I'd be more inclined to cut it with a Stanley knife once done.

lukeyprotege · 03-02-2013, 06:09 PM

Dam you plastadip making it hard for people with a dish. I was thinking stanly knife aswell might do it next mod day. Im going to see how much my friend would paint them for he doeall his own stuff and its his dads company if its something reasonables I might just get him to do it. Anyone know the price of plasti dip and how much ill need?

marcs_sp20 · 03-02-2013, 06:16 PM

Plastidip is $30/can, and you'll need around 4

Clean_Cookie · 03-02-2013, 09:40 PM

lukeyprotege · 03-02-2013, 10:55 PM
