plasti-dip paint

i have recently found, plasti dip spray paint. if you have never heard of it, you may cry "snake oil", or if you have, feel free to show some pics.

i took the chance at painting my hood scoop on my s197 gt/cs. as i already have some flat black accents, factory or done by previous owner, i kinda wanted to change it up a bit.

so, i brought home my spray bomb, and with a couple cans of liquid courage, i took it off, wax and grease remover was applied, and went to town.

now, some might say, "what if you don't like it?" well, you can peel it off, without affecting the paint underneath. Snake oil? i think not.

i finished painting, and it looked a bit striped, as i have encountered this painting my shelby spoiler, which i had sent in, and done professionally last year. but as it cured, it pulled together, and came out with a foctory looking finish, even , and looked like the scoop was molded flat black plastic.

then, i noticed in my haste, i forgot to wet down my floor, and got a big dust particle in it. after 2 hours of cussing, i began to peel. it came off in almost one peice, and left no residue on the shiney paint underneath.

it's a rubber, that dries kinda hard, smooth, yet stays flexible, and with some work to get it started, will peel off like it was wrapped.

guys are doing whole cars in it, wheels, emblems, interior accents, you name it. check it out on google.

anyways, i have a series of pics i will throw in this thread shortly. just needed to type this out before i forget.


cheers,

jeff

I've heard of that stuff before. Awesome stuff! I wonder how it holds up long term? But who cares I guess, your just one coat away from perfect!
