That’s the way this stuff peels. If two different kinds of surfaces come together but still have a big enough gap, it will rip perfectly in that spot. This is where the film is the weakest. This is while you don’t mask right up against the emblem, otherwise the film will be too thick where it bridges the gap.

It looks great! How is it holding up? I want to black out my chrome front grill, window trim, and maybe my emblems as well on my 2018 Accord. Trying to decide between this and Plastidip - I want to keep it as budget friendly as possible and I don’t know if shelling out a bit more money for the same result is worth it. What do you think is better, Plastidip or the Hyperdip? Thanks for making this video and I hope all is well with you.
@Donslife3 жыл бұрын
I haven't had any issues with adhesion or the look of the finish. Plasti Dip is a good choice, it is a little more forgiving to apply and more readily available at local stores. However, the finish is a little dull compared to Hyperdip. I have plasti dip on the wheels and a little wipe of tire shine glosses it up, but then makes dust stick a little more. I would recommend buying a can of either product to practice on the emblems first. Then once you are familiar with how the process goes, you'll avoid mistakes on the trim. Trim could be tricky to peel depending how your weatherstripping is designed. For the Cadillac, I was lucky there was a hard edge (like and emblem) that the product laid onto thinner, allowing it to rip in that spot as I peeled very slowly

@Donslife3 жыл бұрын
Hi Chris! I have lots and lots of experience with Plasti Dip. Especially in black. The difference with Hyperdip is noticeable and it seems to present itself a little darker and more satin than flat like Plastidip. If you go back a few months on my channel you’ll see a Plastidip removal video for my GMC Sierra Denali using a pressure washer. One important thing to mention: Hyper Dip’s instructions state that it is not compatible with Plastidip, so I recommend starting fresh with whatever you choose. I decided to give Hyperdip a shot since claims to be better for vehicles. I forgot to mention, the escalade wheels are 4yr old Plastidip and in person look dull compared to the Hyperdip, but time will tell. Consider subscribing if not already! ✌🏼

Thanks, I answer this question a lot. The product is from south Florida so if done right, it should resist heat. Applying it in high humidity can lead to adhesion problems. I live in Canada and I haven’t had any issues with -40°F and as for extreme heat, we only get up to 90°F where I live. I have used it on items that I wanted to customize temporarily. As long as the preparation is done well, it should last. If you have a spot get damaged by a rock or something, it can be repaired by peeling it off and redoing and is inexpensive. Good option for a leased vehicle too. I recommend proper automotive paint and clear coat for anything you know you want to be more permanent.

It's kinda hard to see using can spray paint kit on a 120k Escalade....
@Donslife3 жыл бұрын
I agree, but it looks great if done right and can be peeled off at any time. Taking the grill off, sanding and painting to make a custom color....just to have the next potential owner dislike the color is a risk of making a permanent change.

I just do it for my own projects. It takes a few hours in most cases, mostly waiting 20 mins between each coat. Cleaning and masking a grill : 15-30 mins. 6-8 coats take a minute each with 20 mins dry time in between. Clean up maybe 15 mins.

So how bad was your overspray on the onmasked portion of the car and the one next to it?
@Donslife3 жыл бұрын
Non existent, the particles are much larger than spray paint. I have used plasti dip for years and if you control your spray pattern with proper distance, you may be surprised at how controlled you can be. If there was any, it would be so light, it would be dry-fall (not sticky) and just wipe or wash off. Extra masking never hurts though.

Hi. Is this safe to take through normal car wash ? Is it known to eventually fade off due to car washes
@Donslife3 жыл бұрын
If the surface was prepped properly to create good adhesion, then a car wash should be okay. In the past I usually wand wash or hand wash, but you would need pretty high pressure to peel it off. As for fading, I haven’t noticed any yet. With the Plasti Dip product I would treat it with some tire shine product if it looked faded over the years.

What is the final finish like ??? Is is flat, ultra flat, eggshell or satin ??? I would like to restore some very faded black grill inserts and side moldings. The original factory finish was an eggshell finish. Could this product reproduce that look ??? Car is 20 years old and factory replacement parts are no longer available. From the video images, it looks like the finish I want. Thanks. PS-- How durable is this product ??? Will it eventually wear off or is it permanent ???
@Donslife3 жыл бұрын
The final finish of ‘shadow black’ is mostly satin. They make others like piano black, metallic and gloss too. It is more of a peelable paint so it won’t wreck anything by accidentally overspraying it. I personally have only tried it on wheels, grills, emblems and window trim. I don’t know how well it would work on plastic moldings that have a texture. Assuming you could degrease it and clean it well, it might work. It might be best to try Plasti Dip first (cheaper) as a test. If it works well, but the then peel it off and go with the color / finish you want with hyper dip. The longest I have had Plasti dip is 7+ years on my inner grill and emblems on a 2013 gmc sierra denali. Sold it a few months ago, all still intact. Bugs didn’t wreck the grill finish either. Remember Hyperdip is newer and intended more for automotive so it should be just as good if not better than Plasti Dip. I only use these products when I want a temporary color change and when I want it back to stock, I can peel it off or the next owner can if I sell.

@@Donslife Thanks so much for the info. I am just looking for a product that will restore the original finish on a few trim pieces as they are not made any longer and junkyard items are in just as bad or worse condition then what I have.
