Re: plasti dipping colors

a little bit of clay bar will EASILY remove any overspray you may need to clean up

Re: plasti dipping colors

For stuff such as furniture, would plastidip really be the best solution? Just wondering out loud here, but if the surface of the object you are going to dip isn't completely smooth then you might have one hell of a time peeling it off anyways. And the surface of chairs and stuff get very very worn and i would be really concerned with the durability of some 200lb person wiggling their butts around on the chair in jeans, ripping off chunks of plastidip lol.

Re: plasti dipping colors

Even if the surface isnt completely smooth, the plasti-dip will bond very well if its coated thick and wont be a problem to peel off. As for the 200lbs person wiggling around in the chair, it also depends if the chair is mesh or wood/plastic. Mesh you obviously wouldnt plasti-dip, and even if it was wood or plastic, if its done right I doubt it would start peeling unless said 200lbs person had some crabs up its bunghole.

While we are on the topic of plastidip here is another method that just got brought up on vortex, truck bed liner. Slightly more permanent than plastidip however hahaha. But in total cost $400 for the whole car to be done

Re: plasti dipping colors

Its a cool idea for a cheap alternative too, but I dont like the "slightly more permanent" factor of it. Plus the prep work was the same crap thats involved in just getting a paint job. This is the beauty of PD. The prep work is minimal, its not permanent at all, and if properly applied, it goes on VERY smooth. the truck bed liner is all textured, and texture is a b!tch for attracting dirt on the car. Just ask me how I know having textured spots on white PD

Re: plasti dipping colors

^^ that's kind of cool for a beater. I'd drive it for a winter car, different color though. On a side note I saw an older jacked up ford in olds that was fully sprayed black bed liner. Awesome trail buggy IMO.

Not sure what you mean by that....

But i would totally run a car like that, even before i would do plastidip. The durability on that coating is astounding and if you were to do the entire car like that person did i think it actually looks pretty good. Of course it is a permanent change but i would still do it! Thinking about doing my winter bumper like that

Re: plasti dipping colors

Durabak makes smooth bed liner with no texture in it if you want a more permanent option http://www.durabakcompany.com . It i not available in Canada so a Sweetgrass run may be required. Make sure to get it with UV protection

As for the lawn furniture, my wife just redid ours with some flat bronze tremclad spray from Home Depot and it is like new. 3 cans did a glass top table and 3 meshchairs.

Jeep guys do that all the time. I actually plan to do that to the engine bay of the cabby when I finally swap motors.
BTW that A4 was done way better then the jetta. It actually looks really well done not half assed, but I would have left the rims alone.

When I was 4x4'ing growing up in BC we'd do that to our bush trucks with bedliner or rhinogaurd .. Tough as hell and wouldn't scratch or dent as easily either

This seems like it could be a good business to get into...

Re: plasti dipping colors

Bit of a crazy weekend, but here's a better front shot. So far the plastidip is holding up really well, was a little nervous on Glenmore with the construction but it took it like a champ. One of the mirrors ended up being a little light on the coating so I'll probably have to do them again. Good call on the clay bar, Patryk. Took all the overspray splatter right off, super easy.
