Plasti-Dip Your Byke

[Y Blue]

So has anyone tried plasti-dip on their byke? I'm considering giving mine a nice blue paint job but I'd like to know it's at least going to look okay and hold up for the season.

spyder dude did some of his chrome parts. And I did my fog light housings because they got scratched during other mods ooops. They came out great.

 

[SNOOPY]

No! :banghead:

 

[coz]

looks good

but not very durable if its an area that gets a lot of wear. i'm going to do my silver panels in satin black as soon as weather and time permit.

I did the silver brackets that hold the windshield. Sprayed on easy with minimum of running. Looked a bit lumpy at first but dried smooth.

This is something that I will be trying out soon.

I have 5 spray cans of Daytona Yellow, and will be painting my rims (fronts and back) and my helmet.

Pictures of my progress will be posted - this will be at least a month from now or longer. This is because I am going to a different employer and need to learn my new job - making jet engine parts, the ones that spin at high speeds in the engine.

Plasti-dip on fenders....did it last June...10,000 miles ago......not any chips....still looks like it did the day Pete did it.....

Depending on the shape of the parts and the location it is a great alternative to paint or even a wrap
if you want just a solid color.

The great thing is you do not have to tape around lights or emblems since the product makes a clean
edge when you pull it off after drying. It's best to do multiple light coats and let them dry between coats
rather than 1 thick coat.

Now they are offering more color options and pearlizers and gloss coats so the options are growing as well.

Here are some customer projects where we have used Plasti Dip on.

Same as FB's.... I did it myself when I installed TricLED's LED reflector fenderlights and turnsignal harness. You will need to add 2-3 coats. As uflyer says, it lumps at first but it dries like it needs to. Been on for 4-5K miles and no chipping. When you wash, make sure you use low pressure on them, I had to correct them so it comes out with a pressure washer (and it took a good while too). I did the windshield bracket and arms, the chrome "Can-Am" on the side service panels, the trailer rims and they all look good (I'll add the pictures later, they are on my phone and cannot use it at work).

Hmmm....
Blackening that fender-top piece on a Cognac bike, would probably look pretty darn nice too!

Do it

saw the black trim kit on a yellow ST , looked like the RSS

The black on cognac would look sharp

Yes I did and love this stuff. I can't believe I haven't heard about it sooner in life as it could have saved me a ton of paint troubles. Here is the thread I started on it. The pieces are all holding up real well but going to do a couple of them over again as my first piece sorta ran. The key to doing a good job is the first coat do very lightly and then do like 4 additional coats allowing 25-30 minutes drying time in-between.

Thanks : )

I will be trying out Flex Blue to cover over my sunny yellow very soon.... provided mother nature cooperates with me of course

Look up ALSA corp .com they have a water base spray like this in many colors I just got some but haven't used it yet. They have some killer paints. I spent hours on the site the first time sooooooo much to look at.

Dude, How do you keep the coating from tearing when you remove the masking tape and the coating has coated both?

I did the front of my '14 today in black....the white colored tupperware section between the two radiator intakes, to include that shiny black piece on the bottom. Put 4 coats on and it came out really well. Very little over-spray on sections not masked and the over-spray wiped off easily with paint thinner on a rag. I used a hair dryer to hasten drying between coats; maybe 10 min between.

No idea how well this will hold up as that section gets all the bugs and road debris. Time will tell, but its so easy to do over if needed.

The only place locally I found it was a hardware store and it was $10 a can.
