I followed this procedure (after years of light coat recommendation videos) and I can honestly say I'm VERY impressed with the results on my 06 eclipse front bumper. Thanks sick dips! I learned something new watching this vid. Side note: I did my bumper the same last year with light coats and took it off after a couple months because I wasn't fully satisfied. QUICK TIP: spray the edges of the tape a couple minutes (maybe 1) before removing the tape, makes for some crispy lines. Careful with the dust. Good video, well documented. Thanks again for the help
Great video dude. You really expanded on the spraying "wet" concept. I was definitely spraying too lightly, but when it comes out of the sprayer, it's "wet" so I didn't really think there was a difference. Someone just saying "you have to put down wet coats" doesn't really mean anything to a noob like myself since it's already a wet product! Thanks for breaking it down!!
great vid, I've notice just before I watch this video of someone doing their wing and I notice the result was rough. that was the first thing you addressed in this video.
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Have you already gone over tip size or pressure? What about thinning plasti dip? To thin or not to thin? And thin with what?
I was getting some bumps in mine with dusting method, switched to wet like this video, and a hood scoop I was playing with came out smooth as silk... Great tip.
Been meaning to plasti dip the bottom half of my passat wagon. Been looking at how to for months, but this video has given me alot more guidance, other vids I've seen show lines and marks everywhere. I'll probably do a light coat first as I'm working on vertical panels, and then go wet coats from there. Thanks for the informative vid.
gotta say, this worked great in reverse too... when I was trying to create a rubber snow flock ** something I could peel vs deal with scrubbing. For the "faux plasti flock" I just stuck it in the fridge. Worked GREAT and peeled so much easier than cleaning flock.
I totally didn't go wet enough and started with two very tacky layers. So after glossifyer I have a textured finish that isn't what I like. Now I know what went wrong, thanks man!
great stuff, Milan thanks.....one question.....if I already have texture in my PlastiDip wheels, can I continue with wet coats to get a smooth finish, or do I need to peel off all the old stuff and start from scratch?
There is a bit of an art to working with this stuff....as I'm starting to find out 🤣🤣 I did the mirror caps on my car yesterday....deliberated removing the caps first but as at least one of the caps has some broken clips I was concerned if break them getting them off so decided to do them in situ. Masked them off using proper 3M tape and also masked off what I thought would prevent over spray.......needless to say it turned out a bit disastrous. The weather cooled, there was a light breeze and I began to run out of light, I didn't know about warming the cans either so the product went on too thickly and left a mottled finish. Also the fallout from the spray went all over the car so its now covered in over spray and plastidust....apart from where I masked off. I know it will come off but not looking forward to having to do it....might try the WD40 method if it proves too difficult. I am going to warm the can and add 2 or three thick coats on each cap (assuming the remaining can will go the distance) and hopefully will then have a smooth finish. I will then add glossifier to finish it off at some point. So advice to anyone trying this..... If in colder condition/climate warm the cans (102f/38c about right), it doesnt atomise properly for a smooth finish otherwise. Be sure to mask up properly.....the stuff literally gets everywhere particularly if there is any sort of breeze. Again it's not the problem it would be with regular paint but it will save you some cleanup effort afterwards. If you are going to go the rattle can route consider getting a pistol grip for your cans, at least for the final coats. Having to press the nozzle whilst workable isnt comfortable and I dont think contributes to a decent finish. Really and truthfully, I probably shouldn't have cheapskated and just gotten two new caps and had them painted but if I can get a decent final finish and it lasts a few years I'll be happy.
Sir, thank you so much for this video!!! I've been looking for months to see if it is absolutely necessary to by their (DYC's) little compressor. So glad you proved that the compressor I already have can be used!!! Thank you!! What's the best pressure setting to use???
I think its all depend on the surface you spary. If you spraying on flat surface of course this technique is better. But if you spray on rim with many edges and corners then thick coat will build up runs and drip on that part.
Great video. The wet coats with 50% overlap makes the texture look smooth. I put mine in warm water and the bottom of the can started bulging out. Maybe it was a little to warm. Lol.
cross hatching helps even the coats as well. also, sanding with 6000 grit wet between coats , and tack cloth between coats to remove all dust particles is important.
LOVE the video!!!!! Other videos I’ve watched gives just the opposite advice put it on REALLY lightly in 20 coats! Yours looked WAYYYYY nicer! I’m gonna subscribe to your channel so I’m sorry if you’ve already did a video on this but have you used their “Glossifier”? I wanna paint my car but I don’t really want it to be a matte finish.
Great vid bro, what size of tip do you use in the hvlp gun???? I don’t mean to be rude by all means but I need to know ASAP since the project I have time is a factor. Thank you
I'm planning on dipping a plastic bumper. Do you think I need to use the plastidip primer? I also plan on using the glossifier as the last step. How many coats of glossifier are recommended? Thank you.
you sir are a smart ass man😂 and hey I'm about to start the new RUclips channel because of you👌🏻 next week hopefully, its going to be on a customers 2010 mustang and it'll be on plasti dip. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great up work and great tips!
So if I already put a few coats and it's slightly textured can I just finish with a wet coat. Or do I need to peel off and start over. I currently have 5 coats on .
thanks for this video. genius...absolutely genius. has DYC seen this? because they DEFINITELY tell you to start with that thin layer at the beginning, which is wack. Also, one other question: do you think it's necessary to use their prep solution? I've seen some people use rubbing alcohol instead...thoughts?
Thanks for the vid man - had a question though. I found it funny that you recommend basically doing what Fonzie at DYC doesn't recommend...that is going heavy on the first coat? In his instructional vids he recommends doing light coats and building up the layers slowly? Just curious, as your finish seems to come out great with no texture. Do they heavy coats seem to just work better for you?
