HOW-TO Plasti Dip, show your plasti dipped parts here!

[sleepyalero]

this is my first how-to i believe so bare with me lol...

alright well i found out this stuff in a previous thread and figured i give it a try, and i really like how it turned out and its very simple to do, you can paint your whole car with the stuff and it will peel right off! its pretty durable and ive seen some people that have had it on for years with no problems, and if something does happen... you can easily redo it.

anyway..... off to the how-to. this stuff comes in blue, red, black (looks more like a flat black once dry), clear, white, and yellow.

you can get this stuff at Home Depot, Ace hardware, Do it best, Harbor freight tools, menards, napa, true value, and a couple of other places, i got mine at home depot and it was $5.98 for a can of it and covers 10 feet.

the can looks like this..

http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad58/natesalero/15fa43c2-2091-421f-a480-937058c81a7b_300.jpg

whatever you plasti dip is totally up to you, just make sure you clean it first and make sure its dry. also there is no sanding involved! and if you dont like it you can just take it off and redo it with no hassle. from what i have read, it holds through car washes and all that so i dont think you will have problems.

1st step is to mask off the badge you want to paint.. you dont even have to remove the badge to paint it! i love this stuff lol.

http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad58/natesalero/16ff4560.jpg

leave a square around it, its okay if it gets on the paint around the badge, because it will come right off!

after you have done that, do two passes with the can, lightly spray the badge on one pass and lightly spray it with another pass, and let it sit for 5 mins. it should look like this with two passes.

http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad58/natesalero/e751a4ec.jpg

after 5 mins put a nice coat on the badge. and then wait 15 mins....

http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad58/natesalero/21081238.jpg

after 15 mins put a second coat on and let it sit for 1 hour. or longer if you want. and if you want to do a third coat you can do that to, just make sure you let it dry for an hour or more. once its complete it will look like this...

http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad58/natesalero/ccca188b.jpg

i forgot to take a picture of me pulling off the stuff on the paint, but i took a pic of the front badge, of me pulling it off around it. this is what it looks like after all the tape is removed on the bumper. notice it is on the paint. but i can pull it off and its perfect cut off all the way around the badge.

now make a notch in with what you think is safe, i just used my nail and was careful not to scratch the paint.

and you're done! very simple and i love it. now on to the next thing... i painted one of my rims that will be used in the winter and compared before and after... when i looked at it after it dried... it blew my mind! i was very impressed! i love the look of it. on to the pictures!

i think it looks amazing hahaha

also maybe this can be sticky'd and everyone can also post pics of there before and after plasti dip projects. :scpimp:

[spc2125]

i have have a feeling this is going to be real popular on this site now

[adam337]

pretty cool.. but a pressure washer will tear this shit right off

[mastershake]

i wonder how it would hold up over rust, hehe

also would it prevent rust if sprayed over bare metal?

[sleepyalero]

pretty cool.. but a pressure washer will tear this shit right off

well there is people who have had it no problems for over a year, and its simple dont use a power washer on it. it might and might not but idc to try.

hmmm good question... im not sure

[billytheman1188]

def gonna be doing my stock wheels black with this stuff....very simple to use and if i get sick of the black i just peel it off :)

[sleepyalero]

do itt! i wanna see some stock wheels done.

[Papa Rad17]

Doing my stock wheels is exsactly what I was thinking. And I deffinatly like the badges. I want to see how they'll look against a white car.

[sleepyalero]

try it out, it will look good for sure.

[billytheman1188]

Gonna pick this stuff up tomorrow and do my wheels on the weekend.....sleepy...how long does it take to dry?

[cavaliers60]

I'm doing this to my scoot once I get it back from the shop tomorrow! I was wondering what the wheels would look like if the rims had some yellow on them. :)

[sleepyalero]

an hour. or longer if you want to.

[sleepyalero]

post pics in this thread once you do it! cant wait to see a different color plasti dip.

[cavaliers60]

Will do!

[Papa Rad17]

I forgot to ask up there, did you have to take a knife around the badges or did it just peel right and leave just the badge dipped?

