SURFACE PREPARATION:
MIX WELL BEFORE USE.
All surfaces to be coated must be free of all oils, grease, dirt, wax and loose rust. A sandblasted or rough surface
improves adhesion. Use PLASTI DIP PRIMER on all metals for best results.

PLASTI DIP can also be applied to:
Wood: seals and protects from weathering and prevents splinters.
Metal: reduces vibration, deadens sound, prevents corrosion, insulates electrically and
from extreme temperatures.
Glass: shatterproofs glass objects (available in clear).
Rope/Fabrics: weatherproofs, prevents rotting and fraying.
Plastics: protects delicate surfac es from scratches.
Rubber: weatherproofs, wear resistant.
Maps: weatherproofs, tear resistant (available in clear).

I doit by hand...
I re-did my grill with plasti dip like I said I was going to do. The only problem I seem to have was after some time the can would spray gobs, or it would build up on the tip and as I was sweeping from one side to the other gobs would shoot and land on the grill...
I'll prolly get another fresh can and do another 2 coats for even spray. Also make sure you sand really well, I should have spent more time on the prep work to get all the rock chips out rather than spray over them...
I have to admit I like the finish, as well you only really notice any blemishes when up close...
Heres a few pics...

During (after cleaning with Alcohol)
