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

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
