it is a great way to show us that if you want your plastidip to be durable, apply 2k clearcoat!! i will do it right now. i am tired of plastidip peeling itself after 2 months
So there's not really anything technically wrong with this, considering you paint something for the paint to stay there? I get plastidip is meant to be easily peel-able, but from a consumer perspective...I'd rather save effort in preserving my paint than removing it. If it's gonna last a few years and be easier to take care of, I'm not gonna mind spending some time removing it when the time comes.
It's been proven that if you apply enough it comes off fine. But I agree with you. If the goal is a paint job then remove it like paint. To each their own is all.
@@Lurker01 so I ended up spraying clear coat on one of my plastidipped wheels shortly after this comment (not 2k clear, a cheap one from autozone) and it was the best preserved of the 4. I changed wheels last year but of the 3 years it was on, it was the only one with no peeling or damage. It was easier to clean too, brake dust would stick to the other 3.
i have just a small wing/duckbill to do for my car and im on primer right now, i plan to do black plasti dip and then clear coat it to hell and back...since itll never get removed anyways. Reason is i like plasti dip the way it fill small imperfections and always give me a consistent finish...it's easier to work than paint that's the main advantage here.
I have been using 2k clear coat over plastidip on my wheels and interior trims for years and I can tell you that this guy didn't put enough coats of plastidip, probably intentionally to prove his point. You do 5-6 wet coats of plastidip and 3 of 2k clear. I can peel that off any day. Yes.. not as fast as only using plastidip but it is totally worth it as the paint will look real nice and very easy to clean, unlike plastidip alone acting like dust magnet. Also, wait no more than 5 minutes between plastidip passes and 10 mins between clear coat, all wet coats... this will make your wheels look wet and smooth like a baby's butt. Just buy a case of paint and practice on something.
Now after seeing this, wouldn't the 2k seem more durable? With just a glossifer, the plasti dip would just come off easily by a simple peel. If it comes off easily, that would make the product less durable? I am looking at plasti dipping my wheels and keeping it that way. The 2k made it difficult to peal since it dries hard. That usually means it's more durable because it holds up better. Rock chips, pressure washer etc...Just need some clarification
@@conniestevenson226yeah, but so are brownies. Burgers. Creme broulee. Toasted marshmallows. Gushers. Armadillos. Turtles. Human beings. You get the gist, short story long, the hard outer shell holds that soft inner substance in place. Wrap the mask around the back if you're worried about adhesion to the metal🤷♂️
I was debating on whether or not to buy your product but after seeing people doing the 2K gloss over plasti dip and then seeing this video, I will be making an upcoming purchase from your site. Thanks :)
Ive put 2k clear gloss over my plasti dip I used 2 cans. So far it's been 6 months and I must say it makes it easier to clean also the gloss looks really good. But I must say if you don't spray it on right then youre gonna get some orange peel or areas of overspray and it'll look gritty or somewhat flat. But overall im happy with both products I think the 2k prolongs the life of the plasti dip.
4:30 easy i can answer that question. The clear coat is not only a gloss shine to it but it's also like kazy glue. Once it hardens its becomes a solid and since you sprayed it over the plasti dip it solidify it as well so now instead of being able to pull it like rubber it's become hardened. Probably dont use it on plasti dip unless you plan on making that dip a for ever color
I am gonna dip my car and would like it to stay as long as it can. Which clear coat would hold up? I realize its not permanent all together, but I'm trying to fix a paint job without breaking the bank.
I accidentally did this but on a chrome trim on my bumper, is there a way to take it off without peeling or damaging my bumper??? Plz help I shouldnt have clear coated my plasti dip 😩😩😩
I think this could still have its practical application, when you have a set of mint chrome finish wheels you can still apply mutiple coats of plastidip and then 2k paint then the wheels are paintable in normal high gloss paint as many colors or coats as you like over time then when done even though it may take you a full day off chipping away to remove you would still have the original unscuffed hi mirror finish
I've done this with early version of Peelable Paint with clear coat. Found the removal is just like yours, impossible. BUT when used a propane torch (heat gun is safer) to warm up just enough to soften the clear coat, it peeled easily. TRY IT, YOU'LL LIKE IT.
Robert Martinez that's what I'm saying...the point of paint is for it to stay there lol I'm not gonna paint my wheels because it's fun and easy to peel off after
What about using a heat gun or using a power washer once started? Or a heated power washer? I imagine it would loosen some stuff up and make it easier to peel
@@edmasoud2826 We wont recommend something that will leave customers struggling to remove a coating that should not be applied over the dip. We want everything to go back to its original OEM finish without issues or a struggle.
I have a black plastdip stripe on a silver truck 3-4' wide at front down to a point in the rear. Could I splatter rustoleum on top red , white, and yellow?
Would you recommend the 2k gloss for permanent paint. I’m gonna plasti dip all my chrome trim and bumpers to a gloss black and I plan o leaving it that color forever
I dipped both my front and rear bumpers white and then shot some regular clear coat paint over it (not 2K)-- just a couple of coats - but it looks good.
It must stick to the dip ! , it just works against the elasticity , surely it’s a tougher more permanent finish that you can also flat back polish and add more if necessary?
good sir of DipTheeCar, how much weight does dipping 4 wheels add to the unsprung weight? 1lb total? im being really deep picky, but i grew up using chopsticks picking at singular kernels of rice to get my bowl clean. also i love picking scabs, WE ALL DO, says G. Carlin!
SOOO Glad you made that video. I have two cans of 2K gloss ready to go. Thank you from my my finger nails to my stress level. This simple information demonstrates your corporate honesty and goes a long way for customer retention.....good job. I am a believer in your company.
Luckily I did my research on RUclips and found your video, I was about to clear coat my plastidip for that glossy look but I had some doubts than found this video even if it's 3 years old, it is still valid. Thanks.
Best way to get plasti dip off is a pressure washer. Took me about an hour to get half of it off by hand and 5 minutes once I gave up and grabbed the pressure washer. I was pretty bummed that the pressure washer worked so well just after I spent forever swearing at my car haha.
Hi buddy.. got a question.. I want to plasti dip a new set of rims and 2k finish them then put a ceramic coat on them. But! I'm i able to do this then put the tire on the rim without it making a hole in the paint at the rim edge?
You guys did this video before on a small scale. I remember it did come off but in very small pieces. That's why I was surprised you were doing this vid till your end segment
@@nicholasgraham7230 Use gold wheel paint then, or use clear coat over the top of plasti dip like in the video for more durability and shine, if you want it peelable still but being a pain in the arse when it comes time to.
Fonz! Been watchin you for years now, annnnd been using Plasti Dip for years too! Love it! I have 2 questions for you: 1) Should I can I used a heat gun to help Plasti Dip cure faster and more evenly? 2) Can I use a heat gun to help remove Plasti Dip? Please let me know. Thanks!
Can't you blast it off with pressure washer? Could you make a video on that? I've had loose stickers on my car and motorcycle. And with pressurewasher they're off in a second...
I'd probably take a soft cloth with some thinners to soften the clear a bit and try peeling whilst it's still damp. Thant might be helpful. I dunno, never tried
Wouldn’t you be able to dip the wheel in acetone and just remove it all at once? I know 2k clear on dip isn’t a good idea for this reason but I feel acetone would make quick work of the 2k and dip if you wanted that extra gloss
Good to know it looks great though. If I use plastidip because im afraid to mess up and can Peel and redo but if I do it right I can use 2k and make it look professional if I don't plan on peeling anyway or am I missing something?
Looking for a clear coat to go over the bumper I plasti dipped so that it’s easier to clean, is more chip resistant and prevents fading. Any suggestions. Little background, I plasti dipped the bumper of my 4runner to make it look more like the TRD Pro front end.
Can u just leave it forever though? Just use plastidip as the base coat so that you can just have the ease of use and not need to sand your wheel down. I want to paont my wheels but don't have a place or the time to do a full paint job so I was wondering if I can just plastidip them and then 2k clear? I don't want to peel my wheels... I want them permanently black..
I get the problems... but I drive my car about once a week for like four of five miles due to having a company vehicle. This actually might work good for me. I do also have a powdercoat setup but lack an oven big enough to cook wheels. Also frustrating.
no I was thinking about putting the clear coat over thermoplastic bumpers first with plastic dip and then clear coat I wonder how it'll come off..but I really don't want it to come off I wanted the last as long as possible I hate doing things twice 😅
Man, who would have guessed? 😁
😂😂😂
I thought we been down this road a while ago???
What if you use some type of dissolve to weaken the clear coat. If not the whole thing so you can just wash it off?🤔
Clear gloss just hardens like an eggshell... Probably bonded all the way through.....keep proving em wrong fonzy
But how was it for protection?
Legend has it Fonzie is still peeling this rim
rooster857 omg you’re so funny.
Legend says, only chuck norris can peal that wheel in one go
Chuck Norris wouldn't peel it, the paint would peel itself when Chuck told so.
It's been a year and he's still peeling it
ha
it is a great way to show us that if you want your plastidip to be durable, apply 2k clearcoat!! i will do it right now. i am tired of plastidip peeling itself after 2 months

