got mine at fleet farm. it was not in the paint area but the tool area I think because its used for tool handles.

CumminsCrazed · Aug 25, 2012

mills fleet farm?

also ive checked menards and ace hardware, maybe i just missed it?

either way im thinking bout doing bumpers and grille, thoughts?

Yeah you missed it lol. I just picked up two spray cans of it at Ace. But for some reason it wasn't in the spray can section. Honestly, it was just sitting on the bottom of a shelf and really outta place I thought but I can't remember what section it was in

Home Depot is where I found some here in central IL. Our Ace and Menards had it but not in the spray.

If you're dipping the whole truck, go to dipyourcar dot com and check out their setup.
They sell it with the thinner and a spray gun. They have lots of video how to's as well.

Man Ive done my front & rear bumper with it and its holding up great. Just make sure to do plenty of coats so you wont have to worry about rock chips. I did 7 or 8 on my front, and like 5 on the back

First I ordered from Dip Your Car but then I found it cheaper at Home Depot. It was in the paint section. I went to HD about a month ago and there were 7 cans but I only got 6. I had a sharpie in my pocket so I put a couple dots on the lid of the other one, I went back this morning and that same damn can was still sitting there. And here I thought I was doing somebody a favor by leaving it LOL

CumminsCrazed · Aug 26, 2012

yeah i found some at menards, they had 9 or 10 cans of it, i bought 3. any certain things i need to do before dipping. any specific stuff to use to prep the bumpers and grille? also would u do grille on or off truck, im not gonna monkey with removing bumpers to do it.

TexasRammer · Aug 26, 2012

All you gotta do is wash em clean and spray it on. I think most people leave their grilles on when they do it

blackout11 · Aug 26, 2012

Unlike spray paint any over spray will wipe off// another helpful factor just so you guys know paint thinner destroys this stuff so if you ever get to an area you dont or cant peel put some on a rag and boya it will be gone

blackout11 · Aug 26, 2012

Was having a hard time removing my hood stripes i did with plasti dip soaked a rag and 2 mins later was all gone washed and waxed and good as new

CumminsCrazed · Aug 26, 2012

ok so should i be un-concerned about spraying it into my ac condenser or air charge cooler? also, should i remove bumpers to do those or leave em on and should i also spray the black top plastic piece or just leave that the way it is.

CumminsCrazed · Aug 26, 2012

whats the best way to remove wax, plastic shine, chrome polish etc so i know this stuff will stick and bond like its supposed to.

gotbrains230 · Aug 26, 2012

Man all you gotta do it is wash & dry and spray it plasti-dip

I would take the grille off, that way you don't have to tape everything up...much easier that way

This is how I did my front. I put 55g trash bags over the front and taped them up. Even though the stuff will peel off, do you really wanna be sitting there peeling this crap off your hood all day?

gotbrains230 · Aug 26, 2012

Finished product

TexasRammer · Aug 26, 2012

I would either take the grille off or put something like a piece of cardboard behind the grille, you dont wanna get that stuff all over your condenser or radiator and stuff. You can leave the bumpers on, I would use some kind of wax/ grease remover though if you have all that stuff on there

bigbadram1500 · Aug 26, 2012

Bug n tar remover will strip all the wax, grease etc. Or plain ol' dawn dish soap does the trick too.