[03Sleepr]

I doubt it would look very good on stockers, would probably just make them look even smaller than they are...If I wasnt debadged I would plastidip them though

[Papa Rad17]

I doubt it would look very good on stockers, would probably just make them look even smaller than they are...If I wasnt debadged I would plastidip them though

there are pics of guys who have painted there stock rims black. they do look at little smaller but not to bad. for me they'll work till spring when I get some nice aftermarket ones

[sleepyalero]

I forgot to ask up there, did you have to take a knife around the badges or did it just peel right and leave just the badge dipped?

nope, it all makes an even cut off on the badge when you pull off the extra stuff around the badge and whats on your paint.

notice these three pictures, i just pulled it off with my hand and it cut evenly it self all the way around.

[Papa Rad17]

Hmm. That's sweet. I didn't know if you had left part out or something. I'm thinking when I do my stock rims I might try putting a red pinstripe around them. Maybe have them looking that much better w/o being perminate.

[wrestlingandrunning]

I wonder how this stuff would work/look like on our interior

[RisenequinoX]

Hmm my friend did this months ago to his Talon (painted whole car), looks pretty sweet and it really does stay on there!

Nice work sleepy!

[cavaliers60]

The only stuff I found around here is at NAPA, but it's a different brand and costs $12 a can...

http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Result.aspx?Ntt=plasti+dip&Ntk=Keyword&Nty=1&Dn=0&D=plasti+dip&Dk=1&Dp=3&N=0

[Papa Rad17]

I just had an idea... Is there any reason this wouldn't work on interior componets? They could even be painted then and just striped off back to normal whenever wanted right?

[cavaliers60]

I wish I would have done that.... :lol:

[Papa Rad17]

I wish I would have done that.... :lol:

Ya... Your interior disagreed with the paint quite a bit. You go over it again and try plastic dipping first and see what happens?

[cavaliers60]

I'm wondering if the plasti dip will help remove the old paint when I go to peel it off. haha


I'm not touching the interior anymore. haha

[sleepyalero]

Hmm my friend did this months ago to his Talon (painted whole car), looks pretty sweet and it really does stay on there!

Nice work sleepy!

thank you sir!

it didnt show me anything, is there a home depot around you?


idk how it would look on interior, try it? lol

papa rad, if you could pull that rim idea off that would be sweet.

[billytheman1188]

where in home depot did you get it? like what department? I tried the paint dept but the guy said they didnt have it.

[mrmike]

In Canada, apparently you can only get it at Home Hardware. It wasn't with the paint, it was in the tool section.

[foxsdaddy67]

wonder how the dash would look sprayed with it? lol

[Papa Rad17]

wonder how the dash would look sprayed with it? lol

When I get a free day I plan on taking it to my interior. It's going to be all red and black.

[cavaliers60]

We have a Lowes... I might stop in there and see if it's there.... The yellow isn't in spray can form... It's in a metal can that you dip the tools into (since that's what it's originally designed for).

[sleepyalero]

ahh that sucks cavs! maybe amazon or something will have it in spray form?

billy i found it at the paint section where you get paint for a house like for the walls and stuff.

[sleepyalero]

okay i just looked on amazon.com for plasti dip spray, these are the only colors they offer for anyone interested... black, red, and looks like clear.

heres the link.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_pg_2?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aplasti+dip&page=2&keywords=plasti+dip&ie=UTF8&qid=1319326070#/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=plasti+dip+spray&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aplasti+dip+spray

[spc2125]

So i found it at the home depot for about $6.
I love this stuff. you can literally not cover anything and just spray away. Then when your done just wipe it away.

All my badges on the back are off so i did the front.

Now im just trying different things so i did my door handle. I kinda like it but i dont know if i should do the whole thing or just the handle part.

always wanted to see what gas tank looked like but from far away it looks terrible and looks like a lady bug spot (yea i know i need to clean my tires, i just took off my summer rims)
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/294388_2577409639099_1370109359_2943176_129637502_ n.jpg

When i have time, (maybe tm) i will do my stock rims.
Anybody do the stock rims yet?