So it usually doesn’t hold up well???👀
The problem is you only did 7 coats. You need to do 38 coats for good peels
lmao golden
Lmaoo
Damn it I lost it man. Lmao
7 coats seems way to much...sounds like a big pain in ass to do.
More like 69

Thinking of trying on all chrome wheels on my 04 DeVille just want it to last at least till fall.
@@TATTDIS if you’re in Chicago let me know I do wheels, trim, and other things
Will this mixture 2k/Plastidip last for years if done correctly as you have experienced and stated?
No more than 5 minutes in-between plastidip coats or between the passes of a single coat?

can you sell the satin black in a can then? rather spray satin black on wheels over basic matte plasti dip
What about using a heat gun or using a power washer once started? Or a heated power washer? I imagine it would loosen some stuff up and make it easier to peel
I did this w my kids dirtbike wheels. So durable. If I ever need to reapply I can always sandblast it off

Me too! I have the cans sitting by me as I type 😂. I think I might go ahead and do it because I plan on powder coating them next.

Why isn’t Hyperdip available in stores? Only available online so shipping is very expensive.
Why not make this dip to be very durable and permanent, is it just for show?
Others have videos of the same thing but openly say that you have to use at least 10 coats of dip in order to make it peel easier later on.

“Making this clear” literally haha
Hi guys what about clear plasti dip on top of black? would that clear up some spray lines
My cousin did this, how would you get it off ? It looks good but it’s not dark enough
So what if we were to buy your dip dissolver product then use power washer? I’m sure that would work in getting it all off pretty quickly.
looks like it worked to me. no rocks are chiping that

Try using a bamboo bar-b-que skewer to lift the dip. I pour acrylic paints and have the similiar problem.

Too late.. i applied this last month to my wheels. GGGGGGGGREAT!!
Any update?
Have any pictures?
