I personally don't see any problem for using such as long as it serves its purpose and be gone with it when your not satisfied with the end result wont hurt the cars paint and your wallet. Well if its about environmentally hazardous then thats another ball game to discuss.

Heck back in high School we experimented on "farts" as biofuel substitute!
Unfortunately we have not collected enough human internal gas to make it a success! For lack of volunteer subjects.

Otherwise we have been billionaires like the sheiks of Saudi Arabia!

And Im driving a Ferrari 458 or the Aventador!

Personally, I'd rather paint something than plasti-dip it. I'm not a fan of the textured look. If I thought I was going to remove it later, I probably wouldn't waste my time in the first place. It can be good to help protect things, but there's nothing on my car that needs it so bad that I'm willing to apply an ugly protective covering

Zoren 370 · 08-21-2014, 11:11 AM

I know its a pain to apply had to do a lot of trial and error with the so called plast-s*it. But once done correctly it would leave you a smooth finish and not textured. My 2 cents.

All is good.

JARblue · 08-21-2014, 11:17 AM

Right on... I hear it can be difficult to remove if not applied properly as well. Regardless, I don't ever plan on using it. I'm glad that it works well for people willing to use it. To each their own

I do find it a bit humorous that some people are so vehemently for or against its use

Zoren 370 · 08-21-2014, 12:03 PM

Lol yeah its a pain too, to remove on areas you have thin coats.
Try using goo gone with citrus melts like butter easy to remove!

I tell you I learn things the hard way first.

the purpose of plasti-dip is to dip your tool handles... like pliers.

no, the application is fine, the overspray clean up is not.

i speak from experience. it's called plasti-shittt for a reason.

Well children listen lol. Yeah been there done that. The trick in avoiding overspray, textured finish and uneven coats shades.
Is spray the Sh*t really wet all over the surface make sure to have just about 4 to 6 inches away with the wet application it will somehow melt or blend in with your under/over speay/textured surface.

I would understand your frustration my fellow asian Kenchan as I have almost given up with this SH*t too. Like I said I learned the skill the hard and painful way.

Not a die hard fan of it just letting you guys know my experience and would eventually benifit others who find this SH*t economical and usefull.

Again use Goo Gone to remove the left over plasti-Sh*t

To some I must have opened some can of worms! Heck i found my gems in the garbage!
