Captain Natro Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hey Guys, I was just watching a few clips on youtube and came accross a product called "Plasti dip". From what I can gather it goes on like spray paint but has the ability to be removed without damaging the paint underneath. At the moment I have a set of 18" chromies on my 33 (which look down right horrible, so as a quick fix i was thinking about spraying them black with this stuff, at least untill I can find a decent set of 4x114.3 rims). My question is: 1. What is the finish like on it? 2. How durable is it? 3. Will it actually be able to be removed without damaging the underlying chrome? Any general info regarding plasti dip would also be appreciated, Thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/381649-plasti-dip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadouken Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 1) the finish is Matt black with a slightly rough texture. 2) it can handle every day washing, rain all that. 3) yes it's so easy to remove its not even funny. It just peels off. When you use plastidip you have to do lights layers until it builds up over the surface. You cant just drench it haha. What else do you want to know? You can buy it at electrical stores seeing as it is used for electrical isolations. Will cost approx 20 bucks for a big can that has enough goo to cover a bonnet or roof or spoiler.

Captain Natro Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Searched for the last 3 days, cant find one can of the spray kind. Have tried every paint/auto store between ipswitch and toowoomba (well practically lol). Even the authorised dealers of it in Toowoomba only stock the liquid kind Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/381649-plasti-dip/#findComment-6091294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
