plasti-dip part 5

[QUOTE=Matt_H;17857794]What I'm doing now.

Think Home Depot will have Plasti-Dip?
sheepdog 04-29-2007 04:06 AM
The home depot here does.
scottjua 05-03-2007 03:54 PM
in the middle of mine now...

notes:

light coats make it look FURRY almost, unless you are careful and persistent with the coats

too wet, and it dries smooth/lumpy/pitted

The good thing is if you don't like it it peels off, and you can start fresh.
sheepdog 05-03-2007 05:11 PM
Did you sand it too much? The "Furry" appearance is what happened when I used to rough a grit. in terms of the pits, they disappear with a few more coats.
scottjua 05-03-2007 11:17 PM
Actually I think it was part because I was a bit too far away, but in the end, I kept the texture, and it dried like a crinkle texture almost like a rubberized powder coat a la the red crinkle paint on the STi manifold... weird, but I like it.

I actually did everything twice... I didn't like the first version as the can starting dumping drips and there were some gobs, and uneven areas that I didn't like. So off it all came in a few strips. This stuff is cool, as you can make it look a few different ways depending on how you apply it apparently, and if you don't like it...just peel it off.

I didn't sand or prep the surface any way other than wiping down the stock STi trim pieces.

I'll get some decent pics in the daylight, and some macro shots as well.
hella_sti 05-03-2007 11:18 PM
anyone paint an ATi clock pod with this stuff yet? I'll be getting one soon and plan on doing it!
soundslikeboxer 05-04-2007 06:50 AM
Is there an easy way to paint the dash without taking it out?
sheepdog 05-04-2007 12:03 PM
I wouldn't even try it. The potential for overspray and the amount of masking you would have to do would take so much time it wouldn't be worth it, and it wouldn't turn out as good. Pulling the dash cover isn't that hard.
stripperluva 05-05-2007 12:19 AM
Ok I did all of my trim with the plasti-coat.

It looks great but is a dust magnet on all pieces.

So....I took the advice of one of the local antique car restoration people (evidently the plasti-coat/spray vinyl is a good trick) and coated the plasti-coat with SEM Classic Coat -low gloss black. This is a flexible paint for vinyl, leather, and plastic resotrations.

HOLY CRAP!!!! It looks exactly the same but as the plastic-coat absorbs the Classic Coat and then dries to be tuff as sch*tt.........still flexible..........not tacky......and a bit smoother.

I am VERY VERY happy with this combination and now it is even tuffer than it was with Plati-Coat alone.

Take my experience for what ever it is worth but this porved a great combo for me.
scottjua 05-05-2007 12:44 AM
cool... gotta see that in person someday since we're so close. I'd be interested to see how it compares to mine. I have pics... but probably not gonna get them uploaded until tomorrow morning to share.

Seriously mine looks like crinkle/powder coat metal...
sheepdog 05-05-2007 02:03 AM
hmm, interesting. I might have to pick some of that stuff up and give it a shot on a test piece before I spray my whole dash.
scottjua 05-05-2007 01:34 PM
finally some pics. I used my little Fuji point and shoot and tried to get some different light when we parked at different spots yesterday.:

are those results acheived with a few light coats or one heavy coat??
scottjua 05-06-2007 11:18 PM
a few light coats from about 12-15 inches away more or less...

I've really grown to like it, and the wife and friend said they liked it as well, so I'm happy.
drees 05-07-2007 02:03 PM
Looks great, the consistency of your finish is OEM like!
ATK 05-07-2007 04:48 PM
I really love the look of it and even considered spraying some pieces like that but then I thought about how tough it might be cleaning if something got on it or wiping dust off of it. Let us know how it goes.
scottjua 05-07-2007 08:26 PM
lint from microfiber cloths seems to catch easily, but so far its been really durable... especially after curing. That said, I've found so far to get lint off, you can just rub it with a moistened finger (water) and lint clings to your finger instead of the rubber.

I'll know more as dust builds over the weeks and report back, but so far, its no worse than keeping the alcantara clean.

Oh, god. Now someone is going to spray their STi seats:p I still can't believe that one guy sprayed his headliner! Looks decent though.
Eric310 05-08-2007 03:20 AM
It looks good but im worried about the lint and dust as well. I think Im just going to go buy flat black paint and do a couple of coats of that first. If it doesnt work out then i have the plasti dip ready.
sheepdog 05-08-2007 03:29 AM
seriously, I used armorall natural finish (meant to not attract dust) and wiped it down and it worked just fine. I'm not sure about if you get the finish scottjua got.
scottjua 05-08-2007 03:47 AM
The best thing about plasti-dip is the ability to peel it off and have a perfect OEM piece underneath. Paint would be much harder to do this I would imagine.
antiks 05-09-2007 09:48 AM
that plasti-dip stuff really does rock....but plasti-dip boogers don't...i gotta wear a mask next time..
Saucy 05-09-2007 12:09 PM
good f'n job to the guys who did this/posted pix.. im sure you all are inspiring the rest of us to do ours! i am!

sick sick sick turnout!
bannerd 05-13-2007 12:41 PM
I'm going to do my rims with this stuff, do you guys think it'll work? I have a black 06 wrx and I think black rims would looks nice, but I don't want to buy somthing that will peel off...says on the can it doesn't peel and is durable.

What do you think?
AtlxPat 05-13-2007 12:54 PM
i say dont
gslben 05-13-2007 01:13 PM
This was dusty as hell. Tried a bunch of things because lint does kinda stick to it. Used one of those little California Duster things and that has been the best way so far. 5 bucks at any auto parts store.

used the stuff the other day for dash parts....i am in love with it will post pictures soon
p8baller07 05-22-2007 01:09 AM
Wait... So all thats needed to get that texture is just a can of this stuff and after a few coats i can expect those results?
antiks 05-22-2007 01:41 AM
done patiently..you too can have flat rubber black

I found some decals over on IWSTI that go over the A/C controls to finish this look out without buying the expensive JDM ones.

Hey guys, so I got to lookin' under my hood last night and I have been trying to clean everything up. I don't like the super bright yellow caps all over the place (but I know the point is so you can find them easier). So I'm testing out how this stuff works under the hood. I'm not sure what it will do so I will keep you posted. I sprayed the coolant cap, washer bottle cap, dip stick, and oil cap. I really want to do the other caps and that little clamp that holds the hood stick (can't think of what its called).:banana:

[/quote]

I pulled the whole insert off and wrapped the fabric around the edges, sticking it to the back side. It's one layer of fleece for padding, and a layer of micro suede for the texture. If you're interested in doing it, search for a How-To thread I made in this section of the forum.

If anyone has an OEM grey set they'd like to trade, I'll gladly consider...

ATK - That looks pretty damn good. I'll have to give that a shot, as some of the Fuzion paint cracked off where the plastic has flexed on certain caps.

I've always thought that would look much better in black. I may be doing that this weekend!

found some people that have done this with a different vinyl dye... [url]http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=VHT%2DSP942&N=700+115&autoview=sku[/url]

Looks sweet though - Not sure whether to go with the dye or the plasi-dip

arco 06-07-2007 01:33 AM
i'm looking at the 02-04s and i can't tell if i like it or not. i think its because of the picture quality. lighting and flash marks usually ruin the picture. i don't know how the pieces would turn out as well in texture.
257_666 06-07-2007 02:46 AM
does this stuff come in different colors? if not can it be painted over so it still has the texture?
ATK 06-07-2007 02:50 AM
you may be able to find it in Red or yellow. Typically most stores that carry it just carry black
SwisSlesS 06-07-2007 04:14 AM
I've been thinking about this stuff but the possibility of dust attraction and complications with cleaning have somewhat deterred me. This got me thinking, how would clear coat over the top work? Make it easier to clean and keep essentially the same look? Presumably it would still be relatively easy to remove, since the plasti-dip is the base coat. What do you guys think?

These vinyl dyes come in many colors from summit racing. Not sure about the texture of it though...
