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!!

Re: Plastip Silverado project. First full vehicle dip
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.

Re: Plastip Silverado project. First full vehicle dip
I'm pleased with the outcome
I am sad about the runs in the clear but I may just live with it

Re: Plastip Silverado project. First full vehicle dip
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
