Gauging interest on plasti dip

[stupidcar]

I can't get my brake dust that caked to my rims. If i dip it, will it peel off?

Subtle and not too loud =)

How much can do I need to paint my 16" rims

Finally, did my rear and front grille only. I sprayed it on the caked rims part and see how well will it stay, some sort like a test run. Did the key whole on my boot too. Persona badge too. :)
So this is my front.

This is the back.

Personally, I find the blackness now on my car added anger to my car, love it!

How much can do I need to paint my 16" rims

1 can per rims with 4 coats to be safe and easy to peel.

I though the thicker the coat the more easy to peel... Coz I try if the layer to thin abit hard for me to peel off

 

[stupidcar]

Thats why 3 coats or 4 coats. Just try it. Mostly common sense. Cannot peel, rub it off with wet cloth. Good luck

I have not uploaded my plastidip pictures. Here they are

1. Most recent dip. Emblem

2. Front bumper lip. I make it two tone.

Closer look: note there's a big stone chip on the paint. Arghhhhhh !!!

A friend of mine ask me to help him to Plastidip his Car's Remote. So, manage to find time after 1 week+ to do it for him.

Here are the results. We just wanted to dip one side and the button side we leave it. Actually thought of doing both sides at the end.
However, afraid of the risk of ruining the remote, that during spray, possibilities of dipped sprayed into the buttons is there.

So end up we just spray one side where the button is at the other side.

Take a look.

AFTER DIPPED

Before & After Dipped Comparisons

I did ask some pros on dipped before on whether it is okay to Plastidip a remote control of a car. Was not recommended since
we put it into our pocket and there are higher chance that the control will rub against other things in our pocket.

Not recommended for something we touch everyday or often. But then, that did not stop us to try to experiment.

So went on with it and those are the results.

Cons, it started to peel off after 2 days, reasons, could be due to dipping on one side. Will have another try out on my remote control
and test it myself to see how long it last or how to make sure it last but I doubt is easy for something we meddle with everyday.

Well, just have to try and error.

Long live Plasti DIP! and more colours in Malaysia please!

After meeting with Izso and the rest on Saturday, went home and do some stuffs and etcs.

Did this job at 2.30am in the morning. Well consider as Sunday Morning since it has passed 12am.

I had trouble removing the Rear Trunk Lid Cover, went to my mech and get him to sort it out
for me. After that, thanks to him I manage to remove it to do my project again.

So, this is the before photo.

[Izso]

Ah damn. So it's not recommended for stuff being grabbed a lot like steering wheels. I was gonna do that.

Well I actually dipped my sister's wira gear knob and the handbrake. The handbrake started to peel off but I think it was due to my brother's rough driving style. And he wears rings too. But the gear knob...erm I duno how to explain the surface of the dipped area becomes whitish but it didn't peel off. Sorry I dint take picture of it. I sprayed one more layer and topped with clear coat when it dried. Uhhh shiny...

You can try Izso, but then steering wheel is something we rub our hands against quite frequent. But then is all about try and error then we learn from each other. Will try out on my remote control and other items that I touch mostly. See how things goes.
