plasti-dipped my console chrome

[hemi8lonestar]

like others, ive been plagued with the glare off the center console chrome...even the LED nightlight reflects off it and then my tinted windows. im betting this fixes it !

Is that stuff durable to where it won't rub off easily

yes, once it has cured it's pretty durable. untill then it will peel off easily

Did you take the ring off to do it or did you do it on the truck

i took it off, it pops off real easy. it has clips on each side. i didn't even have to use any tools.

I did this for to long. It was driving me insane.

If you go to do this, be careful removing that strip. I have heard of the clips hanging up on people and them snapping it. It's not hard, just be easy on it.

I just did mine this weekend as well.

The ring came off pretty easy, I used a plastic trim tool.
The only tab that gave me problems was the front left, it really did not want to let go.

I finally persuaded it to release without breaking anything.

It snapped back on quicker than it came off.

That's crazy, I had the same clip hang up. Those plastic trim tools are the best ever. I wrap them with a microfiber cloth when I need to detail crevices as well.

Yeah, it's a little tricky to get off, you will feel like your about to break it.

I plasti-dipped mine as well.

Not only did I feel like I was going to break it, but it was taking so long and I was getting irritated to the point where I actually thought to myself....

if I break off part of this one tab, how bad could it be???
Luckily it did not come to that.....

It pops off with some clips/tabs around it, be careful when prying it up though, I snapped part of mine .

Mine came off very easy. I used a plastic thin paint scraper and just did a little on each side.

Looks sweet.

This is how mine turned out:

Manufactures will figure out chrome is dead, right about the time people start digging it again.

Now that's the way to go!! Awesome!

Nice Job! I'm tired of thinking a motorcycle or cyclist is coming at me from the side as the light reflects off the ring into my side windows.

Question guys, which color plasti-dip are you using?

 

[RobbyD]

Good idea!
