Gave the old truck a bit of the modern look with the front bumper and grille. And will probably do the wheels next. Cheap way to make a vehicle look a bit more modern.
Love this stuff almost impossible to mess up just be generous when applying your coats I’ve used a lot of the white on my sport kinda poor man paint match.Just done my door handles a lot cheaper and looks better than the tape on over lay.I also painted a set of high altitude rims plasti dip white and thought about the 2k clear and decided to just go with the glossifier hearing stories about hard to remove dip afterwards tires only had 50 miles on them when he lifted and installed new rims and tires and sold the jeep still had the tots and red strip around tire so ya brand new so i figured I may want to sale are trade one day for 17/18 inch rims they are twenty’s and so are the Foose so they ride nice the Goodyear mud tires not so much and airing down is out the question lol low profile mudders anyway way of subject sorry love the plasti dip so far so good
I bought Plasti-dip for the mirrors on my motorhome. The mirrors are aftermarket, and come on an extended aluminum bracket that was so poorly painted it was flaking off and leaving oxidized aluminum underneath (the one photo of the base of the mirror shows what it was looking like). As well, the actual mirrors backs were a horrible cream color. I'm not sure if they were white and the sun had made them change color, or if somebody thought an off-white brown color would look good on a motorhome. Anyway, I ran a wire wheel on the aluminom to get off the paint that was coming off anyway, and left some of the old white coating where it wasn't weathered. I didn't really care about finish, and it certainluy shows I didn't under the plastidip. But the Plastidip went on well, and I did it in a bunch of light coats just like spray paint. It was easy to spray on and dried reasonably fast between coats. I was done in a short afternoon.I put the mirrors away to dry, and after a week went to put them on. I am surprised by the weird texture Plastidip leaves. It simply feels weird, almost wet, but it's not. Either way, it seems durable enough. I put the mirrors on, and they do look much better. For a cheap and easy solution to painting both plastic and oxidized aluminum, this worked great. I was able to touch up areas that I had missed easily enough after I had installed them. Some got on the mirror surface, and it came off reasonably easy with a razor blade. I can see how this would peel off.I have no idea how peelable this material is, as I haven't tried it yet, and I am hopeful this will stand the test of time. If it does, I'll be well pleased with it.
I've used plasti-dip on other projects and have gotten mixed results but it seems like the best option for making a remote control a little stickier to the touch.I recently bought a universal remote control and found that the back of the remote is VERY smooth, too smooth. The remote will easily slide out of my hand if my hand relaxes for a second while I'm searching for something to watch.I put 4 coats on this remote, only waiting 30 minutes between coats (per the directions). For reference, I gave the remote 3 to 4 passes per coat. I moved quickly, though. You should move the bottle with some alacrity (been waiting a year to use that in a sentence) so the liquid rubber doesn't pool up and look amateur.PRO TIP:Use a razor or sharp exacto knife box cutter and cut a line between tape and plasti-dip (where necessary).You can see in a couple of the photos that I didn't cut the line clean enough cuz the blade wasn't as sharp as I thought.Plasti-dip does stick relatively well. I'll update this review as soon as the plasti-dip starts to peel (eventually this peels from whatever I put it on).In the photos, I circled in red where I could've done a better job with the tape removal.There's gotta be something out there more durable than this stuff but it's so convenient to use that I'll probably buy more when this can runs out.I'd recommend it but be prepared to be let down (maybe you won't!).I hope this was helpful!
Much easier to use than the regular dip but needs to have at least 2 coats if not 3 and then a clear finish coat or two to keep it from being tacky. Holds up well so far. 1st pic is before and after shots second one has the channel locks on the end which have been dipped and the others were sprayed. The last one has the two that were sprayed and two socket tools dipped but dip applied with a brush since can was too low to dip tool in.I do like the finish of the dip better than the spray but much more difficult to apply evenly. I can get a better finish with the spray with xtra coats and with a spray can you can use all the product efficiently unlike the dip which has much more waste.The more I have worked with it the better I am getting so now I can restore and make useful some of the older tools I have. Use some rust reformer on them first but don't think its imperative.I wish knew about this long before now and am looking forward to trying some of the color choices.
Stuff works great for the pluck n pick foam in pelican cases, I used it with the blue plastidip and it turned out pretty good, my only complaint is that the lid to the black came cracked, but it did not affect how the product worked. It didn't take very long to do, maybe 30 minutes, but I live in a very dry desert climate and it was relatively warm, but I did do this at night and I let it dry over night, about 8 hours, but I'm sure it dried quicker than that, came out very nicely. It is darker than the photo because I had the flash on. When layering colors I suggest putting on maybe 4-6 coats after the first one, I layered the black over the blue and it kind of navy blue on the black, so I may go back and fix it if it bothers my wife enough.
