Just do it in black and if you do something criminal then you can peel the dip off and the cops will be like hey an esky. Na its black remember. Lol

Honestly, if I had the time, I would try it for the $400 or so it would cost. Work and kids consume 900% of my time...I gotta literally fit the modding in from 7-12 sat mornings I know this whole idea of spray painting an escalade sounds a bit retarded but I have seen some pretty cool jobs done with it on the net. Just wondering if any of you can share the real world experience.
But hey, if it's good enough for this Rolls...

...yes, it was plasti-dipped!

I think I'll start with the wheels first and see how that works out...getting a bit tired of black. Maybe silver....or matte black. I know you'll all probably say keep em black...you're probably right but I've actually never been a fan of black wheels.

Do they have a matte white or silver that would be clean!

Yep..they have it in White. I did my black door handles to see how it looked. It was ok. However I just removed the plastic dipped handle part now and have the front and back sections of the door handles white.

As for the whole truck...Im going to do mine in matte black next spring.

I would completely abandon that idea.
It probably won't look good, and if it did, it won;t for very long.
The moment you run it though the wrong car wash your car will come out looking like ish.

^^ thats why one should always wash and detail their car. I pressure was my grill surround and emblem that were plasti-dipped over a year ago and its holding up great. My brother in law dipped his 22s and they still look like they did on day one.

x2 on this and can you imagine the beating it'll take from the sun?? You have to work at keeping regular paint that is clear coated looking good after being sun beaten but plasti dip or the "let's bed liner our entire ride phenoma" looks TERRIBLE after a very short time of being kick in the nuts by the sun.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to do that...

Then one day a pebble (or big bug) hits it on the highway and it will be a goner. My grille is powder coated and still has a few chips on it. Plus, not everyone has the time to wash their car by themselves all the time.
My honest opinion of plasti-dip is a temporary way of corner cutting actually spray gunning/powder coating a piece.
It should only be used to get "a feel" of what a piece would like like painted in case one wants to reverse it after seeing the result without having to strip it like normal paint.

These cars are too classy (most of the time) to just be coated in plasti-dip!
