I haven't tried but have had the same idea. Still deciding if I am going to plastidip the whole body or not. If i decide not to then I am probably going to try the clear on the front few inches of the hood to act as a protective screen...
Yeah I had a hard time too and tried with taping while they were still on but it dripped a lot. Maybe I just need to go slower on layering?
Well done on the tailgate! When you did the rear emblem/camera bezel, did you remove it from the tailgate? And, did the emblem pop right off? Swapping mine with a black/red emblem and plan to dip the bezel as well. Thx!Agreed...
I plasti-dipped all my badges, there's a small hole on the bottom to the right of the logo, pops right off with a trim removal poker. Keep track of the clips, they like to fall off.
Here's a photo of a CrewCab I test drove where you can see the protective film. The lighter the color... the easier it is to see.
Im curious about this also, They dont have fluid film or anything other than rubberized undercoating here. Im not using that stuff on my unit.
The clear is only meant to be put over plasti-dip per the manufacturer is you are talking about the gloss dip
Had the same thing and did the same thing you did...Here's a photo of a CrewCab I test drove where you can see the protective film. The lighter the color... the easier it is to see.
My truck also had some of this film flapping in the wind due to incorrect placement at the factory. I ended up cutting the part that was loose off using an x-acto knife.
I was thinking of the black, as long as it would not trap moisture.
It won't trap water, but it will not exactly be high gloss over black dip. It will be nicer, just not high gloss like the trucks paint. Put it on in thin layers, let dry, then the gloss clear.. Don't like it? Peel it off, e-z peezy..
