system, now for looks

Okiespaniel · Oct 28, 2012

I saw the fender post...and that looks awesome!

TexasRammer · Oct 28, 2012

Lol i think people mainly hate plasti dip because the name just makes it sound cheasy. I did my wheels and love it, havent done anything else. Its funny I thought it was the cheap way out and was just using it to see if I liked my wheels black, but in the end I liked it better than my friend who had his powder coated and another who painted his matte black. And the best part, i paid nothing compared to them. Im not saying do the whole truck, but wheels and bumpers and small things are fine
