FAQ
• How long does Plasti Dip last? If properly applied, Plasti Dip will last as long as 3 years without having to be retouched. It is very durable and will not lose it's bond. The spray distance when applying as well as the amount of coats applied will heavily determine the longevity of the product. After 3 years, or during the three years if desired, a new refresher coat can be easily applied.
• Will it hold up to the elements (sun, winter)? Plasti Dip is extremely resistant to the elements, including sun exposure, winter ice, cold, salt etc. A lot of customers actually dip their wheels and cars specifically to protect the original surfaces from the winter season. Please keep in mind however that Fluorescent and Blaze products are subject to fading after prolonged UV exposure. This only happens with these two items due to the fluorescent pigments utilized.
• Will it hold up to heat and racing? Plasti Dip is heat resistant up to 200 degrees F. Dipped wheels have a great record holding up to the heat and abuse from racing or rally events.
• How does Plasti Dip hold up to petrol? Plasti Dip is a solvent based coating and does not hold up to petrol! Please be careful when filling your tank or working with petrol around a dipped surface.
• Does it really peel off? Yes, Plasti Dip really does peel off. We always use a minimum of 7-8 coats, not only for durability, but to make sure it peels off in large pieces when you are ready. It will peel off even after a long period of time - however after extreme lengths of time (8-12 months), it may dry out a bit and come off in smaller pieces.
