Why what happend?

Bishop · 03-24-2008, 09:53 PM

Yeah, something go wrong during install or parts removal? or just not have the time?

**Gokart3** · 03-24-2008, 11:12 PM

Nothing drastic.... just ran out of time. Too many projects around the house that didn't cooperate.

The only part that I think could give me trouble during removal are the vent rings. I've had the center console apart several times... no worries there.

Subscribed... Great DIY info

Thanks I will check this out later today. How is the texture of the Plasti Dip after its fully cured/dry? Is it hard, or like a gummy/rubbery type?

Bishop · 03-25-2008, 10:36 AM

Its got a weird texture... its rubbery and a little squishy, but its very resistant to scratches and such, thats mainly why i chose it
Looks good + protects

Since it was easy to remove by the thumb rubbing/rolling method, do you have any worries that it's going to come off from something hitting or rubbing against it??
