Best advise I can give Erik is clean the surface with windex and apply a very light first coat. Almost so light that it doesn't cover your decal very much. Let it dry 15-20 mins and apply second coat a tad bit thicker, so forth and so on till you get to your desired look, prolly 4-5 coats, each coat that you apply add it on a little thicker. Shake can real good and stay about 6 inches away while spraying. First time I did it and messed up I got to close and sprayed to heavy thus getting a drip like look. 6 inches and light coats. NO WORRIES thou cause if you mess it up it comes off real easy. Give me a call if you need any verbal help!

That right thar sounds like a 6 pack of beer job. A 12 pack if you do each side seperatly LOLQuote:

Wish I had thought of this last summer when I got the letters replaced.

no brother, shouldn't have taken you that long. some long stripes of blue painter tape around the letters than cover up a bit around for the over spray. but even with over spray it comes right off with a wet microfiber towel. don't let it intimidate ya kid!!

You forgetting about all the intricacies between letters and spaces inside the O's and B's. I'm a perfectionist so that is part of the problem...Quote:

you don't tape around around the letters thou. just tape a box around the letters and spray the whole thing. them with a tooth pick you peel around/between the letters. when you peel the plasti away it will peel off the letters then you tooth pick in between letters. let me try and find the video, may make more sense that way

If I had the chrome Moomba letters I would be all over it.
same here, the letters are gonna look to good blacked out

Easier than washing anyway.
So the consensus is this (the spray kind) won't hold up well to high traffic or highly handled / wear and tear items?
It is tuff but I think it would need to be pretty thick for a wear area.
I think if you put enough coats on it will be fine. my front emblem and light covers have been on highways speeds and high pressure car wash with numerous direct hits from power washer hose and no issues. did a skate board for kids and no issues so far either. if it does come off in a spot or two it's easy to fix, just touch up with your can of plasti

Man, I want to do it, but I dropped some $80 on the chrome reg numbers and I'm worried the DNR won't go for those being blacked out on the black part of the hull. Do you guys that have used it think it will work on the "MOOMBA" decals on the transom and the "MOJO" on the rear sides, too? It's more of a domed sticker material than the side chrome ones.Quote:

with your reg numbers up front you can spray them black then use a plastic razor blade and trim about an inch around so that way you have part chrome part black to add a little "pop" to the reg numbers.( like boone's Chevy emblem) or you can black out and it water cops tell ya it's a no go just remove the plasti

How durable is the stuff on the front of your rigs? Would think the highway bugs would real havoc?

I've not had any problems so far Viking. been threw a couple good rain showers and 2 trips with the power washer at the car wash and no signs of wear or tear. dead bugs wash right off

Wow, im so tempted to use this on my headlights to darken the edges, the tail lights to shade them a bit.
Im seriously considering doing th lowered section in the center of my trucks hood and make a couple black strips down the sides to match the strips on the new boat.
Kinda like when you see them big 5th wheel RVs and the carry the stripes right over to the truck. Shaweet.
Just for the fun of it.Attachment 16753

I am not sure if it will hold up to the water or slow it down? There is not much texture to it. It just feels like flat paint.
We will see....
I think I will plasti dip my anchor this summer.
Now that sounds like a damn good idea. Need to head to home depot now.Quote:

Gonna put about 100 coats on the hitch stem where it inserts to receiver and hopefully that will quite down some of the metal on metal clanking all the time

HAHAHA Jason you are an inspiration.
I wrap the hitch with duct tape so it doesn't rattle or vibrate. You know, duct tape has many good uses.
I can think of at least one right now:

Ok, one of you guys needs to plastidip the entire rub rail so I can check it out and see if I want to pursue it or not...
