skylerwaite Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 So at long last I finally went out and bought some plastidip for my grille. They didn't have the spray like I wanted, so I opted for the actual dip stuff and figured I'd brush it on. Bad idea. It looks all right from a distance, but up close it looks HORRIBLE. Is there any way I can take this stuff off?Oh and on a happier note; as I was returning from Lowes all the way across town (because I had to find out after 30 minutes of searching and asking every idiot in Home Depot that plastdip was "discontinued") I decided I'd stop and check out the Volvo dealership. And what did I find? A bunch of really nice cars. But hiding in the back of the lot.... a 1995 yellow 850 T-5R with the Volvo Motorsports badge still on. I mean, this car was EMACULATE. I have never seen a nicer car in my life. Anyway, that about made my week, just thought I'd share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachRat Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yeah, sand that down and hit it with a stripper. Not too much, though - you don't want to eat the real plastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinking940’s Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I had fell into the same problem, it probally looks all dripppy inbetween the grill inserts. So sand in between there, and then lightly sand the top, and then getthe spray can, and spray it. Can you post a pic to see where it looks the crappiest?
