Just out of interest has any one out there tried spray cans of plasti dip on the interior parts of their car

No not on the interior but I am contemplating pulling the trigger on mat black my kidney grills with this product.

Not used it myself but alot of people have and said it was phenomenol!
Ive only used on exterior

The rubbery texture is perfect for certain areas e.g. door handled etc but make sure you apply a thicker coat to regularly used areas to ensure it lasts!

I was thinking of the door handle also the steering wheel trim

I was a little skeptical at first with blacking out my kidney grills with Plastidip. Initially, I wanted to just purchase the gloss black one from BMW.

Anyway, I brought myself to trying the Plastidip and now I'm completely in love with the look. I still have enough left in the can so if the color fades, I'll just re-spray it. Let's see how well it'll hold up during the winter.

I purchased a few cans from Frost Automotive a few months ago and had a go on one of my scratched aluminium trim finishers, once done the result looked okay but I wasn't convinced, but the great bonus with plastidip is the ease in which it can be removed it just peels off with mess.

Key I found was smooth light coats it manages to cover when you've got the hang of it very evenly mistakes unlike paint are easy to rectify, it's simply a great product but on the interior on reflection personally it wasn't for me.

i have used it loads of times,great stuff ,easy to use

did the grills on the audi's and some of the badges

I done my steering wheel trim. You know the bit that looks like its plasti dipped. Looks original though mine has started to peel in places where I have caught it with my nail. Does a good job if the original stuff is peeling. Seen guys paint whole cars and wheels with this stuff but if it peels inside the cars I don't fancy it's chances on the outside.

This Lambo was plastidrip, it looks pretty clean. You can see the plastidrip logo at :34 second.

Forget the plastidip tie up got a second that video must of made that little girls day, what an epic gesture for a good cause. Pleasure watching it

My brother offers complete car spraying using this product. Pm me for details, he's just murdered out an x5 looked awesome.

What colour did you do the steering wheel trim? I'm guessing gunmetal grey is the closest one to OEM look?

[Brian mc21]

Done it in black which is the colour it was originally.

I would go with vinyl over plastidip as far as interior pieces. I do a lot of plastidip work and it pretty messy stuff. Vinyl lays flatter and looks way better. Same with exterior with the exception of the kidneys. Those need to be dipped.

what exactly do you mean by go over with vinyl

[shadow191]

If you have peeling interior trim, you can cover it with vinyl vs. plastidip. I've had to wrap my door handles and a few other pieces with vinyl. It will be more durable and won't tear like Plastidip can. The texture is also better IMO. 3M satin black is almost a perfect match for the OEM soft plastic.

but it never moulds round curves as well as Plasti-dip will, and will peel over time so its swings & roundabouts anyway.

Pros and cons to everything. I've tucked the vinyl under the steering wheel trim and shift plate so no edges to peel up. On the door handle, it is wrapped almost to the bottom of the well area so fingers won't touch the edge. I've generally found that as long as there is no constant contact with edges on vinyl, it won't lift. Vinyl won't wrap around curves as well as paint, but there isn't anywhere on the interior that curves so much that vinyl won't conform.

Plastidip is much easier to apply though.

Vinyl wont wrap around curves??? Who's installing it. I wrap cars for a living. Cars have far more curves than and interior and I have had cars from 3 years ago turn up to book a new colour and not one panel has peeled. Plastifip is good. But its not durable. It gets damaged far too easy. Exterior is not that bad but inside where fingers and bag and things being pushed up against it it wont last long at all.

Full car dips also bewilder me. If you damage a panel of vinyl you can peel it of and start again. With dio you cant. It need to blended just like paint or else it wont look right. And as its durablitly is less than satisfactory youll be resoraying in no time. Iv seen it a few time recently and I ended up wrapping those cars as dip isnt even strong enough for a tescos run.

(Also the vid above is moving. If I had all the money in the world id be treating fighters like her all day everyday. Brave kid)

You've just answered your own question. your avarage DIY'er on here won't wrap cars for a living, most of them, like myself, are Have a go hero's & I can safley say Plasti dip is a lot easier to work with than wrapping, curves arent an issue.

[CustomColours]

Admittedly it pains me to say your right!!! There I said it!! Lol.

To be honest I must had a knack for it as the firat thing I wrapped was my mums 911. It went on a sinchand is still on ther years and years later. But suppose when people arent that way inclined its a bit harder.

Id still persevere with vinyl pursinally as the panels will be damaged in no time.

But that said I do love a bit of plastidip. My jcw years ago was blacked out soley using it. So not knocking it entirely.
