For my rims I always use one can of the dip & one can of the glossifier.
When it comes time to peel and re-do, it peels right off.

Well I finally got around to doing my lower forks.
Man they turned out great.

Sorry if I missed this but can you dip the texture black plastic center console on something like a super glide? I know it will be textured but will it still peel?

Doubtful. I wouldnt try it unless I was prepared to strip the wrinkle coat if it went wrong. Would be better to trade for a chrome console and dip that. Lots of people wanting to switch from black to chrome and vice versa.

I think it would do okay. It works on pieces that have "engravings" (not sure what to call them).

came in to see what craftiness has come out of Plastidipping but learned alot from this thread... going to be experimenting with some Stove Bright and Cerakote coatings in the near future. currently Plastidipping my chrome mirrors. previous bike owner went chrome overboard

It holds up really well if you give it 4 coats or so and let it dry good. I did my wheels, lowers, trees, bars and mirrors. These are new bars just put on but my old bars were dipped and held up fine. Lowers too. No issues at all. You can touch it up too it will self level and blend right in. I usually just use a little wd40 on a rag to clean it. You can wash it but it looks cleaner done this way, I think anyways.

But you guys seem to be doing great with the rattle can. So far the appliance has been more forgiving. Thank!



And up close

try warming the cans. and a heat gun to dry between coat just stay far away cause it melts easy.
