I'll give it a try if it ever comes available, LOL. Would be nice if they sold it in stores too.

Saw it a couple months ago, haven't give it a try. Read reviews on the internet that it requires TONS of coats to get a nice durable finish; otherwise it will peel off by just a slight scratch from your fingernail (or maybe the guy just didn't know how to spray LOL).

Anyway, I am interested to see what you guys got and.... I am subscribed!

I am also interested in this. I just purchased a fiberglass Anvil spoiler and I was going to use this stuff to paint it for now. If anyone with a silver car has used the silver metallic they offer I would be curious as to how close the colors are.

So far so good. I like it I am currently 5 coats in, the more I put on the more gloss comes out





I like to use envelopes or extra large note cards instead of tape



Currently on coat 5, Autodip recommends 10 coats.



Also posting these photos on instagram @NoCrustGTR

Does it go on similar to plasti dip where you can really coat it on or does it run easily?

Is it easy to apply like plastidip, or it is pretty hard and easy to ruin like a regular gloss paint can (very thin spray area).

It is a little bit in the middle. They say to do light coats the first few and then start to put it on heavier. Which is the instructions I've followed.

I only had one small run away drip so far. The spray area is about the same as plasti dip. I think this is actually easier to see the layering on this than plastidip.

For the price increase, what does it do that Plasti Dip doesn't?
