Thread: Plasti Dip

Well the plasti dip held up brilliantly!! Super impressed and no scratches. If I did it again I would apply another coat for ease of removal!

My fellow travellers with me wish they had done theirs!

Cheers

My old series may look different after its 32 years of bush work if I had of used this

Yes I had the same opinion of the "Road Warrior" coating.
Others in our group wish they had it on too!

As for taking either off they do recommend that a minimum of two coats is applied.
A Gernie or Karcher makes removal easier.

So my impression is that either is good, Plastidip is more expensive but you can leave it on indefinitely.It wont be affected by water either.
Road Warrior is cheap - $60 incl del will give you enough to do your car 2 coats twice.

Overall it's probably 1/4 the cost of plastidip.
Yes it will go milky when wet, and be more susceptible to peeling when wet but will again dry clear and textured when dry.
Road Warrior is great as a shorter term solution.
If you go bush very often then Plastidip is the way to go.

After this posting I researched Plastidip myself, looks like there are businesses that make a living out of doing whole cars. Being it fluoro colours or matt black as examples.

Get Dipped

I'm impressed with the reviews, I'm going to spray my 19" road wheels Matt Black - for $120.

Peel it off when I'm bored with it back to standard.

This is the Road Warrior applied:

I ended up doing my wheels in Matt black, looked good until............I wash and cleaned the vehicle which was all good, then sprayed the tyres with some wet shine, plasti dip does not like this product, ended up removing all the plasti dip

Like a condom for cars.
Hey there's an idea...spray on condoms!

Great idea ..................................... until you need to use a Gerni Gun to get it off.

Yes I did need to use the gerni to remove some of the areas where the application was to thin. The thicker areas peel right off. My wheels peeled off no problems as I got 4 coats on

No problems with using a gerni to get it off the car - I often wash my Disco with a gerni.

Comment above was referring to using a gerni to remove a "spray on condom". Not something I'd be keen on trying.

It stings enough when I accidentally shoot myself in the foot with the water blast.
