Plasti dip .. Is the s#####

Post by AE86silverred »

Ok guys at the cup cake meet there was a gtr painted with the plasti dip paint. Its a rubber coating that you just apply to any wheel car or whatever .. So if one weekend you want to paint your car green
.. You can and when your done rub it simihard and it will start pilling off.. Now
It wont last for years but cool for a while .. Im just playing with it and will post a review on it .. But here's sOme pics for now ...

Are we talking about the same stuff you dip your tool handles into for the rubber coating? How in the world do you get that stuff through a spray gun nozzle? What are you thinning it with?

It comes in a spray can ... But you can buy it in gallons too ..
They had only black at lOws .. But here's a vid of them spraying it with what looks like a house paint gun..

I swear it looked like he was just using a Wagner Power Painter Sprayer for home use.

I just can't get past the fact that my whole car is now a giant rubber ball. The texture is what gets me, other then that it works alright.

We did it with the spraycans, I forget how many it took exactly but it was less than I would have thought.
