I just got done doing my interior trim with plasti-dip, and this stuff is awesome. I did light sanding with 150 grit sandpaper, a quick wash, and then sprayed 3 coats on, letting it dry in 30 minute intervals. It takes about 4 hours to cure I believe. Quick question, after it's cured, if I want to do a few more coats to get a thicker texture, that's okay, right?
I'll take pictures once it's all done.

I haven't done my interior yet, but i did some other plastic bits with this stuff, after a few coats i let them sit overnight, decided they needed another coat, it stuck just fine for me
| SA2USA | 12-15-2008 03:36 PM |
cool thing bout this stuff is when you get tired of it have your girlfriend or wife pull it off while on a round trip. that swhat i did this weekend.lol
now my interior looks stock again.

I painted my grille with this stuff a while back and it held up for over a year, lots of highway driving and winter driving with not peeling or anything. sanded it, primed with with krylon fuzion primer, and then spray plasti dipped it. Only reason i took the grille off was I sold the car.
This summer I painted my ski racks with it...this was almost a disaster. I sanded it all down and then layed down some Rustoleum primer and painted with plasti dip. Then while it was drying I was browsing the PlastiDip site when I saw you werent supposed to use Rustoleum primer. The adhesion was so bad it was peeling off by hand. so I peeled it all off, sanded down some more, and then used a no-name brand primer, then plasti-dipped it. Hopefully this holds up as good as the grille did. I plan on dipping the grille on my current car soon.

You're not suppose to use any primer with Plasti-Dip IIRC.

Great thread which promted me to get some Plasti-dip and try it out.
I`ve only done the radio surround so far, a light rub over with some vey fine wire wool, a wash and once dried I gave it several (5 or 6 can`t remember) coats of Plasti-dip.
Looks very OE and I`m vey impressed.
I`d love to do the steering wheel centre too, could someone tell me how to remove it?

Disconnect your battery, and there are some allen keys through holes on the sides of the airbag. 1 on each side I believe, undo and the airbag comes out.

No need to disconnect the battery. Just remove the two airbag fuses.
I have done this on my 02 STi on several occasions and have never had an 'accidental discharge'.

It works great. Put on a couple coats, however...and brush it on fast. Otherwise you're get stroke marks. You can also thin the rubber with naptha. I thinned mine with kerosene and it worked fine too since they both come from dinosaurs and old plants. :lol:

wanted to very quickly bump this to ask how well this does on dashboards - I got a beige dash and want to make it black.
Also, can it be mixed? I'd like to achieve a nearly OEM dark grey color on a few parts.

Also, how does the rubber hold up after deathly-hot sun exposure in the summertime and hot air from the dash vents? I think NOT GOOD for sunshine exposure.

You can mix the colors, yes. I believe you can add pigment to the clear or white plasti-dips.
They discuss it on their website I think. Maybe in the FAQ?
A few pages in to this thread someone painted a grey WRX dash black. Seemed to work well but no reports on durability, but I imagine with a sanding it would do OK.
If you want a grey dash, I have one w/ the airbags I've been trying to get rid of ;)

Also, when we say "pigment" - do we mean just like paint pigment?
| sheepdog | 01-22-2009 04:07 PM |
Yea, I don't really have a clue. That's just what I read, you'd want to talk to plasti-dip themselves before you choose exactly what to mix in to change the colors. Also, you'd need to talk to them about how to apply it after mixing, as most people in this thread are using a rattlecan application process.
| Kylar | 01-22-2009 04:17 PM |
i'd say most if not all of the plasti-dip used here is in the spray can variety which i don't believe can be mixed.
I used the black myself and have had it on for almost a year with no issues, just clean with a clean, lint free damp cloth. I use a mircofiber towel

| Kylar | 01-22-2009 04:32 PM |
I also forgot to add, there really isn't a need to sand down the part first. Plus if you don't sand the part you can always peel it off later to go back to OEM and your part wont be damaged :D
| aggie113 | 01-22-2009 05:48 PM |
I have some issues with the plasti-dip wearing off on some high friction areas. Specifically the hvac knobs that I twist alot and my b-pillars where they meet the middle section around the body line. I plan on doing something else for those but otherwise it has held up well on the center console area. I find some normal armoral makes it look good for awhile, just don't rub it too hard.
| XanRules | 01-22-2009 10:55 PM |
Meh. If I wreck a can by mixing and pigmenting it's like $4 for the brush-on stuff. No big loss.

I have a question for those who have used plasti-dip. I need something that I can either spray on or brush onto a small piece of flat plexiglass so that it won't slide on a slick/glossy surface like dinner table.
I was wondering if this product is rubbery enough that if you were to put your hand on a peice of flat plastic coated in this, would you be able to slide it across a glass surface or would it have enough friction to not slip.

I just plasti-dipped my interior pillars, and I would say that it's probably got enough friction for what you're looking for. It comes out witha nice semi-flat texture.

Yea, it's probably more plastic-y than rubbery... perhaps rubber spray truck bed liner? There are other rubber sprays out there as well.

i really wish it was warm enough for painting, I think my entire interior is going to get blacked out, plastidip entire dash, center console, and pillars.
