Anyone dip the truck??

Is anyone dip their truck? I have few questions:-
How long it’s been you dipped it? How is your experience so far? How bad it attracts dirt? How long it usually last?
How bad is wear and tear and how do you handle it?
Share any other valuable information
I am thinking to dip my truck gloss black

 

When you say you plan to dip the truck, do you plan to do it yourself?
Or are you going to have it professionally done?

If you are going to pay to have it done IMO you should get a vinyl wrap instead. It will be more durable and last longer.

As for dipping I dipped the chrome around my front grille and hood. It holds up well and looks good enough to not justify me spending money on replacing the grille with something aftermarket.
Any rocks that hit it have strong potential to make it start peeling.
For $10 I wont complain though!

 

What is dipping? Like plasti-dip?

 

Nah check dip your car on youtube

 

Yeah I am thinking to do by myself vinyl wrap is way too expensive

 

Neat. Be interested to see if anyone’s done it to their tundra yet.

 

I am also trying to find someone who has done it.

 

And what color do you use to dip and which product you use?

 

Already spend too much on this truck so I will keep it and may be wrap it

 

I bought black plasti dip.
I just thought the front grille and hood bulge were too much chrome and wanted to cover it up cheap.

 

I did my bumpers with Protect-dip and I'm happy. It does attract dirt, but it does clean off with some scrubbing or brushing with soap. I will put some ceramic detailing spray on it soon and we'll see. Its been on there since new years and I'm happy with it. I wouldnt do a whole vehicle though, it would cost a fair bit to put enough coats on (you have to do half a dozen coats at least for it to be removable) and it will not look as good as a black truck. I found the finish was even and not blotchy, it was forgiving to apply, but cmon, you have a sick looking truck, just leave well enough alone.

 

Unless you want to have the front end redone every year or two, go with wrap instead. My hood bulge has been dipped for 2 years now and it looks like crap from bugs and rocks chipping it.

 

Ya I thought it was plasti-dip essentially
