hansje1980 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Anybody ever heard of PLASTI DIP ?If not, check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FchIWF8Vi2Y or http://kkautodip.com/ but there are many other shops in thailand who sell them too.end result after 2 hours:Yes I know, weird color neon green, but as was bored today, got some plasti dip and figured it would be nice to try it out (as I love gadgets and such.)Should last at least (if applied properly) for a few years.Anyways, thought if some of you folks wanna change the color of your car (or parts of it), you can now safely try it out with plasti dip, it's like fast drying liquid rubber spray cheers ps. click pic for bigger view and sorry for quality of my phonecamera lol, will add better one tmr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

culicine Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I've seen it here used in small amounts, on wheels such as in the pic. And how many baht is one can of the stuff? Utube vids say you need 4 cans or so to do a set of wheels. Just wonder about the longevity of the stuff and if it's scratch resistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefan Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I find it quite cool. Especially if ones rims are well worn out anyway and the alternative would be new ones. That said I guess one could also just use normal paint? What is the actual difference? As for color - one does not have to pick screaming pink - but to each their own! Cheers!

WarpSpeed Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hey ****Flame removed****, I did not ask for opinions... Only wanted to share this product with the car community here. Guess I found out now where not to share tips anymore It has it's uses but I don't think this is one of them IMO, but to each his own.

In Thailand it's very inexpensive to have your rims reconditioned and it looks as good as new for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salapoo Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 That said I guess one could also just use normal paint? What is the actual difference? Believe that this is a lot easier. And can also be removed a lot easier should you wake up in a few days and realize you've done your rims in green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge you can't powder coat aluminium as it's not magnetic. Powder coating charges the metal first and uses electric charge to attract and hold the material..
