Default Plasti-Dip anyone?

I just found out about this stuff and can't wait to play with it. Anybody do any cool customizing with it? Or have any reasons for me not to?

Acquaintance of mine did his Xterra with it--the entire body. It looked really nice in the images. He just ran the K-Trail in SE OK last weekend, which I can attest will put plenty of scratches in your paint. He was very pleased with the way it came through.

I have only used it to repair the handles on a set of pliers. I am going to subscribe to see what everyone else has done.

I dipped my mesh screen, Jeep emblem and trail rated badge Metallic Anthracite (dark gray). I love the look! When the weather warms up, I'm going to dip my rims the same color.

Added an accent ring on my rims with the gunmetal gray, first time messing with it, pretty cool.

Thanks for the pics, guys. They all look great. I'm getting some on my wheels right now. The index cards behind the rims didn't work so I'm just spraying and praying (watched some instructional videos and they all did that.) Grill may be next!

I did all of the hinges in black. A nice accent, as long as you don't have a black jeep. 😉