+NickBen11 I find that you can do it thick from the very first coat and you will not get texture with it. If his way works for you, by all means do that, but this is how I get it to work. :)
I see what you did there lol. I was spraying it wrong. I used plastic dip on my emblems and surface came out rough but it made the red look matte. Still looks good though.
Doing a very thing rear spoiler lip tomorrow.. should I do heavy coat first? A bunch of other videos say light coat first. But these result do look good
You spray a car (hood) using a HVLP gun. A gun doesn't have the horizontal/vertical problem. You're kinda stupid if you're gonna dip your car using a aerosol can.
Cilvagold you can't do a wet first coat like this guy did in the video on a vertical sheet of metal. It'll run. Even Fonzi from DYC doesn't tell you to do a wet first coat. A wet coat on bare metal won't adhere properly. You can only do wet coats as follow up coats because the solvents in the sprayed medium melt the exiting fresh substrate and give it hold. This kid got fish eyes in his first coat and he solved them by just laying it on heavier. That's not going to have good adhesion.
By spraying "wet", do you mean just push harder on the nozzle for the spraycan? Cuz I unfortunately already made the mistake but for future would like to know.,
All well and good, but what about runs on vertical surfaces? Did this, tried multiple times with multiple nozzles and guns. Ran every time... Helppp!!!!
I like the wet coat technique but I feel like it should be we coats the last few coats. But most of the time if you spray it wet on a piece that is vertical it will run. I did this mistake costing me to do it again. Tack coat first and second coat then do wet coats. Still even finish.
Please help me. I have My car dippet but the clear coat on the boot door has not been done proberly. It has a lot of texture. How do I fix this? Can i just add another few layers of wet clear coat and Hope it Will react and look nicer, pr Will i have to wet sand it before? I did 4 layers of base matte Black, 4 layers of Grey color and 2-3 layers of top clear coat.
Hi, I watched your video and I realized that you use a compressor very similar to mine '' air force commander 4.0hp), I want to connect a professional gun with professional compressor hose to that, as I can do? as you did? What precautions should I take? the compressor will endure? I need your help. Thank you !
+Dip In I only use that 'compressor' to blow water off of cars. I dont use that to paint. I have an actual compressor like this to paint (see the link). The air force commander pushes air, it does not compress it like a compressor to pump up a tire. My compressor is like a much bigger version of this: www.amazon.com/PORTER-CABLE-C2002-Oil-Free-Pancake-Compressor/dp/B000O5RO1Y/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1447462172&sr=8-16&keywords=compressor
after applying PDS and then the high gloss top coat with the pearls and it is all done, How would it look if just the high gloss was sprayed on top? (not mixed with any pearls) you think it would make it look like actual paint? and on the DYC gun what percentage of paint do you have it on?
+Jesus Borjas It would have a nice high gloss but you will need to build up layers in order to get it to look like automotive paint. I have it about 60%
What if I already got coats that are textured could going over it wet with following coats fix that? I'm used to using regular spray paint which you want to do quick passes
I wanna plasti dip the roof of my car, how many coats u suggest and how many gloss coats? I saw another video where this guy did one plasti dip coat then a gloss coat then another plasti dip coat and another glass etc... how do u recommend I do it
Hi, have u tried dipping black powder coated wheels straight with plasti dip gold metalizer?? If so, what's the outcome? If not, can u make a video of it? Thanks! Note: wheels don't have plasti dip base coat.
madtonesbr he’s referring to the rough sandpaper-like finish that you get if you do too light of coats. since it sprays out in particles, if you don’t do a heavy/wet enough coat, you see those individual particles because it’s not a think enough coat for it to self-level by filling in the gaps. then it ends up looking almost like a low grit spray bedliner.
Idk, it doesn't seem like it it will be all that durable because you did such thick coats.. Don't you want the first cost to be light then next coat a bit thicker and so on?
+Breaking rc It doesn't matter if you spray 30 super light coats or 5 super thick coats. 1 can of plastidip is 1 can of plastidip. Same thing goes for gallons. It doesn't matter the amount of coats you do, it goes by the volume of plastidip you spray. I hope this makes sense :)
+Sick Dips oh that does make sense, I'm just confused why people say don't do thick coats, they always say do the first coat light, then build up from there, and I watched this video before I painted my front grill and I have to admit it was very smooth as far as plasti dip goes. :) you can check out the pic on my Instagram page @breaking_rc
I put 5 coats on my hood today. It's too textured for my standards. If i put 1 wet coat on the whole thing, will it fix it or at least look somewhat better?
This video really helped! I plasti dipped some interior trim with cans and it turned out grainy. I was holding the can too far away and not putting on wet coats, I was treating it more like spray paint.
can you teach me how to spray roof with spray can. my problem is, the is too wide and the spray can have low pressure. i make line although i spray it for 5 coats or maybe more.
Hello Milan :) I am from nepal and I've been using plasti dip cans and man, It is so awesome!! 😍😍😍 Planning to be a dealer here in my country, Wonder how you guys manage to get gallons of plasti dip since I've been using them on can sprays :( I bought alot of spray guns and machine for paint job but, they didn't work how I imagined it to :( Your painting good are awesome 😍😍😍 Where can I find them and how do I become a dealer for plasti dip?? Thank you Milan Peace :)
Dipyourcar people say that the pds material can not be sprayed thru a hvlp gun with out thinning... do you thin yours out when you use a hvlp instead of the dyc gun?
Hey dude, great tips. Thanks! Question. I'm gonna plasti dip the side covers on my bikes radiator. Is this stuff heat proof (ish)? Can it handle being in close proximity to high temperatures? Thanks
Great video! Was messing with some plasti-dip and some emblems, had a rough surface. Your tips address my issues!
Well hello there Jason! Did you ever make a video of you dipping your emblems?
The comments here helped me more than the video. Saved me
facts

