Really nice turnout. I would suggest painting with a vertical application, using spray cans. Allowing to dry in the flat position. Heating cans Pryor and a heat source while drying. Orange peel should be almost eliminated. Great video really showed the diff in products.
Plasti Dip can be a mess, but I love the concept that you can peel it off. It’s very easy once you know how to apply it. Just make sure you apply it thick or it’s a paint to come off. If you put it on thick, it’s actually very satisfying when you go to peel it off 😅
Thanks. ..I have used duplicolor clear coat over carbon black it's a bit orange peely and works best and smooths out good if you put it on straight away while the black is still wet and comes out nice and glossy and don't forget to pull any masking tape off while it's wet or you'll be wasting a lot of time and money Also drop those cans in some hot water before spraying and wipe water off can hope this helps people
@@raskalteekayesssgaxg360 ya. Hot (not boiling, just hand washing hot) water will evenly heat the cans. Hot air expands inside the can, making more pressure. More pressure gives you a finer spray which usually results in less orange peel. A small bucket with your water and cans in for about 5-10 minutes will do wonders for the quality of your rattle can jobs, ESPECIALLY if temps are below 70 f. Try it you next (any) can of rattle can paint and don't forget to shake it thoroughly for 60-120 seconds. Shake between layers too (30-45 seconds)
No matter how thick I lay down those peel off paints, it takes me forever to peel them off. Over time they get dry and brrittle and break when you try to peen them. A pain in the rear but useful in many ways, like the way you used it. They are great for racing stripes. Did my alloy wheels, looked great, held p great, Almost impossibleto get all of that stuff off the wheels. Acetone does nothing. Great and helpful video. Thanks.
Plastidip do a one can glossy product now, have you tried that? Also any reason why you opted not to try HyperDip? I'm planning to dechrome my car so just researching which product to go for. Cheers
Thanks for doing this video, i just blacked out some of the emblems on my Ram with Plasti Dip and its glossifier but not super happy with the results. I might have to try the Duplicolor Wet Look stuff because i wanted a glossier finish.
Great video and representation. But the orange peel on the final product was horrendous. 6 light coats would definitely have yielded a better result since it's not self-leveling.
I have the exact l405 and I used hyperdip last year and this year I did the rustoleum vynil wrap. I will try this one next. I was fixing some curb rash but the wheel paint dont match the gloss of the rims. Did you paint your rims or had to paint areas? Which paint you used?
One of the better videos I've seen on this - I wish you had added Hyperdip and Superwrap for the ultimate test! Im looking for a high gloss for a lip spoiler and side skirts so it's got to somewhat durable too. Not sure that unicorn exists hahaha
What if you used the paint in the hard to reach grooves since those aren't as noticed and then vinyl wrap the smooth surface. That way you get the black without fighting the tight areas.
Thats a thought, but the vinyl doesnt like to stick to spray painted surfaces too well. You can use a primer for the vinyl like Primer 94 to help but i dont know how long it would hold
You used too much material off the rip. Use very light robotic passes, putting on less than 1/2 of what you’re using. Elevate pieces to at least hip high, on the ground remains a dust cloud(think surgical). Often fish eyes are from surface Contaminants less will appear if pieces are elevated. This will start to get you the results you’re seeking. I can get factory results with trash ass rusto cans from hardware store. Thanks for the video, these are just tips from my experience.

Drop cans in hot water??????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

It would have been useful to show us a close up of the factory paint to see if orange peel was visible.

I wonder if anyone has tried to wipe ceramic coating over the plasti dip?
does anyone think he went a little heavy on the first black coats..? it seems that may have attributed to a little orange peel
You’re supposed to do it that way. Don’t listen to the “official” directions or it’ll be a pain in the ass to peel off later.
Champion paint is very good, great on plastic bumpers
“ Very very very very super super super super impressed” 😂
Looks good Josh! Would like to see the final result of the whole vehicle 👍🏼
Thanks Omar!

You can use plastidip with a auto 2k clear and you will get a super gloss look and it will still peal
Thanks for the video. I am going to do my emblem with a gloss black. So thanks for the video.
you bet!
Thank you, what would you recommend for my wheels?

Should I use duplicolor black for my AMG Wheels?

Ha that might be tricky to find. Have you thought about vinyl wrap?
@@imjoshv vinyl would be a nice upgrade in life 😂
Superwrap is garbage, Plastidip is ok, Dupli-color is by far the best I’ve used.
I wonder if this can be used on plastic chrome accessories as well?
Have you ever tried Plastidip topped with 2K clearcoat?
i tried the black Plastidip 4 coats then 2 coats of glossifier and wasn't real happy with results, it pretty much still looks matt finish
I wonder about the durability of the product, thanks Josh 👍😁
Good question, the good thing about these peelable products is they are pretty easy to touch up
Looks dry like glossy but like the overspray stays maybe if you did the extra coats wet
How many cans would be needed for 20” wheels?
Great vid looking to paint my rims very helpful 👍🏾
How did it turn out? Do they clean pretty easily? Plan on doing mine this weekend.

@@imjoshv yeah I haven't really came across that situation yet. I haven't played with the peelable paints. Thanks for the video. Great stuff.
so what products did you use for the super glossy one?
Watch the video you’ll find out
Since that’s an actual black paint you could make the gloss finish even better if you used a buffer and some turtle wax
Did you try black plastidip with 2k high gloss clearcoat from spraymax?
Good job , where do you find this product in Australia ?
Where are the links?
Hyper dip seems to be a good product takes a while to come in but great reviews
👍👍
Thanks Josh! looks nice, good job,,, 👍🏻
I subscribe now!
Thanks for the sub!
where is the products you used ?? you put down in one comment to watch vidio most details give list why havent you
Can i just use the gloss black by itself and get the wet black look??
What about hyperdip?
What about it?

Having it off the ground make alot of sense!!!! Thanks for the tips
We wanted to see how the car mirrors and trim came out?
I actually wrapped those I vinyl and didn’t spray them
Hyperdip is far better I think
This would have been perfect; if not for so much orange peel,
I agree
That’s way glossier than the plasti dip I’ve used
Thanks!
Alot of orange peel smh
1st
☝️
Great video and immense product :)
Hey Josh, nice work man. That's a really good find. Keep it up!
Thank Chris!
Any idea how to minimize orange-peel with this product?
