[QbanCgar]

just got my 6 cans of PlastiDip @ Lowe's, so weather & time permitting i hope to have at least the bumpers & wheel well trim done up before the weekend is over. so besides the obvious (masking, removing wheels), any other thing or tips i should know? thanks in advance.

if you have a garage...just take everything off and put the truck on blocks

You probably already know this but..... start with a really light coat that you can still almost see through, and then let it dry 20mins to half an hour..and continue adding coats . I went 4 coats on mine. Stuff is awesome.

Dont let the cans get cold!! Keep them inside when you aren't using them.

good looking out! speaking of cold, w/ Sandy sweeping through here our temps here have dropped 40s-50s. so w/ that being said, how cold is too cold to try & spray this stuff on?

As long as the stuff was room temp, it worked fine for me. I left the cans in my truck overnight (0 to -10 F) and then tried to spray the next day and it came out in large chunks instead of a nice spray haha. I put them in some warm water for a bit, and after that they worked great. It was about 10 degrees when I did my rims. Still holds just fine. So you should be more than fine to go ahead and spray.

And post pics when you are done!
