Whoever came up with this plastic dip paint idea is a genius. Great quality product to make life easier especially to all the fellow DIYers. Kudos to him.

[@kristinagwinett9159]

I absolutely LOVE how many videos and tutorials you make for this product. I'm dipping my wheels and emblems on my Jeep Patriot soon and thanks to these, I feel super confident. Thanks so much!

[@DonovanMariano]

How did it go? Thinking of doing my car.

[@kristinagwinett9159]

@@DonovanMariano It faded over time on my emblems, I ended up getting new rims instead of dipping. It held up well to weather and everything but I don't think it should be expected to last a terribly long time. Good luck if you do it!

[@kristinagwinett9159]

@rvidal0001 Thank you! :)

[@trevinrandall8580]

How long did it last

[@tish359]

Hey Kristina, I'd love to see your rims you did. I want to do mine purple 💜 Thanks

[@patapata17]

sir, you should be giving talks and seminars around teaching your craft; you are such an incredibly talented, methodic and patience dude; your vids are AWESOME.

[@jakehiggins5118]

For people who think plasti dip isn't durable, I've had the badges on my car (front and back) plasti dipped for almost 3 years and I haven't had one problem with them. No lifting or chipping or anything. I'm very surprised that the front has held up so well to rock chips and salt and everything.

[@DUNELIZARd7]

Jake Higgins! Thanks for the information wu want hear

[@algersonvincent]

Do you have to be super gentle on them while washing?

[@RogueRunner7]

Awesome. And can I say, that camera quality is on point.

Just did the trim, emblems and hood scoop on my 2013 Ralliart. It turned out great and the videos sure helped a lot! It was easy, inexpensive and fun! Rarely do products match up to the hype but Plasti Dip really delivers! Looks awesome, works awesome! Thanks Fonzie, everyone is commenting on how sick my car looks and I couldn't be happier!

Thanks. Did my 2017 RAV4 rear badges and window trim with great results today.

Hi fonsie im steve & I live in the u.k I was going to spray paint my jeep wheels then I saw your vids on plasti dip so I ordered wat I needed & its here today so ill send you pix when there done im so glad I found out about plasti dip im going to do plastic trim & grill on my bmw e34 aswell thanks so much for your vids wish you all the success in your business

[@alvinomartinez6549]

Can you dip over chrome bumpers and will they last long?

[@samiam2714]

I love this video, but I really wish you had show how you grab the dip inside the center of the circle on the logo.

[@TrueNomadSkies]

This is cool. I always assumed you needed to remove the emblems for this, but depending on the situation (such as lettering or really anything that's not already falling off), people might not want to do that.

[@infinitiENJOYER]

I just finished painting my grills, I didn't follow a lot of these tricks like protecting my radiator and waiting a day after cleaning for it to dry (keep in mind I only cleaned it with soapy water and a towel to dry and I took my time drying to insure) but nonetheless this video was very informative. Definitely will keep this mind for the future when I plasti dip my spoiler dip and the infiniti sign.

[@Reapwhatyousow777]

I'm gonna assume you covered the backup camera lens, even though you didn't say so.

[@cruiserjohn74]

Can't see that he did. Now I see it..he did hehe

This video gave me the confidence to dip my Bumperdillo. Thank you so much, it came out just as you demonstrated!

[@tpol7042]

i like the videos. ive used plastidip on all my cars since i was indrotuced to it. love using it. love the freedom it gives to change whenever you want. i have a question though. i noticed in the peel off portion the letter were showing chrome on the edges where it meets the car. but then the final walk around they are perfect. did you do another couple coats with the camera off?

[@01PHILFRANCOIS01]

Used PlastiDip for the first time today on my Ford Ranger. Watched a few demo videos and the product worked exactly as promised! If anyone complains it doesn't work, they didn't follow the instruction!!!!

[@samiam7959]

Any tips or tricks for Plasti Dipping chrome bumpers for better adhesion? Especially the front bumper of trucks. Great video. Thank you for posting a professional video on how to do Plasti Dip right the first time.

[@Username85254]

How much HP does this add to your car?

[@davidcovarrubias3343]

About 200, but that's for black plastidip, i'm not sure about other colors though.

[@661EASTON89]

I got 5 more hp for doing my emblems but when I did the wheels it took 3 away so I'm only 2hp more than I was. The dip on wheels grabs more wind an slows you down.

[@Heavy.hemi510]

+David Covarrubias Red plasti-dip gives it 375HP

[@tommyle6716]

it doesnt add any......it loses hp because the chrome reflects wind which makes it more areodynamic, the black absorbs so it slows down the car and creates drag.

[@661EASTON89]

+Tommy Le I get what you're saying.. makes sense.. unless you put the clear coat over it make it glossy like my friend did to his BMW and it's got 4 more HP now.

