Advantages

This material has a number of advantages:

Generally, liquid rubber"Plasti Dip" is ideal material for creativity:

• You can apply this coating yourself.
• The cost of work and the material itself are not too expensive.
• After painting, you can easily return the previous color.

Analogues "Plasti Dip"

This material is unique in its kind. However, in our time there is a large number of such products. Many organizations various countries, keeping pace with the times, are engaged in the development and improvement of liquid rubber. The analogues of these products include LiquidRubberCoating, Rubber Paint, etc.

Advantages of said material over vinyl film

In this case, the following is considered:

"Plasti Dip": car painting. Step-by-step instruction

In this case, you need to do the following:

Liquid rubber spraying process

In this case, special care and scrupulousness will be required. When performing this process, the brush must be fixed so that the spray angle does not change during operation. The correct application of the specified coating depends on this. Spraying with Plasti Dip should be carried out perpendicular to the plane of the car parts, while maintaining the same distance to them. This is important in this case. Since at a large distance the surface turns out to be rough, and at too small drops are sometimes formed. The ideal location of the sprayer from the surface to be treated is 13-16 cm.

The painting process itself is easy. The main thing is to do it smoothly and slowly. First you need to take the sprayer, fix the brush and pull the trigger. This is not such a difficult action. After applying this material to the desired place, the trigger must be released, then, pressing again, paint in the opposite direction. This is done up to two or three layers of matter.

How is combined painting

The sequence of this process is as follows:

1. Initially, they begin to paint the details of the car from the rear pillar. Then smoothly move to the roof.
2. After that, you can paint the left pillar, then the trunk lid, and then back bumper car.
3. The next step in this process is from the left wing to the front door. After that, the same actions are carried out back only in the opposite direction.
4. Then they are taken to the front door.
5. Then paint the next wing with headlights.
6. The hood begins to be processed from the left side to the middle. Then the same actions are carried out on the right.
7. After that, it is necessary to paint the rear lights with a grille.
8. Then move on to the right front fender. Then paint the doors
9. are finishing this process rear wing.

This order of work makes it possible to avoid "paint spray". This is important in this process. The first coat of paint should be thin, almost transparent. If, after applying it, poorly processed areas become noticeable, then you should not worry. Subsequent layers will paint over them. At the first stage, thus, the basis is created. The starting layer is left to dry for about 40 minutes. This is optimum time. The second layer must be applied at a slower pace using the same algorithm. At this stage, you need to pay more attention to the curves and edges, handles and lines, as well as other small details of the car. After applying these layers, unpainted places may remain in some places. Transparency should be about 70%. Subsequent layers of the specified material must be applied in the same way. In general, the surface of the machine will dry for about 60 minutes. After that, it is necessary to remove the tape and excess paint "Plasti Dip". After completing this process, you must wait 12-24 hours for the coating to harden.

"Plasti Dip" (painting) retains elasticity at temperature changes from -35 to +94 degrees Celsius. In severe frosts, this coating does not crack, and in sultry heat it does not become too plastic. Plasti Dip is applied when room temperature(18-20 degrees Celsius). This is important. It must be remembered that direct sunlight and strong wind, also temperature differences will adversely affect the result of painting.

In this case, you need to know the following:

• The resulting streaks are easily removed with a towel.
• A knife or flathead screwdriver can be used to carefully remove this coating from edges and small parts.
• The gloss should be applied with slow and gentle movements close to the surface.
• To improve the adhesive properties of the material, the surface to be painted is treated with Plasti Dip primer.
• For this treatment, it is better to use the WAGNER W550 or W665 spray guns, in which the low paint supply mode is set, and the HVLP (High) system, since it has a larger volume and low pressure. In this case, the material is diluted with a solvent in a ratio of 1: 1, and the spray tank is filled half or two thirds of the volume.
• It should be remembered that when applying the specified coating, it is imperative to observe safety precautions, work using respiratory protection equipment in a well-ventilated area.

"Plasti Dip" is really profitable

With Plasti Dip coating, everyone will be able to save money that previously had to be spent on "cosmetic" repairs. The costs in this case will pay off in the first six months of operation.

Outcome

All of the above indicates that effective coating from the material "Plasti Dip", the price of which is acceptable and affordable for everyone: from 450 to 13,500 rubles, depending on the type of product and container size. Cars after this painting will always look like new. This helps to emphasize the status and prestige of any company. You can sell a car that has been treated with the specified material for quite good price. Because even after long-term operation it will look great.

"Plasti Dip" is special compound liquid rubber, which is applied with a spray gun. With it, you can cover surfaces of any complexity - from the hood and doors to disks and radiator grilles.

Advantages " Plasty Deep"

• Provides protection paintwork bodywork or rims from impact external factors, ultraviolet, salt, chemical reagents.


• The manufacturer guarantees the safety of the coating at temperature extremes from -30 to +90 degrees.


• Unlimited design possibilities. With the help of paint "Plasti Dip" you can make any metal and plastic parts which helps a lot in car tuning. Most often, with its help, the body, wheels, radiator grilles, spollers, thresholds, and headlights are painted. It is also convenient to use them to process parts inside the cabin - a panel, a steering wheel, etc.


• According to the manufacturer's annotation, the coating is distinguished by the greatest strength and abrasion resistance. The most responsible companies involved in wrapping cars with vinyl are even ready to give a guarantee for several months of operation.


