Let me know when you want to do this and I'll help ya out. I wouldn't sand or fill anything, just spray it on and see how it works. If you still feel the need to sand and fill we can just pull it off and start over.

Taking care of it as we speak. Greg and I bought some stuff to fill in those unsightly gaps. Once I get that done to my satisfaction, I'll have you guys come over and watch as the spraying commences.

Stop killing your bumper Dave!

Anyone used the full "Plati-Dip your car" kit? Looking at it as a possible alternative to vinyl wrap.

Can't hurt to experiment since the stuff comes right off if you don't like it.

I just ordered a can of white. All they sell locally is black. Any other color is available online.

lol ive seen that its not because he left it on too long, he did not put it on thick enough so it didnt peel off right so the genius decided to point blank pressure wash it off. the pressure washer ruined the paint not the plastidip, ive watched people cut various materials with a pressure washer from point blank owners own fault.
