Well, I just used it for the first time. I did a belt line fill on a cheap Ikea cart that I'm going to use for tools.

Here's how the shelves came:

I welded in dividers and hit it with Plasti Dip:

It's hard to tell, but I also repainted the gray cart a slightly different shade of gray:

Part of the reason I tried it is that I'm thinking about maybe using it on my race car.

what you gonna use it for on the car jack? i can see it being a great sound deadener, but race cars dont need that....of course i prefer derby cars lol...
you've peaked my curiosity once again jack.

I like it!

I did the handles on my Kennedy machinist box. The chrome was badly deteriorated and I wanted something that would stay on to the surface which still had half the chrome holding fast. It has a nice feel to it now too.

wheels and hood stripe done. fyi i only did this on the hood because i screwed up the center most raised section with dry spray. i think it kinda looks cool though, and it was easy enough. took me less than 30 minutes to tape off and finish spraying. i also sprayed every chromed logo on the car besides the bumper inserts. i like the stuff.

Can someone post a pic of the can of Plasti Dip. I am picturing in my head, the red dip stuff that you do pliers handles, and can get at ACE. I want to do all my pliers in Orange, but I cant find it...
Am I thinking of something different? I didn't know they made a spray.
Thanks.

I would use it for the exterior -- only because it's cheap and then easy to remove. The race car has all fiberglass body panels and they get more white-on-black stone chips with every lap. I've re-painted the car three times, now. And it's due for another paint job.

I doubt I'll go with Plasti Dip in the end. But it's something I've thought about, strictly as an easy to touch-up alternative to expensive paint jobs.

Here's a new Camaro that's been sprayed with the stuff.

I've never seen the spray on type. Plasti-dip is pretty thick, how was the application process? How about dry time?

 

[mustanginky]

the spray on goes just fine. for what i did on my hood i had to to it all in one heavy coat. if not where i had taped off would have stuck as well and pulled the rest of it off. i had to pull it off wet.

on the wheels, i did multiple coats until i was satisfied. smaller coats and worked my way up.

Plasti Dip

That's what I was thinking. I thought I was gonna click on this thread and see pictures of pliers with new vinyl on their handles.

 

[Ray-CA]

I did 8 coats, 30 minutes apart. Waited 30 minutes after the last coat before pulling the masking off. About 95% of the over-spray etc. came up. Then about 10 minutes with a toothpick to clean up in the tight spaces, inside the letters (A) for example and done.

My buddy's done his MB several times now. Peels it off and changes colors whenever he wants. He shoots it through a paint gun. There is a whole forum dedicated to this stuff...EDIT: here it is...http://www.dipyourcar.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?1-Dipping-Forums
