There are plenty of people that have tried and have chimed in on this existing thread

awesome. I did a search but wanted to hear from people first hand of how it worked/looked

yep - i'm happy with mine - easy to do...

how are people getting a decent straight edge when doing the fangs? im worried that when peeling the plasti-dip will try to come off with the tape...

It does... just had that issue this weekend. Everything LOOKS fine until you take off the tape and riiiiiiiiiiiiiip. The finely taped edge just tears like crap and leaves you with a ragged edge.

Damn :shakes head:

Try experimenting with peeling the tape at different stages of drying. Also, running a razor blade right along the edge as you're peeling the tape should help. You're just trying to score the coating, not slide all the way through. It takes some practice.

I haven't plasti-dipped anything in years, but those 2 things made a lot of difference for me.

what VIVIDRACING said!

use a new raxor blade and take your time. Its kinda a PITA but worth it.

I very lightly scored (used a new Xacto knife blade) the Plastidip at the edge of the Plastidip/masking tape joint and got very nice edges. Practice on some scrap material first so you won't cut into the paint.

You can also try my Vinyl Overlay for the fangs ;).

I pulled the tape off about 10min after spraying and didn't have issues. It's been perfect for a month now.

I have had really good results with my fangs. I painted them several months ago, and they still look great. I spent a lot of time getting the tape straight, and then scored the dried Plastidip with a razor before peeling the tape away. To notice any imperfections in the painted edge you have to be within a few inches.

You guys were correct on the peeling issue. I should have taken more time with the razor to get the tape to come off a little easier!! Here are a few pics of the aftrermath. Good thing it comes off so easy!! I found that Windex with amonia works the best.

That's it. I'm going to go buy some of this stuff.

just did mine, pretty stoked on the plasta dip product! How did your door handles hold up?

pics!