I used your method, to paint my bumper, and it turned out perfect. Thanks for your technique! 👍💯💯
I spent an entire day looking for advanced Plastidip tips. This video was the BEST BY FAR. REALLY GOOD INFO
"That's enough talking for now, let's get started."
Immediately starts talking.
+Brandon Darensburg Ahaha I actually died when I read that lol I watched the video too and was like, yeah.. i did that ahah
xD
Brandon Darensburg lmao xDdd xD xD XP CX xD
EXACTLY WTF I WAS THINKING!!! GOD HE TALKS TOO MUCH.... LIKE WE KNOW HOW TO SPRAY
You know only does it to make it to 10min
You are the man. Those people at Plasti Dip should learn from YOU. They are not helpful but yours was very helpful.
Bro wet coat only the 2 or 1 last coats. Wet coat on first one will sometime get you some drips and trouble.
Only for VERTICAL situations. Horizontal has no runs...that defys gravity and newtonian liquid physics lol
great vid, I've notice just before I watch this video of someone doing their wing and I notice the result was rough. that was the first thing you addressed in this video.
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Have you already gone over tip size or pressure? What about thinning plasti dip?
To thin or not to thin? And thin with what?
awesome video i like how you get straight to the point and no tom foolery!

I used deep sea blue pearl over texture and it looks rather cool with the texture. I'll do better next time thanks for the tips.

