    I will look at using this on my bikes along with my Spyder. How long has it been on and have you seen any cracking of the paint?

    I know about Plasti Dip I have used it on tool handles for years. I'm sorry but I don't see the reasoning behind doing such a thing to a spyder. What are the advantages for you or the spyder?

    Car guys have been dipping their cars for a while now, to change the color and yet be able to change it back quickly or as rock chip protection. Bike guys have recently picked up the trend. I was going to go with vinyl film, but now I think I might try dipping it.

    Don't like the color? Peel it off and it's none the worse for wear. https://www.dipyourcar.com/pages.php?pageid=48

    Can you get a gloss finish with Plasti Dip?

    If you go over decales will it remove the decals if you remove the Plasti Dip?

    they sell clear coat(it looks much better in matte thou. glossiness kinda cheapens the look but thats just me) and variety of colors and no it will not take the decals off when you peel it off.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Can the clear coat be applied over the colored coat?

    Yes.
    More coats of clear, more glossy finish you will end up with.
    From flat finish, 1 or 2 light coat will result in satin finish but additional coats will yield more glossy finish.

    Homedepot carries plastidip in aerosol can in black. You most likely will have to order online for rest of their lineup.

    Default Plasti Dip

    Checked out Plasti Dip on YouTube and found this clip

    I am really excited to try it on my bike.
    Thanks for posting your experience with Plasti Dip.

    Dipped rims. Not the best best finish in the world but for $6, I am happy with it.

    My son did his CBR600 F4 frame in black. DON`T get gass on it! It will take it right off or at least the brand he used. Personaly I didn`t think it was that durable. Like I said it may be something he did or the brand. JMHO

    I have used "the dip" on hand tools for years. Metal parts, wooden parts, and various other surfaces. I am careful to apply properly, and have never had it come off or crack. ------Budro

    I was thinking of that Big Plastic panel we all have on our RT back end? Spray mine yellow or something other than the Black Plastic?

    That's the beauty of plastidip. You try but don't like it, you just peel it off.
    Durability wise, it seems to hold pretty well if not held or rubbed on constantly. I don't know about how easily will get damaged by chemical/fuel.
    It's just minimal investment for pretty good result. Someone asked me what if you scraped the rim against curb or something? Wouldn't your non-dipped rims get damaged too but with dipped rim, I just peel and reapply for $6.

    i used it for years for dipping the tool handles now it is a aerosol spray.
    it's mostly for teens & early 20's. those that want cheap & temporary color change.