[@kgog1]

this is incredible..thank you for introducing me to plasty dip...had no idea this was possible!

[@JonYodice]

so if you're doing a whole car including the emblems, would you dip the body of the car first and then do the emblems after the body dries? or vice versa?

[@brocksmith4443]

Do emblems first cause they'll be easier to mask, plus if you are trying to do it the way he does you will remove the base layer also(the dip you put on the car

[@side1efekt]

How would you do this to an already dipped car? When you are done dipping the emblems and it's time to peel away, would you also peel away the outer areas of the car that has already been dipped?

[@emanuelebosco594]

You can’t paint emblems of a just dipped car

[@Tha_Zhuk]

Nice to see a v36 sedan on dyc

[@urmastertech]

+SovietSpetsnazi I got a v35! I wish he would do one of a v35 sedan even if it was the same emerald mist as mine.

[@sk8punk318]

+urmastertech just take the grill out its super ez

[@urmastertech]

sk8punk318 Lol yeah I did actually do it last year before winter probably right after this video was uploaded, but I did peel it off because I didn't spray it when it was warm enough so it kind of bubbled out and came out as a rougher surface

[@mrvang8077]

Super informative info guide tutorial. Great job! Very much appreciated for this guide.

[@soonersdevil]

Did name badge on my Avalanche...little worried it might go wrong...just do as he says & lift dip with your finger...came out perfect

[@markgrz7076]

Tape and drape is the smartest thing I've ever seen

[@davidlacroix8079]

Taking the grill off is the smartest thing I've ever seen.

[@juergunmagerkinsquirter1280]

would have liked to have seen how he got inside the Infiniti emblem....about 90% of cars have hollow emblems so how do you get to that plasti inside it

[@michaelparks7295]

I gotta say I love this product I just dipped my rims last night for the first time, I did everything you said and they came out nice and smooth had some troubles but like I said it was my first time and I love how it came out and people are asking me to do theirs as well so I wanna say thanks!!

[@keithjensen3551]

If your coloring your chrome on the back of your car, how would you handle the key access in the back (say for trunks or hatchbacks)? Wouldn't using a key tear or loosen the dip?

[@ginaalwaysavip1177]

I must say that you are a great instructor! Thanks for sharing your videos. I can't wait to do my F150 in florescent pink!!

[@sk8punk318]

yeah should be pretty gay

[@ginaalwaysavip1177]

+sk8punk318 Well, if it's pink no man will want to drive my truck! I hate it when anyone drive's my truck even my mechanic.

[@ctp260]

You guys are absolutely incredible! Can’t wait to start doing this for my customers. Just wondering what would be the retail cost to charge for blacking out someone’s emblems or grille? Trying to figure out a pricing structure for all this plasti dip stuff

[@vicmed6088]

i just put that paint on the hood of my freightliner cascadia.we will see how it sticks

[@MissAliMal]

Usually How long does it last before you need to re-spray? and Overtime with different weather conditions such as rain or heat, will it eventually start to come off or peel off?

[@kmcgaming2461]

15 minutes between coats and I don't think is is intended to come off unless you scratch you're car.

[@tarmacsmack1301]

U got kik

[@Kittyreviewcrew]

Bruh lmao

[@khailam3937]

Great job! If I would want to do my door chrome trim, could I do so my remove the door trims then spray them?

[@flacovences2769]

and how last long stays, cuz I'm thinkinf after many times have washed your car it will come off isn't ?

[@itamarcarlos1075]

excellent video. Slowly directions and clearly explanation.

[@Jorozco1002]

i'm curious as to how you were able to take the dip from the camera on the spoiler. I want to do this to my g35s

[@sportsguy28227]

You did an awesome job in this tutorial.

[@pastpianist]

Maybe I missed it, but what's the curing time between coats? I heard 1 hr after everything is done, but between coats is it like 10 min?

[@isabelmedrano7333]

babolatpdtp i have the same question

[@ernestopulido8837]

15-25 mins depending on temp and humidity

[@pacmanjones5625]

the can says 20-30 mins between coats, and 4 hours to completely dry afterward. I would say at bare minimum do 15 mins between coats and let it dry 1 hour after your final coat, as he mentioned if it doesn't dry completely you won't get a good peel on it and it will just be more of a pain to peel off. I followed the instruction on the can of 30 mins between coats and 4 hours to dry and had no issues EXCEPT i didn't mask off around for overspray and had some i needed to wipe off which wasn't that bad. I would definitely recommend the overspray even if you are doing it inside as you will get more overspray than you think even if you are just trying to spray in the boxed off spraying area as i did..

[@allandinghy2083]

How well does this stuff hold up to car washing? It seems if it’s that easy to peel off then washing must eventually peel it up. What. about pressure washing? Has anyone who has done this had experience with washing their car afterward?