Same here lol 😂
Warming the product is a good idea. I do this with my mascara 🤣 but it would seem you would also use less product? 🤔 Thank you!
I'm planning on dipping a plastic bumper. Do you think I need to use the plastidip primer? I also plan on using the glossifier as the last step. How many coats of glossifier are recommended? Thank you.
Thanks man! Really appreciate this video!
What does Fonzie from dipyourcar say to start with a light (not wet) "tack" coat if it introduces texture?
3 years late but it's diffferent - Fonzie is spraying an object that rests vertically
Great content, 2nd video you helped me with including the coil over adjustment video👍👍 subscribed
you sir are a smart ass man😂 and hey I'm about to start the new RUclips channel because of you👌🏻 next week hopefully, its going to be on a customers 2010 mustang and it'll be on plasti dip. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great up work and great tips!

Thin...not thing
Problem number 1: Spraying horizontally. That's how you get drips, spitting and run out of pressure with 1/4th of the can left.
How do you spray the hood?
You spray a car (hood) using a HVLP gun. A gun doesn't have the horizontal/vertical problem. You're kinda stupid if you're gonna dip your car using a aerosol can.

i used a clearance wagner from walmart for 13 bucks and it worked great. just do the proper technique and you will be fine.
thx for the tips about using a htlp gun at what air pressure would you be at for a whole car?👍thx for vids
Good day Bro, hi im Aj from Philippines- Your work is so Good!! I'd like to dip my Mirage Car Roof.. How Many Spray Cans should I Buy??
So if car is already sprayed over a week now and has some rough texture can i use this technique and go over it all and get a smooth feel to it?
By spraying "wet", do you mean just push harder on the nozzle for the spraycan? Cuz I unfortunately already made the mistake but for future would like to know.,
All well and good, but what about runs on vertical surfaces? Did this, tried multiple times with multiple nozzles and guns. Ran every time... Helppp!!!!
Thought you were supposed to go light on the plasti dip for the first coat to avoid running drips. 🙀 Nice video btw will need to do my rims like this
I like the wet coat technique but I feel like it should be we coats the last few coats. But most of the time if you spray it wet on a piece that is vertical it will run. I did this mistake costing me to do it again. Tack coat first and second coat then do wet coats. Still even finish.
SWEEET!! WHAT IS THE PERFECT DISTENCE TO SPRAY TEH PLASTI DIP FROM? AND DOSE IT CHANGE IF YOU SPRAY VERTICALLY OR HORIZENTALLY?
Thanks a lot for the tips. This is what I need to know.
You talk just like the DipYourCar guy haha. Great vid.
Please help me. I have My car dippet but the clear coat on the boot door has not been done proberly. It has a lot of texture. How do I fix this? Can i just add another few layers of wet clear coat and Hope it Will react and look nicer, pr Will i have to wet sand it before? I did 4 layers of base matte Black, 4 layers of Grey color and 2-3 layers of top clear coat.
Quick follow up. Hot dip applies much smoother..some reflection. True with Camo Green Verde and Glossifier just now applied...hot and wet.
So if we do have texture can we do another coat like this and fix it
Time to do this to my PS5 Panels
Great videos!!!! Really appreciate it.
"as you move along down, it gets wetter and wetter." It does indeed.
I did my car rims, they look matte and grainy.. how do I get them shined and deep black? More color spray or more gloss?
Great video. What size is your compressor?
Hi, I watched your video and I realized that you use a compressor very similar to mine '' air force commander 4.0hp), I want to connect a professional gun with professional compressor hose to that, as I can do? as you did?

