Calling Plasti Dip Experts!!!

[I`m Batman]

So, I've decided that I want to Plasti Dip my whole bike (All the fairings and the tank). Any idea on how much I need? Just one color. Black. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Let's dip er'!

A bike won't take much, and you can do it with cans which you can buy local... I think 4-6 cans would be enough

I bought a few cans of these to test http://www.homedepot.com/p/Performix-Brand-11-oz-Plasti-Dip-Black-Rubber-Coating-Spray-11203-6/100131010#.UYPYOsruxmo
Will this work or do I need to get a different kind?
What about gloss finish? Do I need to get gloss finish?

yup those are perfect.
the finish depends on if you want matte (as-is) or if you want some shine to it, you can always add gloss later if you want to... btw did you see any gloss cans when you bought that black?

Nope, didn't see any gloss in the store.

I think you can order the gloss from dipyourcar.com if you wanted it to shine. I think matte is the way to go for everything. I ordered matte white for mine which should be here Tuesday. Lets have a dip day.....


That sounds disgusting

One complaint I heard from a guy who did gloss over his bike dip, is that it has a tacky feel/texture to it...

That's strange. But you would know better than I would. My first time really working with plastidip will be next weekend.

Cool. I'll try the front fender this weekend.