[@fabo806hubcity7]

I like it... gonna try that on my truck... I don’t think there was cuz he’s doing this good but hope there wasn’t a backup cam on the spoiler

[@forevermarkel]

What are those defects on the right of the grill?

[@adamzeller7249]

i did this in red on my dark blue jetta and it looks awesome

[@stilllyte]

Great video. I was hoping you showed how you got the plastidip out from inside the Infiniti logo

[@starscream42]

toothpick or a pointy plastic tool like he had.

[@rhidlor8577]

I'll be doing this on my G37 tomorrow, thanks for the video!

[@The_Autumn_Wind_]

Excellent video

[@Plasmaionz]

You should do a video on how to plasti dip when its like 56 degrees outside and tips on how to make it come out perfect

[@Blunteeezy]

+DEEZ Nuts thats funny because at 1:30 there is a thermometer on the wall and im pretty sure it says 54 degrees. but if you are spraying when its colder, put the plastidip in a bucket of warm water for a while then shake the hell out of it before spraying and it comes out nice and fine.

[@KJKj793]

+DEEZ Nuts I did mine on a hot day no issue. Black + glossifier came out nice. One side was getting sun near end so the dip was really kind of sticky after 25mins still so I pulled the other side then turned car around and blew some cool air over it (not on it) let it sit another 5 mins and pulled no issues. I had small letters still no isssue.

[@SaimesierP]

How would you mask it off if you are painting the car a different color?

[@bobcatdc]

Nice job. Good explanation. Clear & simple. Thanks.

[@jackarent231]

ahh. Great video but I wanted to see how you took care of getting the dip off of the camera.

[@brendancross2767]

Probably just peeled it off

[@jordanzx6r]

that peeling is satisfying

[@urmastertech]

Yay g35! I gotta 03 sedan, but I really want to upgrade to a 07+ like this one.

[@joshpaz1]

how long should you wait between coats?

[@angierox6964]

Very cool! I’m excited to do my Jeep!

[@Pilikestortoises]

Not sure what happened but the dip ripped off some of my paint. After peeling i looked at it and there was green (my car color) on the contact side of the dip. ??? I did 3 coats just as you did, 6-8 inches away, started spraying on the masked area of my car. I highly doubt it is weak clear coat because my dad and I redid it all over the winter.

[@TheWill76]

after the 6 or so coats and dried completely can you add the glossifier straight on to the plastidip ? and how long do you leave it on for ? most of the videos are all matte black ! 🤔 thanks in advance.

[@ChaosFragrances]

William Lau yes you can spray it on. Be sure to treat it like spraying clearcoat, so 2-3 wet heavy coats with overlap. Make sure it doesn't run.

[@MrTmn2401]

Another nice and informative tutorial.Thanks a lot.Question:It seem that i cant find any reseller in EU that have the Anthrasit Grey rim/Wheel kit in their shop online shops.Also its not possible to buy it online from USA ? Any solution for that ?Thank you in advance.RegardsTonny M Nielsen, Denmark

[@dyccustomerservice1964]

+MrTmn2401 Email [e-mail]

[@ackroh]

so my question is how do you keep your dip looking fresh over time

[@dipyourcar]

Easy! Make sure you apply DipCoat Protective Spray every week or two. Keeps it looking fresh and clean, and keeps it feeling slick. It's a must-have for dipped surfaces.

[@ackroh]

+DipYourCar so dip every week or 2?... pass

[@dipyourcar]

Tires need tire shine, wheels need wheel cleaners, cars need wax - dip needing DipCoat a couple times a month isn't a lot to ask. If you're willing to put the work and time into dipping your car, it's also worth putting the time into maintaining it. DipCoat is our top selling accessory, once you try it you will understand.

[@ackroh]

+DipYourCar i misunderstood, the spray is like a wax. I thought I was gonna have to prepare the car and do it over and over again. I saw a video where that spray makes the dip look shiny, if I'm going for the matte flat look, will that same spray work for me?

[@dipyourcar]

Yes it will certainly work for you. It adds just a bit of sheen but only enough to make it look clean.. it won't add an artificial "gloss" finish.

[@mikestevens2053]

I've almost decided to complete the black-out of my new Tacoma with this product. It's metallic silver with mostly black trim, and the chrome emblems/grille/rear bumper corners are bugging me. This seems like the perfect solution.

[@1bkutube]

I sure would like to see a tutorial on removing the dip from small lettering or smaller nooks and crannies. I had a hard time and scratched my paint trying to get the dip up out of very small paces.

