I love PLASTI DIP. what a great tool for designing ideas and if they don't look right you just peel it away. what are some of the uses that you have used PLASTI DIP on? here a a few on mine. Some have since been swithed over to actuall paint though because the PLASTI DIP worked out as I hoped it would and needed the durability of paint. But without the PLASTI DIP I would have NEVER done it with paint first.
Yes the aluminum plenum ( side not it doesn't stick real well to the coating they used on it )
SMS inspired white Plasti dip'd insert, with LED Reverse lights; and suprised that it still illuminates at night. Clear reverse lens blend in with white very well, no problems backin at night especially with LEDs. Its been on for bout 1yr and a half with no problems. :grin2:
you can't peel Krylon off and start over if you screw it up...with plasti-dip you can. They both have their plusses and minuses. More plusses for dip though for automotive applications in my opinion
See that is where I doubt the value of this stuff. Why paint a high exposure area like the exterior with this stuff? Won't it peel away under normal daily use?
Oh for crying out loud. It was not my intention to berate or be condescending to you. That you took it that way however, is not my issue.
I simply suggested that you try a product before you offer up opinions regarding it's value. You have never tried the product so you have no experience with it and you have an apparant bias toward Krylon so your opinion (either good or bad) on plasti-dip is without merit.
Your kindness continues. It shows your arrogance and lack of humility. I feel sorry for your family or anyone that you work with.
I don't recall ever mentioning that I did or did not try the product in question. It may be great stuff. I just wondered how a product touted as being non permanent can be durable. Your defense of it shows a far greater bias than my reference of Krylon. Do you have a vested interest in this products success? Are your future retirement goals based on the stock value of this stuff?
Commenting negatively when someone questions the integrity of a product shows that you don't like it when someone disagrees with you. Guess what? Not all people think or feel the same way. I do not work for you and I am not one of your children. I don't have to share your opinion.
Riiiiight...Ok I thought we were discussing the merits of plasti-dip :scratchhead:. However , you seem to be on a completely different tangent that I won't try to figure out or further address. Carry on, take care and have a good week
well that's what I was hoping.. last time I painted a grill with Krylon it chipped and looked like general crap in a few months. the promise of Plasti-Dip being what it is has led me to dip my grill surround hoping for a more durable, less rock chipping finish that if I decide I don't like it I can peel it off. what I understand it can be "peeled off' but if applied correctly won't just peel off on it's own.
Lets not start a fight please, we are a family........
i have great reviews about plasti dip, i have done wheels, grills, spoilers, tail lights, side markers and alot of interior stuff...
I have used the power wash at the car washes many many times and drove it in winter too, and this product just doesnt peel off...i am very surprised.....when i use plasti dip i do start small coats so it can stick real good to the wheels ect....it helps alot....
I've used the stuff and it is great for temporary use. Especially if you are figuring out if you want to paint something or if you change your mind every couple months. However, when I had them on my truck wheels they wouldn't do well against chipping and you're constantly recoating. I think the stuff is great, as long as your expectations are realistic for what it is.
Also, some people on the internet just enjoy making other angry. Just ignore and stop feeding the trolls.
As of yet there's no bright, reflective plastidip finishes. There are some metallic finishes, but nothing like chrome. You'd have to use vinyl or something along those lines.
