I was just wondering if anyone had a quick DIY of a Plasti-Dip grille. i really like the black grille look for a CPB and wanted to do it. but i couldnt find a good description on how to do it. please help

we had a couple of members do that. But I think most have used cf vinyl to wrap the grille in. PM Defconskylude. I believe he did partially plastidip his grille.

search my old threads. its not hard to use plasti dip. just follow the directions and start spraying everywhere. whatever you dont like, just peel it off

i used plasti dip on the outer grill and cf vinyl for the inner grill

mask off anything you don't want to spray. this is actually the time consuming part. shake your can. For the first coat, spray a heavy coat. wait till it dries. usually about 30 mins. then spray a light coat for every layer after that. be careful taking off the masked part because the plasti-dip might be stuck to whatever part you are spraying.

where did you get the paint? local store? color?

kowloonsniperhk

hardware store like Ace or Home Depot. They do carry colors but usually people use black.

Awesome! there's a Ace right down the street. and black it is! what kind of tape should i get? and if i don't like it (really doubt it), how to i peel it off exactly?

PyroDave

get the blue painters tape, and newspaper. just tape newspaper around the parts you don't want plastidipped. then spray. when your done, make sure you give it a few hours to fully set/dry, then you can use a toothpick or something to separate the dip from the parts on the plastidip, and pull off the tape/newspaper. the reason for the toothpick is so that you don't pull it off the grill and stuff when you are pulling the tape off. like perforated edges lol

thank you! thats gunna help me alot tomorrow bc i would have rips in my paint lol.

if i dont like it black, how would i take it off?

PyroDave

pull =P it comes off easily, hence why you have to separate it before you pull off the tape. its like idk dried elmers glue. ever let the liquid glue dry on your hand or on a table? probably like that
