Plasti-Dipped lower front bumper - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I used goof off on a rag to prep the area.

Nice! I did the same to my Firestorm FR-S and the look quickly grew on me.
I didn't do nearly the amount of taping as you did though... haha

Also to get the lines clean, I remove the tape that touches the plastidip immediately after I finish my last coat. If I let it set too long, the dip will lift off with the tape.

This is tempting..makes me wonder if I should do it to my Firestorm or not....

I use Windex with vinegar and a microfiber cloth to prep. It's worked on everything I dipped.

Same thing happened to me. I re-taped off the 1" x 2" area that peeled off, and resprayed it. The plastidip "seemed" together after several coats. Now you cant see the fixed area.

Did this with my Firestorm GT86 in mid-may but I used white plasti-dip
Black looked to me like it was missing a piece of his lip:

Produced a cleaner finished edge without the plastidip adhering.

did you also spray underneath part of that area or you just left it alone? looks legit.

To easy to pass up on at least trying .. Really just wanted to see how it would look .. Not quite even . I'll straighten it out on the next round

I went one step further. Decent protection from cones. Don't mind the dirt and the bugs.

For this reason alone I wish I didn't have an asphalt lol. The whiteouts looks amazing with this done!