you make it look easy

When u use the spray gun Do you mix the plastidip with anything alse?
Hi, I have to coat a 9mm Silicon hose (about 60cm in lenght). Any tips for me? Would you spray it or immerse the pice to the colour? Tanks in advance!
thank you for the very fine tutorials
great job
will use some of your tips
are you using a turbine or the dip your car sprayer?
Very helpful and informative. Thank You
+plennon3574 No problem :)
What if I already got coats that are textured could going over it wet with following coats fix that? I'm used to using regular spray paint which you want to do quick passes
Do you buy the sprayable dip for your gun or do you mix it yourself
Great video, very informative.
I wanna plasti dip the roof of my car, how many coats u suggest and how many gloss coats? I saw another video where this guy did one plasti dip coat then a gloss coat then another plasti dip coat and another glass etc... how do u recommend I do it

Basement31 I probably wouldn't do that... you'd never be able to peel it off without a solid base coat.
smooth is a texture
Cristian Espinoza exactly, I'm not even sure what he means. Is it matte? Is it glossy? I know it's uniform but his description doesn't mean anything
Lol in the end he means "matte" and he only shows the end product for like 2 secs
madtonesbr he’s referring to the rough sandpaper-like finish that you get if you do too light of coats. since it sprays out in particles, if you don’t do a heavy/wet enough coat, you see those individual particles because it’s not a think enough coat for it to self-level by filling in the gaps. then it ends up looking almost like a low grit spray bedliner.
Question: how do you spray the gloss.... I’ve heard you don’t let it dry before applying the follow up layers....
But wouldn't this just run on a vertical surface? It can self-level on a horizontal and flat surface. I don't see how it could on a vertical.
Carly Gray it works, about 6 inches away from panel and wet. The key is wet. Play with it , you will get the idea after a few tries.
Wetttttt
Idk, it doesn't seem like it it will be all that durable because you did such thick coats.. Don't you want the first cost to be light then next coat a bit thicker and so on?

Hey bro! I have a question. Some people say vinyl wrapping is better than dipping. What's your take on that?
+Hugo Gamboa Schekaiban Better, in some ways, however it is much more difficult to apply.
I put 5 coats on my hood today. It's too textured for my standards. If i put 1 wet coat on the whole thing, will it fix it or at least look somewhat better?
what gun are you using? and how much psi are you using at the gun? thanks in advance!
This video really helped! I plasti dipped some interior trim with cans and it turned out grainy. I was holding the can too far away and not putting on wet coats, I was treating it more like spray paint.
How long do you let it dry in between coats?
can you teach me how to spray roof with spray can. my problem is, the is too wide and the spray can have low pressure. i make line although i spray it for 5 coats or maybe more.
thx for reply, keep the videos coming I need all the help I can get:)
Hello Milan :)
I am from nepal and I've been using plasti dip cans and man,
It is so awesome!! 😍😍😍
Planning to be a dealer here in my country,
Wonder how you guys manage to get gallons of plasti dip since I've been using them on can sprays :(
I bought alot of spray guns and machine for paint job but, they didn't work how I imagined it to :(
Your painting good are awesome 😍😍😍
Where can I find them and how do I become a dealer for plasti dip??
Thank you Milan
Peace :)
whats a better way to spray? dyc gun or air compressor gun?
Nice video ! Could you post your HVLP setings?
hello?
Excellent tutorial!
Can you use this technique for the roof (rattle can)?
I have a small 40 gal compressor... should I buy an HLVP gun or the DYC DipSprayer?
+Larry Harris HVLP gun
Dipyourcar people say that the pds material can not be sprayed thru a hvlp gun with out thinning... do you thin yours out when you use a hvlp instead of the dyc gun?
Did you ever find an answer on this? They told me the same thing but I have seen people get great results with an hvlp gun without thinning.
Can you fix a previously sprayed texture with a few wet coats if the job is fairly recent?
Hey dude, great tips. Thanks! Question. I'm gonna plasti dip the side covers on my bikes radiator. Is this stuff heat proof (ish)? Can it handle being in close proximity to high temperatures? Thanks
Steve Febvre I think it's rated for somewhere around 300° F
