Plasti-dip
« on: 23 December 2011, 17:11 »
Just thought id let you all know if you dont already ... If your rubber texture parts of your interior have seen better days then plasti dip is the way forward i sprayed the disks around the rear astray, passenger handle and gear surround console and they look brand new its really good stuff for £14 !!!!! Will get some decent pictures somewhen tomorrow !

Ha!  I was only eyeing this stuff up the other day (found pics of finish on a random Fiat forum).  Its a lot cheaper than that direct from the manufacturer ;)  What sort of prep did you do?  Any advice on spray methods?

Ive had two lots now first can was plain white with a plasti dip sticker that stuff was sh!t !!! It had hardly any black in it that was from a random site the second one from ebay was in a printed funny shape can and thats what i sprayed all my stuff with in the end i sprayed the whole console not just the centre bit and it looks no different to the handbrake one that i didnt spray (colour wise)

I used alcohol stuff to clean every thing (if youve got deep scratches go over with a green scrubby pad thing to blend them out ) i used the back of my van with the heaters full wack as this stuff dont like the cold i also let the can heat up with some hot water aswell and shake the crap out of it !

Do a few coats of a very light spray and then layer it on there after the light coats have fully dried.

If youve watched a couple of youtube videos the finish is abit decieving mate its not as smooth as it looks but its still pretty cool i think i like it more than smooth
