Message: [QUOTE="Twinturbostroker, post: 935999, member: 5710"] Taping and masking, at least to my standards was BEYOND time consuming, but learned and tried a few tricks with weather stripping, that I'm really curious to see how it turns out....... Exactly......not to mention the "side business" Man I'm so ready for the bash....... Yeah I thought about taking it off, but God only knows how long its been on there and how many layers of paint it would have taken off with it Thanks man, the pics really don't do it justice What Sak said.....it ended up being 4 coats of just anthracite to get everything even and one color to get a good base coat. Painting Plasti-dip is very different from painting regular paint, if you want everything to look uniform and even, you have to keep the gun in the same position, no sweeping motions and after you get the 2nd coat down, you have to spray wet, but right before it starts to drip or run.....talk about tricky, but towards the end I was getting it pretty good Here is the pearlizer I used, which used a ratio of 1 to 3 pealizer/anthracite and then the last 2 was a HEAVY 50/50 mix, meaning I could generally cover the truck with 1 liter of paint, the last two coats took 2 liters each coat [ATTACH=full]130648[/ATTACH] I'm not really sure what to call the color just yet, as I haven't seen it in the daylight, but here it is dry..... [ATTACH=full]130649[/ATTACH] I couldn't wait any longer after an hour, so I had to let some sunlight in.... [ATTACH=full]130650[/ATTACH] And then finally, I pulled it out, trying to catch the last bit of sunlight that was left....
