MFC05 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Anyone heard or used Plasti Dip products yet? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/427619-plasti-dip-products/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Is is good stuff, but is STUPIDLY expensive in Aus due to shipping issues as it is so flammable/dangerous (has to be shipped internally within Aus by truck - cannot go on a plane). Once this stuff is released (updates are that it will be VERY soon), I am going to do my wheels and front grille this this : http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ebc-liquid-wrap-paint-vinyl-have-a-love-child Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/427619-plasti-dip-products/#findComment-6904790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murry33 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yeah plasti-dip is great, you just need to spray enough layers on whatever you are dipping. I used it on my R34 interior and it matched up great to the plastic surrounds Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/427619-plasti-dip-products/#findComment-6904825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triggs Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I have used some. Its pretty good. Used it on my wheels and grill. Hasn't faded in 4 months since applying. Just make sure you spray enough on that it can be peeled off easy.

n15m0 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 If you are in Brisbane, there is currently another craze called rubber ink... similar to plasti dip but much cheaper. https://www.facebook.com/RubberInkedRides?ref=br_tf Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/427619-plasti-dip-products/#findComment-6905731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadnought Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 All positive developments! Like this idea more than full vinyl wrapping, which looks like a nightmare on compound curves and joins. Have seen Plasti-dip used on friends badges, grills and wheels with great success. 2 key points we've found: 1: make sure you warm the can before and in between coats for a smoother consistency and finish (hot water in a bucket works well) 2: as Triggs mentioned, many coats = longer finish life and easier removal. Mayo_85 should be here any second, hes got some practical experience with Plasti-dip and similar on the V.

Mayo_85 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thanks for the into Dreadnaught. I have used Plasti dip on my roof and wheels with a good deal of success. And if your after a new but temporary look I highly recommend it. Cost is a bit pricey, but Caswell on EBay have wheel kits (4 cans) for around $110 shipped. Am looking at the Blaze green for my next wheel colour Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/427619-plasti-dip-products/#findComment-6906028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayo_85 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Here are some photos attached (from a recent Melbourne cruise) to show the work on the roof and wheels.

Nightcrawler Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 No idea mate. Last I heard he was having shipping issues getting it into the country or something like that. Maybe join his FB page to get updates? I was going to buy a kit to do my whole car, as the prices in the pre-buy were insanely cheap - but then the pre-buy ran out before I got around to buying it. Hopefully his retail prices aren't too much above - it makes a $500 'respray' in a different colour every year VERY appealing Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/427619-plasti-dip-products/#findComment-6913118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
