GXPaycheck Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 A lot of folks are using black on their wheels and various other parts, so I got to thinkin... My old Tacoma's hood is pretty beat up and Dr Colorchip wasn't working too well so I decided to try something different. Found some white and gave the leading edge about 4 coats. I have a wind deflector that will cover most of the front edge. Might wish I had gone with black, but that's easy to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'm interested to see the longevity of this on your hood. I am thinking of doing my chrome front bumper with Plasti-Dip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm interested to see the longevity of this on your hood. I am thinking of doing my chrome front bumper with Plasti-Dip. A lot of guys in the VW community use plasti-dip on their grilles and other trim pieces. Seems to hold up quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Not a bad idea... might even make a nice solution for long road trips... anyone know what the impact resistance of the stuff is like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GXPaycheck Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Folks that use it on wheels say it lasts a long time. The clear version could be used as a poor man's clear bra (not very shiny though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have the wind deflector on before and still got the chips, or is it a new deflector. The only reason I ask is if you had it on before, I definitely don't want that style on my truck.

Hood really needs repainting but I'm too cheap to get it done. Its a '95 with 160k on it. Dealer offered me $2500 for it as a trade when I bought Junior his Suby. When I said no, he offered $3000. It's a trophy of sorts (traded ex-wife #2's little red sports car in on it when I gave her the boot), so I think I will keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texn884 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Here I used the Plasti Dip on the chrome Kidney Grills and the chrome on the Dart. It has held up great and would love to use it on the whole nose of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
