I hate that stuff. I used it on my bumper and a piece peeled off the next day so i had to rip it all off cause i couldnt cover it. You can usually get this stuff at industrial plastic places

The layers were so thin, many areas were left with such thin layer of plasti dip the original paint is visible. Secondly, it is not durable it just comes off even coming in contact with naked hands or jeans.

So guys, save yourself from the hassle, do not get it dipped from these people. They are not well trained professionals for this job. They do it in their home garage with plasti dip spray cans. They dont have the equipment to actually spray it even.

If you would like more information contact me.
You don't need to bump every thread on revscene with the keyword plastidip.

What a waste of forum space.

Be careful if you're spraying your motorcycle. Some panels get really hot and peel.
