Plasti-dip question for y'all...
Ok so I decided to Plasti-dip some of car but I had a few questions first.
How many cans of plasti-dip would I need to plasti-dip my front lip area below the license plate and the rear valence/diffuser (the part of the bumper that's around the tailpipes and fog lamp, idk what it's called)? I know I'm suppose to do 3-4 coats but how many cans do I need? What brand do y'all recommend? I can buy the plasti-dip at Home Depot right? Thanks!

1 can is more than enough to do the rear valence but since you also want to do the front lip I'd get 2 cans just in case. More is better with Plasti Dip in my experiences.
It's made by Peformix. All the Home Depots I have been to carry Plasti Dip. Good luck!

Will the heat from the tail pipes make the plasti-dip come off? I'm thinking about doing the mirrors too. What do y'all think?

Nope I have my rear valance Plasti Dipped and the heat does not affect it. I've thought about doing my mirrors before but haven't yet.

On the Plastidip website, there's a video of a BMW with the actual tips coated with no ill effects to the Plastidip.

My pipes are dipped (well my whole car), no problems with it. Plasti dip can get super hot or super cold and still be ok.

You couldn't do your whole car in cans, it wouldn't come out even. You can buy a gun and DIY but still might be tough if you've never sprayed before. I got my car and rims done for $650 by a shop. Money we'll spent if you want a cheap new look.