[sleepyalero]

nice work! i dont like the gas cap but thats just me. and i think i would stick to just to doing the actual handle on the door handle and not the whole thing. but to each his own! badge looks good though! glad to see someone else tried the stuff.

[kwhauck]

Yeah, the gas cap, you are just making it stand out even more!

[Papa Rad17]

Sweeet! I'm deffinatly doing door handles and badges. Maybe the gas cover... I'm thinking it might look better on the 4 door sence it will have the 2 handles on the side to help complemt it to. Also, what about the spoiler? Iv been wanting to see what it'd look like black for a long time.

[sleepyalero]

interesting idea about the spoiler..... try it out.

[cavaliers60]

Now don't go crazy with it, kids....

[billytheman1188]

i think people should go crazy with it so people later on will know what will look good and what will look bad so they dont waste time seeing if it will look good lol.

[03Sleepr]

I think if you daily your ho and like to keep the paint nice you could plasti-dip it for winter then remove it when all the grime washes off the road..

[Stain]

they just look small because the photo was taken vertically

[sleepyalero]

im not a fan of racing stripes on cars unless its on camaros lol ;) but not bad!

[Papa Rad17]

I'm thinking if they were just on the hood and more to the side (kinda like the new bumblebee stripes) it might look good on our cars. Those aren't to bad though... At all. Next weekend when I have some free time Im to go crazy with a can of this stuff. Be ready.

it don't look bad but i think it might look better if the outer lip that is up against the tire was left silver so that the tire and rim don't blend together

[03Sleepr]

white letters out would look better IMO, but then again maybe I'm just old school..

unpeel your door handles.....

my summer rims are like that so i wanted to see what it would look like with everything black. its growing on me everyday so i guess ill just keep it for the winter

[sleepyalero]

it doesnt look terrible, soon my car is gonna be blacked out for winter. because my old american racing wheels are all black now, and my 18' MSR's are NOT seeing snow. lol

[falloutboy]

wow you can buy PlastiDip since a couple month here in Germany, but guess what its 27,60$ plus shippin, cause they have no resellers.

Well seems like no winter protection for my car :(

That looked awesome. I plan on doing the door handles, spoiler, and badges, I also have a white and black theme. How long did the stock rims take? And how many cans?

[sleepyalero]

1 can will do 2 rims, atleast for me it did, so 2 cans to do all four rims. and depends on how quick you work... do all 4 at once. 2 hours to paint and wait to dry.

[sleepyalero]

im murdered out for the winter. :D

alright, got my can of plastic dip picked up today and plan on doing the door handles (just the handle its self) spoiler, and badges this weekend. the only thing I dont like about it is how it turns out as a flat black, so, I should be able to paint over it right? then I ever wanted to I would still be able to peel it off too right?

[adam337]

1. I'll do whatever the fuck I want to my car and you aren't the one tell tell me. 2 the kind I have is the actual plastic dip brand. 3 my question was not answered at all and I would greatly appeciate it if someone could help with that.

[adam337]

1. if you would have actually clicked the links i posted answering your question you would have seen that your question was answered and you wouldn't have to respond like a dick.
Hint: click the first or second link.

[Papa Rad17]

Sorry for snapping. Bad day. But I can't click them via iPod. I will check when I get home.

[sleepyalero]

peel it off for summer :p

i would but dont care to cause im not plasti dipping my tips because i have had the exhaust for over a year and it still looks like i just pulled it out of the box, and i plasti dipped my hood and it took 6 people and 5 hours to pull it all off haha.

plus i dont care to take the time to tape it off lol :) and not to worried about it.

[spc2125]

i plasti dipped my hood and it took 6 people and 5 hours to pull it all off haha.



how the eff did it take you 5 hrs?!?!?

i took off my stripes and it literally took me 7 seconds. It all peeled off together
I dont know how you did yours O_o

Dude where in Indy are you?
I was there this week and I swear I recognize that area?

