anyone ever used PlastyDip??

[boondocker163]

I want to plasty dip some parts and pieces on my sled. I just dont know how well it would stick/hold up. Im thinking like the spindles, windsheild, rear bumper (on the sides only)... I was just wondering if anybody has tried it and how it turned out. I know its probably not going to last a long time but i think would soon pretty cool. thanks in advance.

It bonds really well to stuff, but when rubbed on trees or limbs your gonna rub it off for sure. I have a couple things done in it and it seems to be pretty rigid as long as you apply it right. But I think you will end up looking like junk a few rides into the year….just my two cents, kind of like the water dipped stuff.

I tried it on my sled, tried the tunnel, side panels, bumpers, and springs. Needless to say before it even hit the snow it was rubbing off on the edges just from garage boondocking... IMO not worth the effort, I just peeled it off and wrapped the panels and tunnel with vinyl and powdercoated the rest.

Did side panels and top of tunnel in white. Painted tunnel sides black as I had white PAR tunnel-sides to put on.

For me it has held up really well, it's been in the trees a lot! Believe me.

Only downside so far is it has a rough surface so dirt sticks better. Mine is white so probably the worst to keep clean.

I have my truck wheels done with it. Has held up all winter and it is applied directly to chrome. The sharp edges are starting to show a little bit of shine through them as I take my truck into the automatic brush type car wash quite often. A little spray in the summer will fix them up. I would recommend trying it but it. It dries fast but takes a while to harden up. Covers very well too.

There are a TON of different qualities so here is my take (having been directly involved with the biggest manufacturer in the Pacific NW). The cold stuff you paint on by hand is garbage - DO NOT BOTHER, IT WILL NOT LAST! Now IF you take your parts to a COMPETENT applicator, you'll get great results with the heated INDUSTRIAL plastisol. I can recommend a few in the NW. The real key is using a good primer specific to plastisol and there is really only a handful available. Without it the system will fail.

Have FUN!
