It was holding up well. We sold the vehicle and went with a newer one. The people that bought it liked the look too. I went shadow black since it was the only kind available in Canada when I first ordered a bunch. Gloss and other colors came out later

It's still not a dark enough black. You can tell the difference between the real painted black vs the hyperdip black. I just stopped using these types of products for that reason.

Eh. Looks the same. They need to make a gloss black. When you have a vehicle with shiny paint and dull looking black trim pieces it looks wack.

[@grafyton]

I don't think it looks wack but I agree. You don't have a shiny white sparkling paint with like a flat black matte look. Almost makes it look like those two tone platic trim pieces that fade overtime in the sun.

[@randallgriswold1704]

Hmm, wondering if you could use it for motorcycle rims?

[@Donslife]

It should be okay, but probably depends on the design of the wheel's surface and if you can clean the surface really well so no contamination inhibits proper adhesion.

[@mschumaker1]

at 6:50 mark when you're peeling back the tape would it ever make sense to run a quick razor blade first for insurance that it peels where you want it to?

[@Donslife]

You could, but you'll find through experience that the bridged gap is a natural point of weakness and it almost always peels perfectly there.

[@liltsummerlin423]

AMAZING 💛💛💛

[@eotmanoftheyear]

Looks great. What took longer, the prep or the paint?

[@Donslife]

Spraying the product takes longer due to drying between coats. How much you want to mask dictates overall clean up time. any light overspray can be wiped off. Any thick overspray can be peeled off. If you like this kind of DIY stuff, it can all be done in one day no problem. People Plasti Dip entire cars. I haven't done that.

[@MrBerkelyjest]

Question? What happens to the paint after repeated trips to the car wash?

[@Donslife]

Holds up really well. Shouldn’t peel at all. In fact I made a follow up video specifically about it!

[@Built-4-Drama]

You got guts doing that with cars so close, you have to think that all that spray aerosol lingers in the air for quite a bit, and that can land and your other cars

[@Built-4-Drama]

It looks beautiful by the way!

[@Donslife]

It is not paint. It is dry-fall and just wiped off. No cleaners or chemicals, just wipe with a soft cloth or towel

[@Sr.406]

How cool will that grill look after one summer of bugs...

[@Donslife]

Just wash it like you would a vinyl wrap. I did the inner grille on my Sierra Denali with PlastiDip and 7 years later, it is still covered Black.

[@aaruhn]

It looks great! How is it holding up? I want to black out my chrome front grill, window trim, and maybe my emblems as well on my 2018 Accord. Trying to decide between this and Plastidip - I want to keep it as budget friendly as possible and I don’t know if shelling out a bit more money for the same result is worth it. What do you think is better, Plastidip or the Hyperdip? Thanks for making this video and I hope all is well with you.

[@Donslife]

I haven't had any issues with adhesion or the look of the finish. Plasti Dip is a good choice, it is a little more forgiving to apply and more readily available at local stores. However, the finish is a little dull compared to Hyperdip. I have plasti dip on the wheels and a little wipe of tire shine glosses it up, but then makes dust stick a little more. I would recommend buying a can of either product to practice on the emblems first. Then once you are familiar with how the process goes, you'll avoid mistakes on the trim. Trim could be tricky to peel depending how your weatherstripping is designed. For the Cadillac, I was lucky there was a hard edge (like and emblem) that the product laid onto thinner, allowing it to rip in that spot as I peeled very slowly

If applied properly a carwash will be fine

[@jonasgrumby1093]

How much overspray got on that red car....

Believe it or not, none. But if there was any on any of the vehicles, it wipes right off with little effort. This product only sticks well when applied at the right thickness. Don't sand the surface, just clean it well. Lot's of video's on the manufacturer's site covering overspray. It freaks some people out, but overspray is harmless on vehicle paint and trim

[@maxapollo1]

Painters plastic would be a good option to use in a tight space. Nice thing about this products is they aren’t permanent. I did check the two vehicles early on and there was no Hyperdip residue on them. 👍🏼

[@Donslife]

It is possible to scratch it. Normal environmental things like heavy rain, snow, mud, bugs don’t seem to harm it. It is a low cost coating that can be peeled off and redone if it did scratch. My wife curbed a wheel with dip on it. It peeled it off in that spot, so I sanded the rim smooth and redid the dip on it.

[@shyshy808]

Absolutely beautiful but how long does it last? Can it last through car washes and detailing? In extreme heat and cold?

[@Donslife]

Thanks, I answer this question a lot. The product is from south Florida so if done right, it should resist heat. Applying it in high humidity can lead to adhesion problems. I live in Canada and I haven’t had any issues with -40°F and as for extreme heat, we only get up to 90°F where I live. I have used it on items that I wanted to customize temporarily. As long as the preparation is done well, it should last. If you have a spot get damaged by a rock or something, it can be repaired by peeling it off and redoing and is inexpensive. Good option for a leased vehicle too. I recommend proper automotive paint and clear coat for anything you know you want to be more permanent.

What is the final finish like ??? Is is flat, ultra flat, eggshell or satin ??? I would like to restore some very faded black grill inserts and side moldings. The original factory finish was an eggshell finish. Could this product reproduce that look ??? Car is 20 years old and factory replacement parts are no longer available. From the video images, it looks like the finish I want. Thanks. PS-- How durable is this product ??? Will it eventually wear off or is it permanent ???

