I am going to use that soon on some wheels. I like that is a rattle can because regular plastic dip is not.

Plasti-dip has been selling spray cans in all sorts of colors for ages, it's just few places seem to carry them.

I just order the stuff online. You can usually find black and white just fine, but the others are rarely carried.

How convenient! They put Plasti-dip remover right next to it!

My local Home Depot carries both the Rust-Oleum and the genuine article, but both in limited colors.

I love plasti-dip, but at least the "knock off" is not a crappy company.

Considering the cheapest Plasti-dip rattle can I have seen up here in the great white north is $25 bucks this stuff could catch on.

Since PlastiDip isn't sold in Canada, I'm okay with this. We can order it online, but after paying for shipping & duties, forget about it.

The closest thing we can get in stores here is Rust-Oleum ProGrip , and Home Depot doesn't even seem to carry it anymore .

I sprayed my whole car with rattlecans of PlastiDip with a pistol grip adaptor.

Do not recommend. Results are OK because I knew what I was doing, but dear god it was a PITA

Yeah, it does. At least it did when I tried dipping my hood. Soak the crap out of it and scrub with a rag (that won't scratch paint, obviously) It loosens it up and it'll come off as you scrub. Worked beautifully for me. Then once you're done, just wash whatever you dipped to take the residue off.

It certainly saved my ass a couple times.

I tried ordering some of the metallic plastidip direct from them through my company, and apparently all the "unique" ones are only available through dipyourcar. Everyone else is limited to black, red, white and clear.

That sounds awesome.

Crazy, though I know I've seen the Blaze Orange and Blaze Blue in a hardware store, probably for safety use.

Sore thumbs were had, but the results aren't bad. Need to buy another can in order to touch up some parts that have peeled off slightly >_<

Here’s the cheapest Place to get the Plasti-Dip type paint. They have it for $55 a Gallon which is $20 cheaper than Plasti-Dip anywhere I’ve painted a lot of cars in my shop with Plasti-Dip and Plasteke is actually a better quality of paint. Plus the rectangle cans are so much easier to handle and the shipping package is smaller.