I spent most of my time near Danville, Clinton and Terra Haute!

Looks awesome.

[Papa Rad17]

you're near terre haute? I go there litterally every weekend. just an hour from my house. we should meet up!

[Papa Rad17]

drivers side, just did the handle its self. pics arent great and I know, it needs cleaned. I think it looks good...

[sleepyalero]

idk it didnt want to come off in one piece, and im right by carmel.

[adam337]

needs white grand am mirrors.

[Mike The Canadian]

Unfortunatley no,

I was just there for training!
I live in Canada :canada:

I'm down there every now and then, I'll shoot you a message next time I come down!

[Papa Rad17]

pic from a bit of a distance, touched them up a bit to.

[spc2125]

get some tint on there man

[Papa Rad17]

I know. I gotta get the lowering spring and rims first though.

[sleepyalero]

The turn signal is no longer the amber part. The other thead is of pics of I rewired them.

oh okay i see what you did, so the inner lights are now the turn signals correct?

[Papa Rad17]

the inner light on the car mounted tail is, where the brake light used to be. the most inner (trunk mounted) is now the brake light. in a few of those other pics I have the turn signal on the drivers side on so you can see the difference.

[spc2125]

O_o .........

[Gr1m]

no offense but that tail is fugly with all that shit on it. im surprised people havent come to figure out that once you start going past a 2-3 color scheme on any car it starts to look dumb.

[Papa Rad17]

^I really like that... hows it holding up with the heat under the hood?

[rocketfast321]

The heat got rid of the bad spots :lol: It cured pretty well. I'm really happy over the ICM cover. I got to wait for summer to really how well it does in alabama heat.

I did make it a little thick on the quad 4 becuase of a "killerbuzz" and a "fourloco" But all i have to do it pull it off.

[spc2125]

i plasti dipped my stock rims and they lasted from november and still lasting....
AND it went through the harsh (not so harsh this year) new england weather

[sleepyalero]

yeah mines still holding up since i made this thread. it will last a long time without coming off.

[rfcrime]

best $5 I ever spent. why is everybody with cool aleros in the middle of the country? thats crazy northwest is where its at, no rust.

[sleepyalero]

yeah i wish i lived somewhere that was "rust free" but.. most other states are stiff about exhaust, no cat (dont have one), mods, tinted tails, and even in cali you cant have aftermarket parts shipped there. so its a 50/50 here in indiana, and they dont care about having spray hooked up in the car. plus the car stays in the garage all winter :)

[Papa Rad17]

if you put a clear coat on it it should hold up even better. my door handles dint last very long....

[sleepyalero]

what power manwhore? lol

zz: to each his own... the only thing on my car thats plasti dipped are emblems and winter rims. leaving the rims the way they are but im gonna take it all off the emblems once i get the car back. so once the 18s are on i wont have any of that on there until the winter when the junk tires are on.

[Mason]

was looking forward to doing this today only to go to the store and find out its $22 here.... time to look online

[sleepyalero]

dang! 22$ a can... thats ridiculousness.

[Papa Rad17]

was looking forward to doing this today only to go to the store and find out its $22 here.... time to look online

wow! is should only be like 8.

[Mason]

and if i were to buy plastidip online with shipping it would just be cheaper to pay the $22... could one can do all of my emblems plus the emblems on another car? my friend wants to do his emblems on his si so i couldjust split on a can

[Math-u]

Guy, sorry to bring up an older thread but just wanna let you know none of the store in Winnipeg(napa, Part source, Home depot, rona.....) dont carry Plasti dip. and i went on ebay and check the price.... $7 + $31 SHIPPING!! (o.0) Wtf. is there anyway i can get it a BIT cheaper???

hmm weird man, idk look online at plasti dip retailers around your area. like if you look up plasti dip there would be a site and you go to "where to get" and it will show you a list of stores, hopefully one will have it near you.

Why dont you have someone else buy it elsewhere and ship it to you? in a flat rate box?

