I've had some questions asked of me about Plasti Dip, everywhere from what the final finish looks like, how it peels and what happens to the painted surface after the PD is peeled off.

As i'm still waiting for Santa to stop by, he's over the Sandwich Islands as of this writing, according to NORAD, i figured i'd show y'all.

This is on my roof. I sprayed it 4 hours ago. While wet it resembles very bad orange peel, but as it dries it smoothens out to a nice matte finish.



Peeling it back. Take note, this is just one heavy coat.

All that said and shown, if you apply this properly one could theoretically use this as a roof overlay alternative.

 

to add some info... check this thread

i have done this to my car and it is very easy.
(car was dirty when i took this picture)

 

how do you think plasti dip would fare on stock rims?

 

A lot of people use this on their rims, which should be good for daily driving. I wouldn't try it on the track or very spirited brake use, however. I don't think PD is rated too high in terms of temp resistance.

Then again, per that link eV posted above, seems someone on the Lexus front PD'd their exhaust tips.

 

plasti dip on stock rims..its holding up great for me

 

^Very nicely done. Any sanding or prep? or did you just clean and spray? How long since you PD'd it?

 

^ don't sand and prep, that's the point of plastidip!

 

Someone else painted their stock wheels with plasti-dip. I don't think they did any sanding, here is the link

If you sand and prep it defeats the purpose of using plastidip, the point is you can peel it off and it's still mint.

 

wow, deff might try this on my rims, been looking to maybe powder coat but this may work if someone did there exhaust tips.

 

Does anyone have a thread about the peeling process of plastic dip, trying to bring back the original surface?

 

Arhtur, that's what this thread is about... lol

lakeshore, it will not stick to exhaust tips. Your exhaust gets hella hot, plastidip doesn't handle heat.

 

LOL my bad...

 

No sanding needed just cleaned the rims really well and sprayed on.. some spots wore of alil I think cuz of heat but I just sprayed them again.. good as new

 

im going to spray my roof tomorrow probably so i will post pictures.