[@Donslife]

The final finish of ‘shadow black’ is mostly satin. They make others like piano black, metallic and gloss too. It is more of a peelable paint so it won’t wreck anything by accidentally overspraying it. I personally have only tried it on wheels, grills, emblems and window trim. I don’t know how well it would work on plastic moldings that have a texture. Assuming you could degrease it and clean it well, it might work. It might be best to try Plasti Dip first (cheaper) as a test. If it works well, but the then peel it off and go with the color / finish you want with hyper dip. The longest I have had Plasti dip is 7+ years on my inner grill and emblems on a 2013 gmc sierra denali. Sold it a few months ago, all still intact. Bugs didn’t wreck the grill finish either. Remember Hyperdip is newer and intended more for automotive so it should be just as good if not better than Plasti Dip. I only use these products when I want a temporary color change and when I want it back to stock, I can peel it off or the next owner can if I sell.

Not at all. But even if I had, it will just wipe off since there isn’t enough material to form a skin.

What would you recommend if I wanted to do my wheels

[@Donslife]

Have a look at my video where I Hyperdip my stock 2021 GMC Sierra wheels. It might help: HYPERDIP WHEELS! New Look For OEM Wheels. Full Tutorial for this Peelable Paint

[@christenn32]

Looks great. My wheels are currently sprayed with the regular black and I'm wondering if it's worth it to switch it to the hyperdip shadow black. I've read that the hyperdip has a much smoother finish. Do you have any experience with regular plasti dip vs hyperdip?

[@Donslife]

Hi Chris! I have lots and lots of experience with Plasti Dip. Especially in black. The difference with Hyperdip is noticeable and it seems to present itself a little darker and more satin than flat like Plastidip. If you go back a few months on my channel you’ll see a Plastidip removal video for my GMC Sierra Denali using a pressure washer. One important thing to mention: Hyper Dip’s instructions state that it is not compatible with Plastidip, so I recommend starting fresh with whatever you choose. I decided to give Hyperdip a shot since claims to be better for vehicles. I forgot to mention, the escalade wheels are 4yr old Plastidip and in person look dull compared to the Hyperdip, but time will tell. Consider subscribing if not already! ✌🏼

@@Donslife I ordered the black HyperDip wheel kit, can't wait to try it out. They just rolled a new HyperDip color, I think it's Anthracite Gray and it looks Great, but I decided to stick with the black because I'm going for a blackout look on my car.

[@hakim8688]

Looks awesome! But how durable is it during washing and detailing?

[@Donslife]

It holds up just fine! I made some videos about it too!

[@Paratrooper82173]

How well does this last with pressure wash car washes?

[@Donslife]

Assuming that the surface was prepped properly and the conditions were correct (low humidity) the pressure washer shouldn’t hurt it. I made a video ‘Hyperdip vs carwash.” Check it out.

[@djscrewed13]

Damn you painting awfully close to both of your cars. I hope nothing got on them because that would suck

[@Donslife]

Everything nearby is fine. It is peel-able and just wipes off unless you build up lots of coats. If it would have caused damage, I would have moved them out. The other vehicles didn’t get overspray

[@bragg77]

Not to write w the vintage car

[@vicious781]

Can you use a glossifier on top or the 2k high gloss if you wanted the trim finish to match the rest of the black on the Cadillac?

[@Donslife]

Glossifier product is NOT compatible with Hyperdip according to the manufacturer. I couldn’t find any info on the 2K high gloss compatibility. Therefore, I am going to assume it is NOT compatible either based on both products being complimentary to Plastidip. Would’ve been a nice option though.

[@jonathanmolina3529]

You don't need it. DYC now has a gloss black hyperdip, no need for glossifier

[@Mostviews111]

Why didn't you just take the trim off you'll never be able to seal those edges. On top of that you didn't rough up the surface so none of that is going to stick long term. Also two different blacks looks like crap especially that grill.

[@Donslife]

I appreciate the feedback, however that is the point of how to use this product. The whole point is not to sand the surface, no primers, no clear coat - nothing permanent and you can change back to the old color within minutes. I recommend going to dipyourcar.com and checking out how the products work. This isn't paint, which is the whole point of the demonstration. As for the final look of the parts, I respectfully disagree and think it looks good. If I get tired of it, I can peel it off.

[@markdeguzman5505]

Great video but can you update us of what happen about 3 months later? Would they still look good?

I have a question. I want to do my front grill, chrome window trims, decals/badging, and rims on my Honda Accord. How many cans do you think I would need?

[@Donslife]

Hey Jman, Wheels usually use 1 can each. I used almost 4 on the Cadillac Grill, window trim and badges. 8 total would do all of it. You might be able to get it done with 6 or 7 since an accord has smaller pieces (like the grill). I hope that helps!

[@jmang5089]

@@Donslife Sweet thank you! I saw some other videos and tried to guess the amount myself. I was only going to buy 3 hahaha

[@Donslife]

@@jmang5089 Trust me, to little is the worst. You end up doing less coats out of panic. Then the project won’t turn out quite right. Having extra never hurts and you then have some if you scratch your dipped wheel or grill for any touch ups. The website I shared has wheel kits. I might be ordering one soon for my wheels and making a video. I can’t handle the stock colors and I am not ready to go buy new wheels yet.

[@jmang5089]

@@Donslife Thanks so much for the advice! I totally agree about the rims. I can’t afford to drop 400ish on a set, especially because I’m just leasing, but the stock rims look terrible. Another question as long as you’re here, how do you tape around the emblems on the rims? An exacto knife? I’m worried I won’t get it right with my rims being that it is a small, round Honda emblem.

[@Donslife]

@@jmang5089 excellent question. For those tiny Honda emblems (I assume they are mostly flat), careful use of a knife just cutting part way through the dried coating might work. You might have to cut as you peel too keeping the blade almost touching the emblem. Or just leave them covered, it might be a good look? Good Luck!
