Looks awesome man! It costs $1,300 for Dodge’s “blacktop” package just to get blacked out wheels/emblems from the factory. Instead, I spent $21 for three cans of plasti-dip and got the same look on my 2021 Charger. Very pleased with the results.

Thanks so much for showing your struggles with it as opposed to only showing the parts where it “worked perfectly” like so many other you tubers do. Great vid. Very informative and helpful. First time on this channel. Need to check it out. Thanks again!
I have watched a few videos of Plasti Dip on the car now. I must say you are the one with the best result. Well done. Good video.
I did it, it is easy. I used a dental floss pick, it didn't wear out. Great video!
I used plasti dip on my subarus wheels about 2 years ago and barely have any peeling. I've even had my tires changed since then. Now I'm using it on my emblems and its also held up great!

But it's never too late. I've got my eye on those chrome rails on the back and front grille. Thanks for posting this.

I did it and it turned out pretty good! You're so right, it seems counterintuitive but you do want your over sprayed area to be a little wider so you can grab it with two hands. That way it's easier to peel off.

Yes, agreed, GREAT video sir. So start peeling it all off the body parts in about 3 minutes after the final coat? The whole time I was wondering how the product "knew" to break at the point of the emblem so cleanly.
What really sped things up for me was using a hair dryer between coats. I was able to apply 4-5 coats within 5 minutes and it came out perfect
thats clean and neat!

Thanks Yuriy, some great videos. What is your decision criteria on applications where you would Plasti Dip versus vinyl wrap?
@YuriyMotso
2 жыл бұрын
Honestly plastidip is much easier than wrapping. However if it’s a large surface area you could end up with some overspray or uneven coatings if you are not experienced. The vinyl has its own issues as well. Overall great finish but more difficult, time consuming and you could get wrinkles if you don’t handle the material properly. Now I have done both and because my plastidip is on the rear of the truck it’s not exposed to the same torrential weathering like the vinyl does. That being said the vinyl is still in excellent shape. Looks same as the day I installed it. No fading or peeling. I’ll maybe have to do a follow up video for you guys so you can see it up close and personal. So preference really goes down to how much time and effort you want to put into your piece. The quality comes down how well you can apply the material so both will look good if you do it right. Today I might go with plastidip first and if that failed vinyl. You can buy plastidip on matte, semi and high gloss finishes. So if you like that glossy black interior trim on the rtle and black edition ridgelines then that would be the route to go.
That looks factory. Great video and tips.

Hey Yuriy. Thank you for all the awesome videos! For the chrome delete on the window pillars, do you recommend vinyl or plasti-dip?
@YuriyMotso
Жыл бұрын
Honestly if I did it again, probably would try the plastidip. Reason is that my plastidip has been on now for two years and looks like new. Since the window pillars are located on the side of the vehicle and not the front, very little damage will be happening from rock chips that would increase the likelihood of it peeling away. So for that reason I would definitely try the plastidip.

Just a heads up, they also sell a product that you rub onto areas you don't want the plastidip to stick to that helps with removal when you're ready to peel off the excess.

How well does this stuff adhere when using a car wash or pressure spray? .. or is it gentle hsnd wash forever after?
This is an awesome way to add a bit of a custom look to the vehicle. Will be picking up some Plasti-Dip. Did you use a razor or something to cut out the letters after you finished spraying it? Because it peeled off perfectly. Also, do you know if this can be used to protthe undercarriage from water/ salt to prevent rust?

How long did you wait before you started peeling it off after you did the 5 coats?

Thanks. Yes, plastic dip is not a permanent application but is very resilient to most conditions. You can peel it off later as I showed in my example technique. Now on emblems and intricate items it may take a little more work to remove but again it's not permanent. The brand I used is Plasti-dip. Available in all your local retail stores, Walmart, home depot, Lowes, orielly auto parts and more. If you have specific colors you are looking for then I have link to plasti-dip in my description.

Thanks Ron. I actually used a pressure washer on it from a few inches away after a year and it held up. I have no problems with washing with a sponge when I do wash my vehicle.

Because it’s going on in small coats and I’m not building up enough material between the gap from the logo and the vehicle, that is a weak spot where the plastidip will rip away cleanly. Don’t wait too long. A few minutes and you should start removing the plastidip.
