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 :

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.

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 :)

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 :)

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