[@captainpugwash3275]

use a toothpick

[@ShuffleMasta]

I'm gonna do the same thing to my grille, but peel off the plasti-dip on the Infiniti logo to keep it chrome. 》Matte black grille with chrome logo! 😃

[@cristianchavira8591]

That looks ugly. Leave it all black

[@Reub3]

I like this. Quick question though maybe someone could help me out. If I have little chips and dents from rocks will the plastidip fill it in to a smooth look with enough coats?

[@MatthewWilliams-ty5tw]

Do a video on hypershift emblems

[@dangomon1138]

How long did you wait in between coats? In Colorado so, it’s a bit cooler this time of year.

[@lexy_boo]

For taking off the excess dip around the trunk emblem and letters… how is it not pulling it off the emblem and letters while pulling the excess up? I am just curious on why it comes off the car so easily but not the letters/emblem? Thanks!

[@dl9640]

Hi! may i know how many layers should i be spraying for optimal results pls?

[@BLJTheGeneral]

How long does the product usually lasts for front grills? Give the about of wear and tear of debris and foreign objects that hit your front grill while driving does the plasti dip usually last before needed replacement? Months? Years? Almost a decade?

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

Nice to see my car on dyc.

[@Rsantana380]

joey bautista is painting cars now, btw good job

[@adamantiumcards8931]

[@midninteranger4315]

Thanks for sharing out of all the videos this one was most informative

[@grayson1914]

If you don't have the DYC pre dip spray is there a different thing to do instead of using it? Like washing your car or like soap and water?

[@BAMFkingBizarro]

+Grayson He literally said "don't wash your car before you're about to dip it".

[@narule2695]

+BAMFkingBizarro ahhahhaha

[@guttagutta420]

Just use isopropyl alcohol

[@billythroatpunch]

Absolute best presentation ever. Thank you!

[@joepah51]

Great video.. I had no freaking clue how people dipped those emblems.

[@cornpop9691]

I would assume you cannot use this technique if your car has been dipped as the emblem dip would stick to the body dip. Right?

[@isabelmedrano7333]

How long should you wait between each coat?

[@packisbetter90]

very cool didnt know plastic dip just peeled off that easy, makes what u think are bad mistakes nothing

[@jdawgblake]

Thanks for all your work making these vids.. Plasti dip is now an addiction!! Lol Great product..

[@RoadKill4Two]

How long does it last ? Will it start to come off if you take your car through the car wash on the regular basis? What about when you just wash your car yourself with a brush or a rag won’t it start to rub off?

[@flatmatt123]

would it better to follow this video for this task or would the other video on this channel showing how to do this ? i ask because this video says 6-7 coats and the other i had watched said that there were 4 total coats

Hi I’m doing a mid sized truck grille, mirrors, door handles and emblem. Will 2 cans still be enough or will I need 3 ? Thanks

[@VvSolovV]

So I added this comment to your most recent video in hoping you will see it but I want to put it on here as well considering my question relates directly to this. So I have just recently started watching these videos and Im really interested and excited to start dipping on my own. One question I have right now is I see in a lot of the videos that you spray right over the emblems of cars and they don't look taped/masked off and then in the final shots the emblems are not dipped but instead are in the standard chrome. Ive watched your video on spraying emblems and and I see you can just peel it away? do you ever run into the bridging problem on the emblems. To me (who has never done this before) it just seems like it would be all to easy to be peeling the dip off of the emblem but then it start taking the dip on the surface of the car with as you do it. Obviously I would use extremely care and go slow while peeling it off but do you ever run into that problem I described or is does it always just peel away with simply ease?

[@thomaspitts5161]

Tried to do this for my nissan altima regarding the lettering on the back. Didn't work for me so I just took the letters off first and then sprayed them. After that I put them back on the car. Ditto for the Nissan emblem on the grille. I could never get it just right and perfect using this method.

[@AKASHBajaj]

Hy I want to buy a plastic dip Plz let me know from where should I buy?

[@thecdymavrick2.060]

In other vids we were told to remove the tape straight adter the last coat to get a clean line? Now we are told to wait for it to dry and leave a 2 inch gap??!

[@quinni3b]

I was wondering if you had to used a primer to make the plastidip sticks?

[@luckytrapper7656]

How would you plastic dip stamped letters? Like the super duty stamped on the hood and tail gate of ford f250 and 350?

[@kchorton2]

So you easily removed the plasti dip from the areas you didnt want colored. The emblems and grille just hold the plastidip and it doesn't come off after wear and tear and use of your vehicle?

[@ConsiderCulture]

Great. What's the process for doing the emblems on a car that has already been plasti dipped or that you plan to plasti dip? ?

[@danieltaylor1038]

As for the grill it would be easier and quicker to remove the grill and spray it. That's how I did mine.

[@Mark-OutWest]

Just stunning!

[@Chanmantroop10]

When peeling, how come the dip on the emblems don't lift off as well

[@cyruspace2236]

There is enough of an edge to cut the dip so it won’t peel off
