- The color is BLURPLE (part# 11268-6) which is a combination of blue and purple premixed in aerosol form. Plastidip is great because the finish is strong and removable and it stops reflections off of the glass, I highly recommend it for aquariums. This is a 29gallon aquarium I setup for my loaches but I pretty much do all of my aquariums in plastidip. Hope you all enjoyed the vid!
Gonna be doing white with white sand for my discus tank.
Hi, sounds like an awesome choice. Best of luck.
Looks great, wish I knew this before I set my tank up.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you. I was already planning on using Plasti-Dip but this video helped me out. I painted a 20 Gallon Long reptile tank for my corn snake that is almost a year old. I painted the back, left, and right sides with black. Once it dries I'll be making some custom reptile hides for him. Thank you again.
I could not decide blud or black, so I got a can of both. First coat with blue, then black, then blue, then black. The tank looks very different, but I really like it.
Hi, that sounds pretty awesome. Glad you like it, thanks for watching.
nice job, i was thinking of blue as well, looks great
Marcin Siwek Hi, yeah plasti dip is great. It's super strong and doesn't peel. I can't wait to try different colors. So far I've done black, black cherry, camo green, blurple and blackblue. Every one of them has been awesome.
Was wanting to use the Black and Blue. Saw it goes on black mostly. Do you notice the blue?
Looks good! Depending on the Tank I get I’ll be doing this, Blue as well 👍🏼
Awesome, plasti dip is great. I'm sure you'll dig it. Thanks for watching.
Man, love that blurple. Nice tank. Dude, have you ever considered switching to pool filter sand? I think you'd love how it looks compared to gravel.
Nice bro thanks for sharing I thought about this too but never did it didn’t want to use paint like u said don’t want it no more peel it off with the plastic dip
Hey yeah you should try it out, it's a nice fun little project. Honestly plasti dip is super great as a background. It reduces glare, stops light bleed from behind, is durable, and 100% easy removal (as long as you sprayed it thick enough). Anyways, thanks for watching.
What is that you have swimming in there? Loaches?
Great vid, interesting.
I get best results painting with the tank’s back facing up (no chance for drips)
Hi, you know I never really thought of doing that, it's a great tip. I'll try it out sometime, thanks for watching.
LOL BZO targets have their uses😎🤙
That looks awesome brother!!! But, 7 coats.....holy crap! My finger would cramp up having to mash the nozzle so much....LOL
Thanks, it seems like a lot but it's needed to get full coverage on the glass. My main tank sits in front of 2 large windows and when the sun peaks a little light bleeds through from the back and it kinda bothers me so lesson learned haha. Now multiple coats on that 6 footer was making my forearms cramp up super bad lol. Thanks for watching man.
How does the color compare between video and real life???
Hi how many tanks will one tin do that size tank, thanks
How come your plastidip didn't drip down below...tried to do the same (with Black color) and the liquid would drip in every coat!
Try white , gives it a better look 👍🏻
:)
7.99?! I know that's USD but damn, here in Canada it's $25 CAD a can lol...
Oh wow! $25 is just nuts man. I really just wait to stock up when they're on sale. I love the finish and how strong it sticks to the glass, it's super tough. Thanks for watch, new vids coming soon.
Would one can be enough for the Aqueon 65? The tank that you reviewed that leaked? Lol. I got a great deal for the tank and stand at 250 and definitely want to plastidip the back instead of painting. But like Mark says, one can is 25 bucks here in Canada? Crazy.
@@cjs033 Hey sorry for the late reply, this one must have slipped my radar. I'm sure you've probably already sprayed it but I think you could do it with 2 cans, I believe I used 2 and a half cans just to make sure that the plasti dip was nice and thick. Remember more semi-wet coats are always better for plasti dip aquarium backgrounds. Thanks for watching.
That's not good advice. You do thin coat's not heavy one's. And should let it dry 3-5 min in between coat's.
Hi, so that's normally true for paint and such but plastidip is definitely an exception to this as it is basically a liquid rubber coating. Doing it this way will achieve the following.
-Finish will look perfect from the front
-Plastidip will remain strongly bonded to itself and glass
-It will be super easy to peel off as one whole piece (if so desired)
