I'm looking at dipping my enkies and was wanting some input on your experience.

ive plastidipped my mirrors and part of my front bumper. so far it has held against rain and shine and road trip abuse, came out solid too. before spraying i let the can sit in some warm water to warm it up before spraying. helps reduce the cloggy buildup on the nozzle as well as giving you a smooth even spray (the plastic part of the plastidip tends to want to clump more so than normal spray paint)

"plastI dip"

And it's really easy to use. Honestly. As long as you clean the surface with whatever you normally use to clean your wheels, you'll be fine. If you see a spot you don't like, you can just peel it off and re-do it. Plasti Dip is awesome.

If you got to Plastidip.com on the top tabs there is a distributor finder. There you will find a list of stores that sell the product.

Check Home Depot or your local home improvement shop. They will sell pre-thinned spray cans and un-thinned plastidip cans. The Spray can is real easy to use, might need to check DipYourCar.com to get other colors.

Here's my grill I Dipped:

Check DipYourCar's youtube channel for tutorials and such.

lowes and home depot have it, just check the availability through the site or calling beforehand just in case. during winter break, home depot said they were consistently sold out cause people kept buying it up, and lowes had some at only a few stores

Plastidip is greeeeeeat! I use it for everything. This spring I'm planing on doing my whole car.

the key to plastidip, like any painting, is the prep work. You have to make sure there is no leftover wax/dust/grease. If i'm plastidipping a body panel, I use a combination of regular car wash liquid and dish soap. The dish soap removes any wax that's left on the car.

Performance is built, not bought.

08versailles: i've always liked the cube too. since you can't normally get factory alloys with a manual on the cube, i should get one and throw on my 17s from Drew

iluvmyversa08: I have loved the Cube since the day it arrived here! ... but I needed a car for school & the Cube wasn't out yet so that's why I got the Versa. Otherwise I definitely would have purchased the Cube Jun 17, 2013 20:38:48 GMT -5
