Platinum Member Overlander21 Posted April 18, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted April 18, 2022 Today I have tried my hand at Plastidip and got rid of the last bits of silver / chrome in order to continue my "black 'n blue" theme. Surprisingly easy to work with, applied six coats and left for a few hours to dry. Unsure how durable it is, time will tell 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member JimC Posted April 18, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted April 18, 2022 That is a lot of masking. Looking good and please do let us know how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Overlander21 Posted April 18, 2022 Author Platinum Member Share Posted April 18, 2022 I think that was the appeal, it was minimal masking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member JimC Posted May 7, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted May 7, 2022 This has got me thinking. My Jeep related badges on my WJ are fading and I was going to have a look on eBay for replacements but if Plastidip works, then I might just go for this. How much does Plastidip cost?

Platinum Member V Posted May 7, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted May 7, 2022 It is more expensive than regular spray paint, a little under £20 for a small can. The advantage (or disadvantage) is that it can be peeled off. I wonder if it can be creatively used as a mask itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think using a wooden toothpick would be better than a screwdriver to get the bits between the letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member UKTJ Posted May 9, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted May 9, 2022 The clever bit is how it just tears cleanly at the horizontal and vertical intersection allowing an easy peel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No masking required, you just peel off everything on the paintwork, including inside the letters, leaving just the logo coated in Plastidip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Plastic tools for working on interior trim would also be less likely to damage the paint underneath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Overlander21 Posted May 10, 2022 Author Platinum Member Share Posted May 10, 2022 Sorry for the delay in replies everyone, I've not been around the last week or two. I bought the Plastidip from eBay, it was £12.99 inc. delivery: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152495630251 As @UKTJ mentioned, there is no fine masking required, you simply spray over the whole emblem and it magically peels off and tears at the correct points. For the inside of the Jeep letters I used a regular wooden toothpick which is also suggested above and on a few YouTube videos that I watched too. I washed the Jeep last week, no issues to report. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
