I plasti dipped a lot of accents throughout my Jeep and I love the look! But since this stuff is addicting and iI want to do my whole jeep

I originally wanted all black, but then I saw a new color out blaze orange ( and keep my original black accents)

Also I would prefer to buy the cans, instead of the gallon. How many would it take ? Am I crazy of thinking this ?

I agree but i just watched a video on how to quickly and properly fix it. Where it peels, or scratches you just simply apply a thinner with your finger on the spot to get rid of the edge so it is not noticeable to the touch. Once that is taken care of simply just spray over the blemish, peel, scratch, etc.

You guys are crazy. Will that stuff work to protect from scratches? Does it peel of easily when you're sick of it?

If you do this, you must post photos. I really want to see it!

Maybe start with just the hood?
