zeitgeist57 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Dipped my buddy's Q5 today Emblems, wheels http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Yongchankim/8-2.jpg http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Yongchankim/9.jpg http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Yongchankim/10.jpg Wow...looks great! Did you remove the emblems, or just taped around them and wiped overspray with goo-gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyc12340 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Wow...looks great! Did you remove the emblems, or just taped around them and wiped overspray with goo-gone? Taped around, peeled right off and wiped it down with goo gone like stuff http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Yongchankim/5-3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yup it essentially sticks to the emblem and the body, but is separated since the emblems have a gap, and then you can peel off the overspray. For fine overspray a microfiber cloth will take it right off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Plastidip should make a dark tinted clear for doing headlights and taillights. Maybe I'll drop an email to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After final coat, waited longer to make sure everything was dried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubar231 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I have had the worst fucking luck in the world with this shit. Tried to do the grand sport stripes (Taped off w/ scotch painters tape), and couldnt get it to cut the fuckin stripes right and it kept peeling up and shit.... so scratched that. Tried to do the fucking berger panel mod and painted over the SS badges on it, tried to peel it off the SS badges and the badges didnt cut it at all, and tried to cut it myself around the badges and caused it to peel up so said fuck it to that idea too. How the hell are you guys getting this shit to cut so clean when removing tape / peeling it off? Im having hell trying to get the shit to look nice.

-Alex- Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Do not let it dry. Pull the tape immediately after your last coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderboy Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Im really thinking about doing the sentra with this stuff. You can buy pre thinned gallons for about $60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Alex- Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 How long do you wait between each coat then? I've never really timed my coats, but probably only 10 min or so depending on the size of the area. On bigger areas, I've just gone right back to the front and started over until I got the coverage and thickness I wanted. Just watch it, you can tell when it's wet, dry, or in between. Try to hit it again when it's in between so it's had a chance to tack up and grab onto the surface/previous coat, but still wet enough to flow out nicely. I've also noticed with this stuff to not freak out if it looks like it has a lot of orange peel after your last coat. It levels out nicely as it dries.
