Default Plasti Dip Kits!! Yes!

Right next to the fuzzy dice and chain link license plate frames at your local Autozone.

What are you guys mainly using this stuff for....not sure I understand....members painting their hoods, and stripes down the fenders? IMO the only thing I might ever consider using it for is maybe an undercoating application of some sort.

Stripes, painting rims, decals, emblems, you can even paint your entire car....

Undercoating seems like it wouldn't really work..since it's a rubber based product the high heat would melt the plastidip..

I personally see it as the new ricer mod, but that's just me. To each their own, but you will never see the stuff being sprayed on my GT500.

The only time I really liked it was on the Cobra emblems on a white or yellow Terminator. All others need not apply. Sorry if I offend those who have used Plasti Dip recently or in the past.

I see it as a way to paint my winter wheels without the trouble of using actual paint, clearcoat, etc. Cheaper, better, easier.

I can't imagine this stuff being very durable, especially people using it for Lemans style stripes. I saw the video of a guy who did it on his Camaro and the stuff rolls rolls up from the edges easily. A simple bump of your fingernail can damage the edge of the stripe very easily as well. To me it's just cheezy. Saw photos on this forum as well of a guy who painted his wheels with it and it took the finish on the wheels right off when he went to remove it. I guess I don't get this latest craze. But I have to admit, it's kind of like watching Springer....I do get a kick out of watching people using it on their cars lol.

I think it can look good when used for accent painting and on certain wheels but some people are going overboard with it

None of this will EVER touch my car. I am thinking of using it for the show poles.

I vote complete ricer mod.

But it's entertaining seeing people so excited about it...like watching monkeys eat their poop.