[sleepyalero]

thats an idea

[Math-u]

After a numerous questions at local stores finally i found piston ring carry those and just over $15 buck a can(tax included) and i got 2(seems like a rip off..... still) just to do it up on my hood, trying to cover up the rust. i just touch it up and coated wit clear nail polish b4 i plastic dip it. this stuff looks and feels weird wit that of a large surface..idk. but ya.... call it a day :P

Gracias! I have to re-do the bumper in the spring and probably the wheels too. I was not doing thick enough coats so it got a little textured.

Doing my stock wheels is exsactly what I was thinking. And I deffinatly like the badges. I want to see how they'll look against a white car.

so, i just got around to seeing this thread, did you ever do your stock rims? i wanna kno how it turned out... i've got a white lero so i'm very eager to see what it looks like.... or do you kno of anyone that has done this to white lero with stockers????

I'm jealous ^^. Wish I had the coupe

[sleepyalero]

i like my 4 doh ;)

[kwhauck]

grandma.....

[03glgold]

I kinda agree with sleepy...I have test driven a coupe and find the interior a little more awkward, the biggest thing is that the door is too big

[03Sleepr]

I like coupes..sometimes I want one but the quarter panel is way to big and empty..I like 4 doors better most of the time..

[kwhauck]

i've owned both and since I have two other vehicles for the family, the coupe is way more sexy.

[kwhauck]

I like coupes..sometimes I want one but the quarter panel is way to big and empty..I like 4 doors better most of the time..

that's why there is a big olds sign on mine.......

well, grandpa. i agree doors are to big for my taste. lol

[Papa Rad17]

I prefer to have a 4 door but coupes look better. @B888 I like that shot, looks good!

[03glgold]

I prefer to have a 4 door but coupes look better. @B888 I like that shot, looks good!

have you driven a coupe yet, IMO it feels wierd

[sleepyalero]

i drove manwhores a few times, doesnt really "feel" any different. it sure did sound different though! :lol: :lol:

i cant give him any hate though, im happy hes held onto it this long.

[03glgold]

to me the setup feels slightly different...mainly in reference to the door, the door handle is farther back, the door arm rest is a little different...as far as ride quality and feel in that aspect I would agree it is the same

[sleepyalero]

i didnt really notice any of that lol

[DJx79x]

Only valid point I've seen here was that the coupe has bigger doors other than that its just been ppl trying to reason why whatever they have is better.

[sleepyalero]

i dont think a coupe is better then a 4 door and i dont think a 4 door is better then a coupe. if i had a coupe im sure id love it just as much, but i own a 4 door and never have thought about switching over to a coupe.

[03glgold]

I would like to fully build an ecotec at some point and that car will be a coupe partly because the coupe starts out 50 lbs lighter and it will have essentially one purpose which elliminates the benefit of rear doors,it also seems to me that it would possibly be a little easier to cage the coupe...If I got a good deal on a coupe I would get one but I would definately not go out of my way to find one as I genuinely do like the 4 doors better, it is more convenient when you have people with you and other stuff...I also think the interiors of the 4 doors look better, while I could agree that the coupe looks more sleek on the outside...For me the benefits of the 4 door outweigh anything for the coupe

[sleepyalero]

just do what i did, remove back seats, only two front seats are now useable. boom its a coupe and 4 door combined!

[03glgold]

nope...I actually have passengers a decent amount of the time, and would rather have the back seat...I don't want a coupe unless that is what best fits when I next buy one...I understand your reasoning because of drunk annoying people, but I have people ride in my car a decent amount of the time who aren't drunk or annoying

[sleepyalero]

i just hate having 4 people in the car especially smokers, worried about the back getting burnt up lol

[03glgold]

I don't have many friends that smoke and anybody who has ridden with me that does smoke has enough respect to not smoke in my car

[simonclay]

I got a can of Plasti Dip yesterday. So today I went out and blacked out my emblems. Its not perfect but I'm happy with it for now.

I like them, better contrast, see it from all angles....especially on the white background. Normally I like stock-style emblems and variations, but those look good.
