I PlastiDipped the front and rear of my Pathfinder last night. It was much easier than I thought it would be and clean up was super easy. I think it turned out pretty good! The wheels are going to be next.
I taped around the emblems and grill. I made sure to block all of the grill off to avoid getting a rubber coated radiator. It was very easy to peel off the extra over spray and what landed on the hood past where I had taped off brushed off very easy with a paper towel. Time will tell how long it will hold up, I did 4 coats on everything using 1 can to do all of that.
very nicely done. . .word of advice - definitely going to need more than 4 coats for the wheels - budget about 3 - 4 cans (my wheels were 18's so I don't know if the increased surface area made me use more). Also, DEFINITELY do in an area that can shield the spray from wind - I did mine outside and it wasn't pleasant, even with a slight breeze). Good luck - so far mine have held up pretty nicely.
I did the wheels this weekend. I did 3 coats per wheel and I am not that impressed. It looks great from far away but some peeled of from the 4 way wrench when putting the lug nuts back on. Too bad I had it done already by the time motorkas posted his reccomendations.
Overall it looks pretty good and I am happy with how it turned out. If it starts to peel off I will peel it all off and try again, thats the great thing about this stuff. I will probably use a can per wheel if I have to recoat.
