nicolasp1405 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ok, after seing alote of really nice pictures of plasti dip cars, i desided to try it on my bike, the good point is that it can be undo when wanted or if you are just not satisfied with the result. One of the other good point of the dip is that you dont need to take off the original paint!! I said that it can be took off when wanted but this thing is pretty good as it wont come out if not wanted. So here's my bike before... -first step was to take off all the stickers and to deeply wash the frame, so there is no more dirt, oil, sticker glue, etc -second step was the first coat, then second and third, allowing 20~30min between each of them.. (Second coat) (Third coat) Its told on the can to wait 4h so it dryes, but the best would be to make it rest for the night so that the dip really gets stong. So here's the final result, i'm pretty pleased with it (concidering i'm not a professionnal) Let me know what you think... If you have any question about plasti dip dont hesitate to ask.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Question: When you 'chip' the coating or scratch it, is there then a possibility of it starting to peel? It won't just chip locally like paint but could start looking like a weird sunburnt/peeling thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hmmm.. really, how durable this coating is? In my city good powder paint work costs cheaper than one 400ml can of this. And this powder paint is REALLY MEGA DURABLE and strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicolasp1405 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thats the point of using plasti dip, you DONT need to take off the original paint of your bikeQuestion: When you 'chip' the coating or scratch it, is there then a possibility of it starting to peel? It won't just chip locally like paint but could start looking like a weird sunburnt/peeling thing? Its pretty resistant to hits but only after a week i'll say. If you get a "chip" in the dip it will still stick but if you rubb your finger orver the hole continusly it will get bigger and bigger until you could be able take out the whole dip, thats the bad side... But the good point is that it can be repair! Here is a video showing how to https://www.dipyourcar.com/pages.php?pageid=37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sheehan Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Bump! Anyone else done this? Seems a fullproof and easy way to drastically improve the looks of a bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
