ROFL!!



I was have been thinking about blacking out my GMC embelem on my grill. It would proably work great! Worse case senario would be it chips or flakes and I re-paint it.

You can get it cheaper at Home Depot... just go get it in person.

I bought 4 cans for $24 bucks at home depot. $5.98 each. they carry it in stock. only black tho. they probably had 10-12 cans of it when i was there.

and i've heard ace hardware also has white, red, and clear, as well as black.

i sprayed a 4 wheeler rim with it quickly on tuesday. just 3 light coats. came out pretty sweet. looked good, and it seemed pretty durable. but it also came off really easily once you get an edge.

hers some pics of the 4 wheeler rim i sprayed. i did it as a test to see how it was before i sprayed my wheels. i did little to no prep before spraying the rim. just took it out of the shed and wiped the dirt off of it with my hand. didnt even wash it.

the plasti dip came off all in one sheet, almost like a piece of vinyl? pretty cool how you can see the imprint from the rim where it says "ITP"


im def gunna spray my factory rims on my TBSS now

I just did my bumpers with it last week, and it's working great so far. Once it dries, it's just one big rubber sheet stuck to whatever you sprayed it on.

Yeah, its way cheaper to buy it at home depo or ace hardware. Two cans did all 4 wheels with 3 coats. Yes he daily drives the camaro, has been for about 5 months now. Looks just as good as the day we got done.
