    Default Plasti dip

    Guys just to let you know I supply PLASTI DIP sprays at Autobarn Noarlunga, $29.99 a can. We have 9 types.
    I'll be trying it on my MPS in the next few weeks if you are interested in seeing some results.

    I have Sundays off, colours are Black, White, Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Orange, grey and gloss coat.
    Will be getting purple and green soon too :-)
    I've got a "demo" black can to try tomorrow so will be spraying the front middle part where the badge is, the rear lip and badges...
    That should be enough "testing" lol

    Smells like squashed bull ants but very easy to use, very happy with the result!

    Yeah on anything! Badges on the back look good in it too from what i've seen.

    This stuff isn't paint to those keen on the look. It's spray on rubber. So it won't be easy to clean, especially with the likes of a micro fibre cloth. I use a tyre shine to give it its deep black look after it dulls of a bit.

    Biggest positive, 99% reversible.

    Prime Electronics Bowen Hills, Brisbane has the whole range. But i think this is a SA thread?

    Mark. Want to put the gloss on it and see how it turns out?

    I think I will be down to get some black for my wheels.

    Can you explain 99% reversible? Can this stuff be removed after a few years? Does it require thinners for removal?

    from what i've seen it's removeable simply by peeling it off, no thinners required, but maybe steady work with a scalpal blade to get you started?

    +1 to see what the gloss looks like

    I might write a can of gloss off to see how it looks :-) I like the mat look on the grill though.
    This product will come off easily if you want it to, it would only be hard to get of if you couldn't get to it easily like inside the Mazda logo on the grill.
    Worst case it might take some wax and grease remover on a cotton bud.

    i watched a youtube video of someone using the gloss can, took him about 5 coats of the stuff to get a decent gloss going... how many cans would it take to do a set of rims? i'd imagine at least 2 cans for the colour and maybe 3 more cans of the gloss if you want a high gloss...

    To get decent coats and coverage you'll need at least 4 cans of colour for matte. But seein you want gloss I assume it holds just like matte so 2 coats of colour and 2-3 coats of gloss.

    3-4 for colour I'm told, if it's anything like gloss paint you will get a faster gloss finish and use less with couple heavy coats.

    I want to test and support the product by trying it on my wheels.
    I want it to make a bit of a statement with out it looking terrible or way over the top.
    My decision is what colour Plasti Dip should I go to suit my silver car.
    Black or White wont make a Plasti Dip statement so they are out.

    My choices are:
    Red
    Blue
    Orange (as in pic below)
    Green
    Yellow
    Pink

    Pink but thats me! Definitely making statement. Autobarn didn't have any so went with Blaze blue.
