Type of Plasti Dip??

I'm going to attempt to Plasti Dip my front grill ( I'm the most unhandy person). Are there different types of Plasti Dip, and if so what kind do I use for my grill?
If you can provide me with a link to eBay or product description would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the help

there is only one kind of PlastiDip, made by the company Performix, and it comes in black or clear, and you can find the black one at home depot or lowes or ace hardware, etc for about $5 /can

Here you go, the black spray can on the left is what you'll use, like GXXXV X mentioned, about 5-6 bucks @ Home Depot. Make sure you shake the can a lot between your sprays and clear the nozzle (holding the can upside down and spraying a couple seconds) between every coat. Once the nozzle gets sticky it can really clog up and barely spray which will leave a splotchy spattered look. I'd get an extra can just in case you run into that.

And also comes in a color kit, and a bunch of different can sizes along with the spray.

OP, you want the black that comes in a spray, it'll look like pic #5 here.

Im pretty sure the color kit is just dyes that you mix with the clear... and I don't think its sprayable...

The color kit is a set of pigments to be used with the dip style, for dipping hand tool handles

Good to know. I guess that changed recently. Last time i communicated with Performix, the dyed kit came with white PD.

The clear is something i could never get information from them on, or where to get small kits.

Edit: I guess i was mis-informed/misunderstood. It is clear, but my idea of clear would be completely transparent. Because it's rubbery, it is a little cloudy (to me, white). Sorry folks.
