My local Home Depot only sells it in black and white. As much as I despise it, Pep Boys has MANY options!!

Black is what I want so thats cool. Pepboys is probably way more expensive too.

Walmart and Ace hardware also have a few other choices too. Walmart being the cheapest.

I didn't realize walmart sold it Shawn, how much is it there? I can't remember per can at Pepboys but for 4 cans of black dip and 2 cans of clear it was $47. That did all the chrome on my truck.

No, it's just personal preference. Plasti dip finishes a flat color. Since the rest of the truck isn't a flat color, I sprayed the clear to give it a glossy finish.

If you want to be able to peel it (which I am assuming is why you are using plasti dip) do not use a regular clear coat. It will harden the rubber and lose the peelability. You can get a little more shine with plasti dip brand glossifier. It still won't be super shiny though.

I've been able to peel it off even with the clear coat with no problem.
I'd prefer my whole truck be a flat black or even a gunmetal color, that's just not in the budget right now. I just didn't like the flat up against the glossy.
