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 :)

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.

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 :(

if you fancy a drive down to the gold coast, autobarn at bundal have the matte black in cans (30ish a can), they said there getting more colours soon hopefully, i just sprayed my drifteks with it and am in the process of peeling back the lip to give it a nice shiny machined dish/lip ;) 2 cans was more then enough to do 3-4 coats on each rim

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well
