I have used it before and luv it. I did the grill on my g35 and it came out great! I must say it sprays on kinds scary looks like lots of orange peel. But the stuff smooths out within 5 minutes and dries in 15. I guess the real test will be trying to peel it off which i havent tried.

Lucky Americans... for some odd reason the Home Deeps in Canada doesn't stock it...

Similarily with the Thermwell FrostKing Duct insulation that everyone's using to sound proof their car.
We don't get these in Canada.

....all we got are GT-fours

^ America can keep its stupid Plasti-Dip and everything else, I'll take me a GT-4.

Having said that, I'll be doing me emblems soon.

Thinking about doing the whole top of the cellie with plastidip...I have 2 1/2 cans left...need to find some use for it.

That'll make the car match the riser blocks, and I can spray the skirts to with it...might pose interesting.

Since I don't feel like turning a wrench this weekend, I believe my finger can do the workout.

I'm curious, can you get it in the color you want? Like make it the same color as you car with the color code?

[SupraKid]

Yes I'll be doing my rims sometime as well with this stuff. I did the window trim on the MK3 with it and it worked very well.

I wouldn't say you could color match identically, but they do have a "create your own color" kit. I bet you could get pretty close.

I really want to plastidip my wheels.
I've seen many videos on youtube, and it's a good stuff, but I have such question. Will it be any problem if I want the tyres on or off, or if I want to install/remove lug nuts?

Thanks

Have it on my wheels, looks and seems to be performing like a regular paint would. It actually isn't chip prone like the cheap rattlecan option, as it is slightly rubbery to touch. I havn't tried anything abrasive on them for that exact reason. They clean off easily though.

For tires on and off, just make sure when you paint it, you don't be a lazy arse and paint the wheel with it...otherwise the coats only go on the rim, which will stay with the rim.

Apparently Piston Ring carries it.
Home Depot where I am has it, but the home depots are only in small towns like brandon and selkirk and not winnipeg.
But they are like 20 bucks a can.
I've heard you can order them on amazon.ca for like 4 or 8 bucks a can.

I used it on my door handles also on the over spray it rubs off will post pic tomorrow

[jordisonjr]

duid you just mask arount the handles, and spray away?

I suppose I should update this thread.

I bought 2 cans to do my 4 ADR rims at home depot for around $6 a can. 2 cans was MORE than enough to do my ADRs, but they dont have much surface area. I was able to do 3 coats on each rim with 2 cans and still have about a 1/4 of a can left. I also did my rear emblem with plasti-dip doing the exact thing shown in this video and it came out great. For prep all I did was clean the crap out of my rims and make sure they are 100% dry.

Old clean rim vs new plastic-dip:

After being completly dry and mounted:
