Plasti dip idea

USAussie · 06-11-2013, 08:04 PM

Hey everyone, I have plasti dipped my emblems and turn signals and just had a thought. I like the matte finish that plasti dip offers but I think that a gloss black would look cool too. Do you think that applying a coat of like spray clear lacquer to the plasti dip would give it a bit of shine but still retain the awesome qualities of the plasti dip? Good idea? Doesn't work? Thanks for the feedback in advance.

Why don't you use the plasti dip glossifier? If you just try and use a regular clear coat you would have to do a near perfect mask job.

This way if you don't like it, you can undo it

Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for.

Yep, glossifer works great.

Check out www.dipyourcar.com for ideas. Their prices are a bit steep for each bottle. About $3 more then the stores.

A local Walmart usually carries the glossifier

if not, then try finding a seller on Amazon. dipyourcar.com usually sales cheap but they charge like $9 to ship.

DYC is THE cheapest for anything besides black which Home Depot sells, and white, which most Lowe's sell

They are cheapest but their shipping prices is not.
I tried ordering a can of red from DYC and it was coming out to
$18-$19 with shipping included. Found a seller from Amazon and got it for $14.

Oh, I didn't have that issue, one can was $7.80, shipping was 6-ish, but I ordered 8 cans and shipping was $8-9 which I though was good

But good to know for those who only need ONE can
