RE: Wonders of Plastidip

[freescopesdad]

Has anyone else (besides me) discovered (and used) this stuff? It is available in spray cans in matte black from Home Depot and the like, but in colors via mailorder. It is actually a form of latex rubber, and completely reversible if you don't like the results. No pictures just yet, but I blacked out the front and rear Mazda logos and the front chrome grill surround. I am not sure how long it will last, but some folks say up to 3-4 years if applied properly. Heck some folks have done whole cars with it. Check out http://www.dipyourcar.com for more details.

I have had 2 cans sitting around for months. Bought it planning on dipping my emblems and wheels. Still plan on doing it but now I have to wait for warmer weather.

I used Plastidip on my Daisies

[Grumpy]

Yep, I discovered it. Doors were all the pumpkin orange color except for top part.

How thick does plastidip spray on? Can you do a 2 tone color on a single part without having the accent color bulge noticeably further than the base color?

[wannafbody]

It's thin stuff.

I might get on this then.

this looks pretty cool! how easily would this peel off? say if i were to spray my wheels. i have seen how it comes off, but i wouldnt want it to come off too easily. i guess i could try it. for 6 bucks and completely reversible, who cares?!?

[Grumpy]

Just don't try to paint over it. Then its not permanent but its a bitch to take off.

[diabeetus]

paint over it? like with different kind of spray paint? also, thats good that its a bitch to get off. i was imagining, that because its basically rubber(?), that even your finger nail would leave a wrinkle in the paint.

[Grumpy]

Yes with a regular spray paint. Someone had wanted to test different colors on their wheels and put down a layer of plastidp first,then sprayed the color, thinking it would just peel off that way. It didn't.

I Plastidipped my steering wheel.

That is sexy...

I looooooove plastidip! I did emblems, console, front r package lip... rollbar.. seems like if the part is exposed to the sun or heat a lot, it does not want to peel off easy after. The rollbar was a bitch haha

[diabeetus]

why am i just now hearing about this shit?
