What have you done to your K2 today?


Recommended Posts

 

Looks good to me and it doesn't peel, been through the car wash twice and still in perfect condition. Wicked Galaxy Note 3

 

 

I plasti Dipped my front bowtie, while a buddy bought one from Chevymall. Living in Pittsburgh with all the snow and road salt mine is still perfect, no peeling at all. His on the other hand has three chips in it and looks like shit. It wouldnt have been so bad if he didnt have to drill out his stock one to install the aftermarket one.

 

What is plastic dipped?

What is plastic dipped?

 

There is a site www.dipyourcar.com that shows what can be done with it or do a search on youtube for plastidip, plenty of videos. There is also a thread on here on page 3 of this section.

Can you do this on a 2014 sierra?? My emblem had 7 total tabs that where crazy hard to release from reaching in through the front of the grill. I'll also pass on taking a flathead to a week old $50k truck ;) I didn't want to remove the letters, I'm a little confused on what you meant about that. e5u7e5e7.jpg Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

All I done was with a flat top screwdriver was gently pry the logo off the grill. it just popped off .did not force it just slow easy pressure,worked my way around from top to sides to bottom, then when you look at the back there is a bunch of little holes with white plastic sticking out this is what keeps the letters attached,I then got a drill and drilled out the holes, (do not go to deep as to hit the back of the letters) the letters just fell out and off the chrome bracket .I than spray painted the letters black waited for them to dry put a small dap of PL400 adheisive where I drilled ,placed the letters back into there place,let dry for a couple hours,than snapped the gmc logo back onto the grill. My truck is only 3 weeks old and $55 plus.

Yes you can Plasti Dip you logo to look like that. You just tape off the grill, put a 3-5 light coats on. I used the glossifier on mine to get a better finish. After its dry it should just peel off the chrome.

Did you plasti-dip the "SILVERADO" as well?

If so, did you mask the letters off on the truck, or remove them and re-apply them?

I left the letters on the truck just left a 1/2" space between the letters and tape. Then just peel the dip off and it cuts off right where every letter starts. Make sure you let it dry enough after your last coat or you might peel part of a letter.

I actually already dipped mine, I was asking about the previous post on how to remove the emblem/letters. I found it very easy to dip it once I got everything taped off. I probably did more like 7 or 8 very light coats. I posted a couple pics on the previous page.

I found some antennas on Amazon but I'm not sure if they will fit good, where did you get yours?

I like the window tint. How many inches is the strip on the windshield? and does it effect your view??
