    It's just a spray on plastic/rubber paint that can peel off with no side effects ...the heavier the coat the easier it will peel off .. when needed pretty cool stuff all kind of uses Check out plasti dip vids on YouTube there's guys doing whole cars and what not

    dipyourcar.com should carry kits.


    The heavier the coat, the better.

    How well does Plastidip protect against rock chips? A few years ago, it was the "cool" thing to cover the front end of your car with masking tape (blue) when driving cross country to protect it from bugs and rocks. Don't see it as often (or even at all) now. I wonder when/if someone will try it with Plastidip...

    I think it'd work. I mean, I wouldn't tell someone it would hold up to a sandblaster or flying bricks but for a round trip road trip, I would say Yeah. Would be a lot of work for a temporary mask though. I thought 3M had a clear bra spray?

    Stuffs pretty tuff it's the multiple coats that add the protection and ease of removal . Don't tailgate a dump truck carrying sand over speed bumps .. At 80mph should be fine

    Meant to say that but yeah, what Scrub said.

    I've actually used it for winter wheel protection too.

    First coat is light mist, next coats will be a wet coat to help the rubber lay down.
