Been wanting to do something exactly like this!!!! [emoji1360][emoji1360]Wow this place is dead. I spent the afternoon working on the truck. Fixed the underhood lighting and a pod light bracket. Then I did something I have been wanting to try. I blacked out the center section of the hood. I used a peelable paint for now so if I don't like it I can peel it off but if i do like it I will redo it with real paint.

Kinda hoping it takes some sun glare away. It hasn't been bad but any is annoying. I may leave the dip on there as it's kinda rubber coating protaction IDK we will seeBeen wanting to do something exactly like this!!!! [emoji1360][emoji1360]

This isn't hard to do. materials were around $25. IDK what vehicle you have but could take more or less materials. If you want to do it and need a hand I can try and helpBeen wanting to do something exactly like this!!!! [emoji1360][emoji1360]

Yeah, it wasn't cheap. Not too much either, I guess. There are some guys on Fredericksburg that are really good.I priced a guy here and was expensive maybe be I’ll get the vinyl and try it myself if I decide to keep it

That's kinda why I decided to do it in plasti dip. I know if I didn't like it in vinyl it could have easily been removed but a $300 risk I didn't want to take. The dip is actually pretty damn durable but having painted for years the lack of clean edges wears on me. A $25 dollar risk was a whole lot more reasonable for me. I like the vinyl avery ob I have seen done is spot on. A friend in Centerville has his whole truck wrapped orangeYeah, it wasn't cheap. Not too much either, I guess. There are some guys on Fredericksburg that are really good.
Having watched them do it, I might try it myself next time.

Pull the tape while the dip is wet. I even went back over the edges just prior to pulling the tape and still didn't get crisp edges. If somebody knows better please enlighten us. I painted vehicles and equipment for 30+ years and have done a fair bit of graphics but i can not get dip to leave a crisp edge. If it bothers me I'll just get a roll of 1/4" black or red pinstripe and edge it myself.What's the trick to getting the crispest lines with plastidip?

I'm diggin it so far. I'll either give it some time to see if I really like it and strip it and actually paint it on or just leave the dip it's kinda rubber coating protection anyway. The edges not being nice and clean is what irritates me but its just because i am used to regular paint when doing any sort of graffics. I guess i could run a piec of pin stripe down the edges to clean it up IDkI did a hood stripe on my JK with Plasti Dip. It last without blemish for over 3 years

The Wooly Bear is a great platform. Warren at Road trip has used some inginuity and come up with some really cool add on racks for them. I believe he has even developed an elevating tent platform. That's a tough little trailer.Haha. She has her moments.
I see your still digging the trailer. I keep tossing around the idea of the Woolybear for a gear hauler.
