minime331 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 so it seems like pretty much a lot of us love plast-dip (pd). from doing headlight rings to gas caps, and so on. i am making this thread just to talk bout pd ideas you may have, colors and anything pd bc it seems like when one person makes a thread bout something else when all end up talking about pd. so i guess ill start off with an idea that i have. as some of you know a while back i posted a thread about doing my dash painting or wrapping, couple of days ago i thought how bout pd it! so what do you all think? also i am going to need to redo some of my extior pd due to wear and chips. so this thread i think should be totally about pd, ideas concepts, color, anything about pd STella- 14' Focus ST Roush CAI, Cobb access port stage1 tune, custom Ptuning 3" exhuast, Levels FMIC, Turbosmart BOV, rally armor mud flaps, more to come.

GreenCactus Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 What types of pd can you get at Home Depot/Lowes? Do most of you order it online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68wmcs Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 you can only buy black PD in a rattle can or yellow in a liquid can at home depot or lowes. my go to place for PD is Dipyourcar.com, he sells every available product by PD and he's also an authorized seller. 03 BRG MINI S: Sold! 05 PW Scion xB: D2 Coilovers, XXR 531 16x8, Yakima rack, Yakima basket, WINK, Plaid interior, and a whopping 108 HP!

nharrison21 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Home Depot or Lowes ($6 a Can) are the best places to get the black PD in a spray can...If you want any other color the web is the place to go.....If you do your dash are you gonna disassemble or tape off the dash and spray in place??

68wmcs Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 i might take a look into that What I plan on doing is just buying regular clear coat from Lowe's/Home Depot/AutoZone etc and just putting that over my PD. It's reasonable to assume that as long as you lay down PD first then lay another coat of anything else, it will still peel off. Right? 03 BRG MINI S: Sold! 05 PW Scion xB: D2 Coilovers, XXR 531 16x8, Yakima rack, Yakima basket, WINK, Plaid interior, and a whopping 108 HP!

It's reasonable to assume that as long as you lay down PD first then lay another coat of anything else, it will still peel off. Right? I would check that. Some clear coats can interact differently with paints and PD. It would be unfortunate to do all the work and then expect to pull off the PD cleanly and have it stick or do damage to the body paint.

Wizzer Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I am still planning on a PD Job on my stock Rims (Man I had to phrase that right). I love how it looks, and it's cheaper than buying black rims right now. ow I just need the time. Steve "Wizzer" P.

GreenCactus Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm planning on pd'ing my winter wheels black. They're silver now. I like them, but it's tough to keep them clean in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be unfortunate to do all the work and then expect to pull off the PD cleanly and have it stick or do damage to the body paint. I have a couple cans of black PD left and a can of clear. I'll do some test tries on things I don't need to see what the reaction is.

Eddie Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Let me know when your doing your air splitter, I'd like to have mine done within the week or two.. and It would be great to get a general idea of how it' works.. I'm sure the clips are placed differently, but I can't imagine it be that hard.. A few of the Folks at NAM have already done it. Splitters look sweet~!!!

68wmcs Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Did you already buy a air splitter or are you replacing the oem lower front bumper plastic? edit: I'm still waiting on the APR support rods to come in.

Eddie Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I ordered MoS Front Splitter (Lower front bumper). I'm going to remove original front bumper plastic, keep the clips, and install the new ones. But I also ordered 4 rivots (i guess i need them). So I have a few questions..

Brandy_Brown Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thought I would share my first PD adventure. Thanks for turning me on to this stuff Craig. Really happy with the results. Finishing up the bumper cover tomorrow. Would have been 250 bucks to replace the trim, I would call a 6 dollar can a better deal. http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/image.php?u=1132&type=sigpic&dateline=1367319111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
