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.

[@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.

[@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

[@UpcomingPhilly]

best tutorial so far on g37 plastic dip..newer people cant make quality and professional content like u.good job my niqqa

[@jalderink]

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!

[@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!!!!

[@steveboswell4189]

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

[@kidkrash6k]

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

[@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.

[@Lordforgives]

Jake Higgins! Thanks for the information wu want hear

[@algersonvincent]

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

[@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.

[@jasonm8427]

Great video.. just did my 2015 ram... worked like a charm...... Thanks!

[@RogueRunner7]

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

[@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

[@weihuey2366]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@mrvang8077]

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

[@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.

[@kgog1]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@CarAudioInc]

That tape and drape stuff is genius.

[@CarAudioInc]

well fuck you then

[@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!!

[@alvinomartinez6549]

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

[@itamarcarlos1075]

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!!

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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@dl9640]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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?

[@dangomon1138]

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

[@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

[@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

[@angierox6964]

Very cool! I’m excited to do my Jeep!

[@jordanzx6r]

that peeling is satisfying

[@rotatingcats]

yall talking about this dudes arms im over thinking about how this dudes voice is so soothing.

[@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?

[@adamzeller7249]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@tish359]

Hi just wondering if you've done a bmw emblem yet? I wanted to change the blue to purple, any ideas would be great. Even better if you did a video 😉☺

[@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

[@sportsguy28227]

You did an awesome job in this tutorial.

[@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?

[@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?

[@bosco_boscobosco]

You can’t paint emblems of a just dipped car

[@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?

[@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??!

[@pvegod1484]

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

[@bobcatdc]

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

[@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.

[@luckytrapper7656]

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

[@adamantiumcards8931]

Nice! How long do you wait between coats?

[@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.

[@clowningaround4182]

Cool video.. what's an Infiniti ??? Is it an American car brand

[@midninteranger4315]

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

[@The_Autumn_Wind_]

Excellent video

[@thecdymavrick2.060]

Does glossifier effect how the plastic dip peels, i want to ad a gloss coats when doing the logos but will it not work in those tight corners

[@johnregan3549]

What is the best glossifier to use? I have tried the plastic up glossifier and found out it did not have that glossy sheen to the finished product. Any suggestions?

[@joepah51]

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

[@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

[@jdawgblake]

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

[@vicmed6088]

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

[@KINGSL0THXXIII]

How long after you spray do you take it off? Meaning the masking and doing the edges?

[@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?

[@rsohal13]

If I want to use the glossifier on my emblems, is the process the same? Will the dip still peel nice and easy around the contours of the logo after using the glossifier?

[@RKO859]

Hello, where can we buy this "pre dip spray" in local home hardware store, such as canadian tire? Is it basically just a cleaning alcohol?

[@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.

[@Rsantana380]

joey bautista is painting cars now, btw good job

[@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

[@brendancross2767]

There's painters tape over the lens

[@globalhd6309]

do you not have fucking common sense... karen

[@Vqfool]

Good reminder for people doing this tho

[@Vqfool]

Thanks

[@Andr3wE]

I'm about to blackout my grille, but I have a small spot where the original paint is chipped. What's the best way to proceed? Sand the spot and prime? Just put a couple extra coats on the grille and hope it blends? It's not a deep spot, but I would prefer not to have a "dent" in the dip.

[@h.m.saeedsheraz5970]

can we use any spary from different company or there is special spray for it

[@OGChadney]

can this same process of masking, over-spraying the area, then peeling around the emblem be used if the car's body is plasti dipped? or will that pull off the body plasti dip?

[@SaimesierP]

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

[@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..

[@quinni3b]

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

[@steve_nguyen5320]

hello! completely new to this. at fhe beginning you said abiuf 6 or 7 coats minimum but it looked like you only put maybe two or three coats? also what is the Color and name of all the plasti dip coats you used on you S6 rims?

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

Nice to see my car on dyc.

[@whoeverwhoever400]

how does that paint only bond on the emblem when you peel it? Also, how many power wash can the paint survive?

[@SteveSidi]

What did you use to cover the back up camera lens? did you cut it out? or just eye it and put a piece of tape over it? will it peel clean off the camera lens? about to attempt this tut on a g37x sport coupe :P thx man!

[@jasper_north]

Is it needed to dip the back of the grill too? In order to let the dip stick better? Taking out the grill would be the best idea?

[@austinwickline550]

I have a 6 door OBS Ford F-350 I want to try this but can I get a color that shines

[@urmastertech]

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

[@Mark-OutWest]

Just stunning!

[@shelteru]

How long will this last? Will it make it through car washes?

[@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]

[@jonathanbrattle5409]

Just tried this and it failed miserably. Likely operator error lol. Put on 5 coats while in my garage. Cleaned the surface throughly, waited 30 minutes or so between coats. Let dry for two hours after last coat. All started peeling off the emblems as I was removing. Any advice?

[@flacovences2769]

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

[@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.

[@anthonylu_]

Is it possible for the chrome grille finish to came off when we peel off the Plastidip after lets say about one year? Because one of my friend buy some kind of plastidip (Peelable paint, but I'm not sure wether it's Plastidip or not) and apply it to his car grille and when he peel the paint off,some of the original chrome finish of the grille came off with the peelable paint.

[@descargasdenia3161]

Hello from Spain, I follow all your works and they are excellent, did you may subtitularlos in Spanish? Thank you

[@packisbetter90]

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

[@Measadam]

awesome video! My question to you, however, is: Can the plastidip be removed from a car grill several years later if you decide you want the chrome look back or you want to sell the car in original condition? Thank you!

[@pacmanjones5625]

yes, you just get something sharp to get a slit cut in it and it will peel right off

[@forevermarkel]

What are those defects on the right of the grill?

[@ramone167]

Just followed this tutorial and am very happy with the results! My issue, there's a slight haze that was left after the plasti dip was peeled and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it off. Buffing with a micro fiber towel is getting me nowhere. Any tips?

[@MonchkinLand]

Peter Raizis alcohol or a paint correction product/liquid should get it off. Prob even use your finger and rub back and forth really hard lol.

[@guttagutta420]

What color was your car out of curiosity? I’m about to dip my emblems and my car is black and I’m worried about something like that too. If I breath on my black paint it scratches it so I don’t need to be trying to run anything out lol

[@ramone167]

The car was white, the emblems were red. It left a slight pink haze that eventually went away on its own. I doubt you’d have anything to worry about on a black car!

[@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?