I found this product at my local home depot but i decided to buy from amazon, cheaper buy. I own a MINI Cooper and wanted to plasti dip the headlights and some chrome around it. Very easy to use, i looked online and found few good reviews about the product and how to use it.I recommend to clean very well the surface you want to plasti dip, and spray it 4 coats to actually make it stick properly. Give it about 10-15 minutes between each coat so it dries well and sticks to the surface.After i was done with the process i applied a coat of Performix 11209 Plasti Dip Clear (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006SU3QW?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_81) to seal everything and also it gives a shiny look.FYI if you apply it to any exterior part of your car, Wait two weeks before run it thru the car wash and even then I suggest you go to a touchless car wash or wash it yourself. After a month you should be 100% good to go.Review Update: I plasti dipped my car a little over a year now and it looks as new as it did when i first apply the product. I actually removed part of it to see if the dip was eating the chrome, I red online some people had trouble it that, but the chrome looked brand new, so i re applied the product and i can't tell the difference between the old plasti dip and the most recent one.I am going to try the Blaze orange next for my rear view mirror caps and see how it goes.One can was enough for the front grill of my car, 2 front & rear light cluster surrounds, times 4 coats and i still have plenty left!
I went and plasty dip my emblems on my GMC sierra. I was able to unclip the front emblem and I put about 6 to 7 coats of paint on the emblem. I did one of each direction top to bottom bottom to top left to right right to left and then I went all around the edge of it. For the back emblem I had to tape off a lot more but even when I did get plasty dip in the middle of the G on the GMC I was able to put my finger in it and pull it right off the truck.I would also suggest if you did how I did and you want to keep the chrome cut out the inside of the GMC emblem that you want to keep black and so that when you peel the plasty dip off the chrome it comes off a lot easier and doesn’t try to pull up any of the GM I would also suggest if you did how I did and you want to keep the chrome cut out the inside of the GMC emblem that you want to keep black and so that when you peel the plasty dip off the chrome it comes off a lot easier and doesn’t try to pull up any of the parts you want to cover. I also used a bumper and trim for the rest of my grill and it looks amazing everything blended together very well. I have other friends wanting me to go and do their emblems now this stuff is amazing and I’ll just have to see how long it lasts.
Really cool tool.Smells like latex when spraying and the smell goes away in 30 hours or so.Comes out opaque if you do too many coats.Seems to hold just as well to the surface if you have two light coats as if you had 5 heavy coats.It is a pretty tacky material. so be careful when removing any painter’s tape that you use around this, because it could peel away part of your project’s finish with it. The edges of where you spray are the weak spot.Highly recommmend.
This is for the Plasti Dip Clear. This is not like the clear glossifier they also sell, this clear leaves a matte finish. My 2006 Toyota Tundra came with chrome caps on the side mirrors, which I never liked. I saw a couple of videos that showed covering chrome with this clear makes it turn to a "brushed" silver, so decided to give it a shot. It's also supposed to give glossy surfaces a matte finish and have seen nice results online of that. My first issue was finding it, since it's not one of the common cans available in brick and mortar stores. Got it here with Prime, although it takes 4-5 days to receive instead of 2 but arrived on time and in good shape.I've used plasti dip before, spraying 6 or so coats to make it both more durable and easier to remove, but with this clear I only put on 3-4 coats as it was enough to get the results I wanted. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite if I have to take it off. I also noticed this clear has a thinner viscosity than the black, etc I've used and it's much easier to shake up and comes out seemingly faster. With any plasti dip, or paint, keeping it in a bucket of warm water makes it spray much finer and stops the splotches. It went on very easy, waiting about 10 minutes between coats, and dries really fast. My truck is silver and I was pretty happy with how it came out, almost matching the color.So if you're looking for a semi-temporary way to turn your chrome into silver, or make a shiny car matte, this stuff works well and anyone can get decent results using it.
Product is excellent comes out.Really good on my car.
Had some old a/c wiring that had lost the outer coating over time. Product covered it very well.
I've sprayed roughly 6 sets of wheels with this stuff and it always turns out great. It's simple to use difficult to mess it up. It's so much easier than paint to touch up. My daughter like to curb her wheels ALOT ! I bought this round to spray her replacement hood until she can get the car painted. Apparently she likes to tailgate also !
Plastic dip is the best !!!
I love this stuff for coating wheels. 2 cans will do 4 wheels. Great coverage and dries quick between coats. If using on wheels it does slightly start to fade brown. Not very noticeable though. I'll would but again.
Good just runs out very quick
Plastidip works pretty well, just make sure you follow the directions for applying it otherwise you will be reapplying.
Great pant works on any thing
I blacked out the emblems on my jeep wrangler (after watching one YouTube video) product is a 10/10 you only need one bottle though. Thin coats and come out every hour or so to do the next layer!
The color is what I expected (black). Looks awesome. Haven't had it on long enough to speak on the durability, but it seems like it will hold up. Use outside, as the smell can be a bit much.
Works as described, matte black.
Worked great, sticks to my wheels no issue
