Dunno if I'd spray it on a performance exhaust tip. Plasti-dip burns like hot fuse. Peel some off and light it up to see what happens.

It is some what flammable..... lol. I use plastidip on my tools like my Porter Cable 7424XP, spray a nice thick coating over the encasing to protect it from dirt and scratches. Keeping it looking new for longer periods of time during heavy usage. Works so far, the only problem is that it gets more scuffed in my bag during storage, than during actual usage. Lol but that was what it was originally intended for, tool use. |

First time using Plasti Dip and I think the results came out great. My thanks to all that contributed to this thread I picked up lots of tips.

Thought i would put an update out. These are my rims, dipped on 11/23/12 just hit them with the DIY car wash pressure gun and scrubbed them good with the foam brush, not a peel, scratch or lift anywhere since they were sprayed pretty happy with how they turned out. I was worried the light colors like white, green, yellow, etc. would darken but so far they are just as bright.
for reference here they are on day 1: and today: Driver side front: Passenger side front |

posting in the Nexus 7 thread in the Audio sub forum. Had to order a new Japanese Double DIN face, and Plasti-Dipped it. Love it and the texture.

Do it you won't regret it. They look better than my crappy cell phone pics show, and the texture is even better for gripping.
As far as taking the door panels apart they're pretty straight forward, I used these instructions: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1891166 Then taking the door handle assembly apart is simple; 2 screws, a punch pin, and unloading a spring (be sure to wear shop gloves the spring is loaded in the handle). LMK if you need help or have questions. |

Jesus these threads are so old 4 coats on the wheels 2 cans max. You guys own subarus that you spend a ridiculous amount of money yet 20$ seems absurd somehow?

Considering the fact that im 18 and a college student and i pay for everything for the car myself, i try to spend the least amount i can on doing stuff to the car. And yes 25 bucks a can for something that may not work is a lot in my opinion, considering i would need 2 - 3 cans.

It was originally made for non-automotive related lol. I dipped and sprayed my tools to protect or give it a better grip where I need it. Especially for delicate procedures like paint correction.
