What color Plasti Dip for White Diamond?

GooseCreekFarms · June 29, 2016

Wanting to Plasti Dip the wife's GMC emblems on her 2015 Sierra... What color Plasti Dip are you using to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

I've been thinking of doing this too. I saw where someone used white, then a pearlizer, and maybe a clearcoat. But he did his bumpers, so I'm guessing it's a pretty close match. I'll see if I can find his post. I think it was in a build thread.

Base layer (5 coats min) of white followed by a second layer of Pearlizer (5 coats min) will match WDT pretty well. My entire front end, mirrors, door handles, etc were all dipped. I recently had everything painted but the dip lasted well over a year through all sorts of driving conditions.

Thanks for your help! Also, where did you purchase your Plasti Dip?

UPDATE:

I purchased the White plasti dip and the pearlizer plasti dip over the weekend and here are my results...

Matches almost perfectly. I followed the steps my fellow poster's provided of 5 coats white, then 5 pearlizer. Waited an hour then pulled the excess off. Pretty simple and the ol lady is happy with the results thanks again!

Since you have a 16 does that mean you have white frost? I am curious because I was wondering how it matched our 2016 tricoat paint

I have a '16 that's quick silver metallic. My wife's is a '15 and its White diamond tricoat, and that's the one I painted to match. However I think just the white would would match pretty close to the frost, but I'm not positive on that. Sorry for the confusion!
