    Learn something new. Didnt know you could wet sand it. Nice been a long time since i sprayed full vehicle. I mainly do grills and wheels and such and just use rattle cans and rattle can glossifer. Good to know. But it looks good man!!

    Dip armor is brand new product. It probably won't ever be in cans as it is a 4 part clear. It makes the surface feel and act similar to paint. Still peelable but you have to use a heat gun etc and it won't let it peel as easily as before. Also gasoline and chemical resistant. They have came a long way!!

    Yeh id say. O yeh i know that probably wont be in rattle can. I was just stating thats all i use now and i dont do anything big except wheels. But thats awesome. Speaking of dip i have some of there chameleon in my cabinet i might have to find a use for. Also have a can of black left from my wheels might have to spray something with that and then the blue/green chameleon on top. Hmmmm.

    I'm pleased with the outcome
    I am sad about the runs in the clear but I may just live with it

    Is there a step where you have to notify the DMV that your vehicle is a different color now? Just curious.

    Ive painted and changed color on many of my vehicles and never have notified them or had issues. Now saying that i am not sure if you your supposed to or not. Just my personal experience i never have (again i may not be doing the right thing but still)

    No idea. It's still technically black under the dip

    Won't be contacting anyone about it. May change it later on

    Re: Plastip Silverado project. First full vehicle dip

    Researching ways to fix runs in clear coat

    Still contemplating whether to live with the mistakes or try to fix them. I do have extra clear/dip armor

    So far looks like add bondo to surround the runs amd sand until all bondo is gone

    Or razor balde shave them

    Or a combo of the two

    Re: Plastip Silverado project. First full vehicle dip

    Hey if u have extra material to redo it id at least try to fix. Worst case u have to redo it. You will feel better about it at least having tried. Because honestly what are you gonna do with the extra product anyways? Sit em on a shelf. If it were me id just take the time and try to fix it. Most your out is time. I think u can fix it. The amount of prep you did im sure you will be paitent and be able to fix it. And when you do please post pics
