- When the temperature is low, there is a possibility that plasti dip® will 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 possibility that plasti dip® cannot 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 of re-liquifying 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 where there is no wind, as there is a possibility that the air will carry the material and dry the mist in a place we do not want. 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 of 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 one and a half months.
- The ratio of thick plasti dip® to solvent in order to spray with a gun is 1:1. There is 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 paint gun should have a 1.5-2mm nozzle, the pressure should be low (1.5-2 bar), 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 without difficulty when desired.
- Never wash with active foam commonly 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. Allow approximately 30 minutes between each "hand". The pass with the gun should be done quickly to avoid running.
