- When the temperature is low, there is a chance that plasti dip® may not spray evenly because it hardens. The best solution is to place the spray in warm water for 5-10 minutes or warm it up on a radiator. This causes the mixture inside to soften, resulting in a smooth finish.
- Before painting a car or motorcycle with plasti dip®, it's advisable not to have applied any polish or wax beforehand, as this might affect the proper application of plasti dip®.
- Never paint a car or motorcycle if it has been previously painted with factory paint. At least one year should have passed to avoid issues with the clear coat.
- When creating a strip on a surface to achieve a straight line, remove the tape in the sixth "hand" (enough to get a good result) while the plasti dip® is still wet. This is because plasti dip® has the property to liquefy again when it comes into contact with an already painted surface. Otherwise, if you remove the tape after it has dried, the straight line will be compromised.
- When spraying, always hold the spray or gun vertically to the surface. Maintain a distance of 10-15 cm.
- It is advisable to spray in a space without wind, as air movement can carry the material away and cause it to dry unevenly. This can result in a surface that is rough, like sandpaper, instead of smooth.
- Always clean the surface thoroughly before painting and ensure there is no moisture in the various grooves.
- During low temperatures, each "coat" takes longer to dry.
- You can wash your car or motorcycle about 10 days after application without fear, even with a pressure washer. In the initial days, extra caution is recommended. As days pass, plasti dip® becomes more durable. We recommend applying the special Dip Protect wax approximately every month and a half.
- The viscosity ratio of thickened plasti dip® to thinner for spraying with a spray gun is 1:1. There is now also the diluted plasti dip® spray, which has a much better formulation, coverage, and durability, and can be sprayed directly.
- To spray plasti dip® correctly, the spray gun should have a nozzle size of 1.5-2mm, the pressure should be low (1.5-2 bar), and it should be capable of spraying in an open vertical fan pattern. The amount should be adjustable, as the first "coat" should be light to create a base (about 50% coverage). The remaining 6 "coats" should be rich.
- At least 6 well-applied coats should be used, especially for large surfaces like a car, to allow for easy removal in large sections when desired.
- Never wash with active foam commonly used in car washes. Use only plain soap water.
- Be very careful with gasoline. Contact with plasti dip® can cause it to fade. It's advisable to inform gas station staff.
- High Gloss Top Coat: Apply 3 good coats for the best result. Allow approximately 30 minutes between coats. Use the spray gun quickly to prevent runs. The smoother the underlying plasti dip®, the greater the reflection of the high gloss top coat.
- Use White Plasti Dip as a base for better coverage and a more intense finish!
