Anybody here try plasti-dip?

Apparantly its a rubberized paint coating that can just be ripped off when you want to and will be more durable and stretchier than regular paint that will just flake off.

Wanting to order a few cans and try it out.

Yeah Plasti-Dip is common..it depends on what you need to use it for tho. Never used it on Rims, let us know how it goes.

Don't you want a more permanent kind of coating tho?

surely you should use primer before the paint.... it will stick far better and in turn the paint and finish will last much longer and survive the first wash

No not really lol, the fact that is rubberized means itll hold up better to rock chips and such im assuming, and thats good cause even if it gets messed up i can just rip it off and re-spray it.

Gonna look for a couple cans of yellow plasti dip now.

Don't want to use regular spray paint cause i suck at spray painting.
