Plasti dip is pretty durable and a cheap way to make sure you like it before deciding to pay the money for PC.

That looks great man


From what ive read plastidip is durable, and although doesn't replace powdercoating, is semi-permanent, and can help you decide if its worth the cash to ya

Thanks.

I haven't had it on to much yet so can't report back on how durable it is first hand but I have read and see lots showing it holds up quite well.

I thought this was pretty impressive.

Another good video. I have over spray on my tires and haven't pulled it off yet (you can't really tell unless you look at the right angle anyways.)
