- When the temperature is low, there is a possibility that plasti dip® may not spray evenly due to freezing. The best thing we could do is to place the spray in warm water for 5-10 minutes or heat it with a heater. This results in the mixture softening internally and achieving the smooth result we want.
- Before painting a car or motorcycle with plasti dip®, it would be good not to have applied any polish or wax previously, as there is a chance that plasti dip® may not be applied correctly.
- Never paint a car or motorcycle if it has been previously painted with factory paint. It should have been at least a year to avoid problems with the varnish.
- When we want to create a stripe on a surface to achieve a straight line, we should remove the tape on the sixth "hand" (enough to have a good result) while the plasti dip® is still wet. This is because plasti dip® has the property to liquefy again when it falls on an already painted surface. Otherwise, if we remove the tape when it dries, it will ruin the straight line we have created.
- When spraying, always hold the spray or gun in a vertical position in relation to the surface. The distance should be 10-15 cm.
- It would be good to spray in an area without wind, as there is a possibility that the air may carry the material and dry the mist in an unwanted area. This results in the surface in that area not being smooth but having the texture of sandpaper.
- Always clean the surface well before painting and make sure there is no moisture in the various crevices.
- In periods with low temperatures, each "hand" needs more time to dry.
- You can wash your car or motorcycle 10 days later without fear, even with a pressure washer. In the beginning, you should be a little more careful. As the days go by, plasti dip® becomes very strong. We recommend applying the special Dip Protect wax approximately every month and a half.
- The ratio of thick plasti dip® to solvent in order to spray with a gun is 1:1. There is now also the thinned plasti dip® spray, which has a much better composition, coverage, and resistance and can be sprayed directly.
- In order to spray plasti dip® correctly, the spray gun should have a 1.5-2mm nozzle, the pressure should be low (1.5-2bar), it should be able to spray in a vertical open vent, and the quantity should be adjustable because the first "hand" should be soft to create a base (covering about 50%). The remaining 6 "hands" should be rich.
- At least 6 good "hands" should be applied, especially when dealing with large surfaces such as a car, so that it can be removed in large pieces and without difficulty when desired.
- Never wash with active foam widely used in car washes. Use only plain soap.
- Be careful with gasoline. Contact with plasti dip® can fade it. It is good to inform the employees at gas stations.
- High Gloss Top Coat: Apply 3 good "hands" for the ideal result. Approximately 30 minutes should elapse between each "hand". The pass with the gun should be done quickly to avoid running.
