Hey Guys, I was just watching a few clips on youtube and came accross a product called "Plasti dip".

From what I can gather it goes on like spray paint but has the ability to be removed without damaging the paint underneath.

At the moment I have a set of 18" chromies on my 33 (which look down right horrible, so as a quick fix i was thinking about spraying them black with this stuff, at least untill I can find a decent set of 4x114.3 rims).

My question is:

1. What is the finish like on it?

2. How durable is it?

3. Will it actually be able to be removed without damaging the underlying chrome?

Any general info regarding plasti dip would also be appreciated, Thanks :)

1) the finish is Matt black with a slightly rough texture.

2) it can handle every day washing, rain all that.

3) yes it's so easy to remove its not even funny. It just peels off.

When you use plastidip you have to do lights layers until it builds up over the surface. You cant just drench it haha.

What else do you want to know? You can buy it at electrical stores seeing as it is used for electrical isolations. Will cost approx 20 bucks for a big can that has enough goo to cover a bonnet or roof or spoiler.

Searched for the last 3 days, cant find one can of the spray kind. Have tried every paint/auto store between ipswitch and toowoomba (well practically lol). Even the authorised dealers of it in Toowoomba only stock the liquid kind :(

if you fancy a drive down to the gold coast, autobarn at bundal have the matte black in cans (30ish a can), they said there getting more colours soon hopefully, i just sprayed my drifteks with it and am in the process of peeling back the lip to give it a nice shiny machined dish/lip ;) 2 cans was more then enough to do 3-4 coats on each rim

    • I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet
    • What will you do when the Minister of War and Finance says the intake noises are too loud?
    • Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.
    • No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.
    • I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