• Easy dismantling. If necessary, you can easily remove liquid vinyl from the surface of the machine.

disadvantages liquid vinyl

However, before you buy Plasty Dip, you need to find out all possible information about its shortcomings. The first of them can be noticed immediately after the car wrapping with vinyl is completed. These are chips and cracks, which, contrary to expectations, still appear through the paint. To avoid this, you need to prime and putty all the cracks in advance, as it should be before any painting.

Even the slightest violation of surface preparation leads to the fact that the rubber slightly moves away from the edges. As a result, water and dirt get inside, in the cold it freezes, expands, and the coating bursts. To avoid this, you need to very carefully degrease the surface before painting. It is better to refuse pasting a car with vinyl and turn to professionals.

As the reviews show on Plasti Dip, this coating is very afraid of oil products and gasoline. You can use degreasers for this, but it is better to do without hard brushes and scrapers, otherwise you can simply tear the rubber film. And the last drawback of "Plasti Dip", common to many in general vinyl coverings- bright shades fade quickly with constant exposure to the sun.

Overview of liquid rubber Plasti Dip from Performix. What is it, how to properly apply to the surface and protection properties. Price and video review of liquid rubber.

The content of the article:

Plasti Dip is liquid rubber, as many people say rubber paint or better known as plastidip. Modern technologies painting and tuning in the direction of beauty exceed all expectations. Matte tint of the body and individual parts is becoming more and more popular. First time used matte paint, but as you know, the procedure is long and not cheap. Cheaper, but quality option- Plasti Dip liquid rubber from Performix.

In addition to a beautiful matte finish, Plasti Dip liquid rubber protects the surface well, does not let water through, protects against chips, surface abrasion and various road reagents. Let us consider in more detail the pros and cons of liquid rubber, as well as the application technology and price.

What is Plasti Dip liquid rubber

Performix's Plasti Dip liquid rubber is essentially rubber paint and can be sprayed in an aerosol can or canned like paint. The range of shades is the most diverse from dark to the brightest colors. As a rule, plastidip is applied to the car body, wheels and other solid bases, including plastic and individual parts.

Plasti Dip liquid rubber contains a special bituminous water emulsion polymer. At home, it is impossible to make such a coating, since it is necessary to withstand the technology, mix the components with a special method and prevent it from thickening before application.

The first samples of Plasti Dip liquid rubber were produced only in black, over time, but thanks to progress, now you can find any shade. When compared with a vinyl film, the price of plastidip is several times less, as is the ease of application. The most common application is plastidip. different shades, thereby forming a pattern or a multi-colored shape. Having withstood the application technology, the result will be a smooth matte surface.

What are the pros and cons of liquid rubber Plasti Dip

Like any coating, Palsti Dip liquid rubber has its pros and cons. Most often, the pros are indicated immediately, but the cons of the material are not always predictable.

Apart from beautiful coverage, which can be obtained as a result of applying Plasti Dip, liquid rubber also has protective properties. After application, a strong protective, elastic film is formed. It also protects against chips, moisture, surface abrasion, various road chemicals and paint fading.

There are many rumors that Plasti Dip liquid rubber reacts quite well to temperature changes and, as a result, loses its properties. This is all not true, according to the manufacturer, the temperature range that plastidip can withstand is from -30 to +130 degrees Celsius. But as users note, these limits are much higher, especially with regard to sub-zero temperature. According to rumors, when minus the liquid rubber Plasti Dip cracks and flakes off, but no, in the cold, the plastidip becomes even more durable and tolerates sub-zero temperatures well.

Plus temperature is also not terrible for Plasti Dip liquid rubber. Everything that a person is able to withstand, a plastidip will calmly withstand. According to rumors, high temperature Plasti Dip liquid rubber simply flows off the surface, but as practice shows, it becomes soft, elastic, but at the same time it keeps well on the surface.

Another plus of Plasti Dip liquid rubber is 100% water resistance, which means that the surface will be completely protected from water and corrosion. Considering that Plasti Dip is applied in the form of an aerosol, it can be applied to absolutely any surface, which is many times better than vinyl film or other adhesive materials.

Performix has been known for many years for the release of chemical products for cars, including Plasti Dip liquid rubber. Therefore, during this time a lot of reviews, opinions of the owners, and even more contradictions, have gathered. As they say, theory is one thing, but practice is much more important.

As they say, where there are pluses, there are also minuses. This did not pass by and liquid rubber Plasti Dip from Performix. The manufacturer indicates that plastidip is resistant to chemicals at the sink and should be washed under slight pressure. In fact, as users note, at first the plastidip is still persistent, but especially on black, grayish or white stripes begin to appear. At the same time, this is not observed on bright shades of Plasti Dip liquid rubber. As far as washing pressure is concerned, it's really best to stick with low pressure, as small scratches or chips can instantly turn into large patches.

Information was also indicated that well-liquid Plasti Dip rubber protects well from chips and scratches. Alas, different factors play here, a lot depends on the situation and strength. If, for example, we take a small sliding scratch, then there may not be any damage, but the blow will be from a sharp stone or other object, then damage cannot be avoided. Thus, it is necessary to take into account the strength of the damage and the degree of protection of the plastidip will depend on this.

Another minus is fingerprints on the surface of Plasti Dip liquid rubber. No matter how the manufacturer claims, but those who have encountered plastidip will unequivocally say that in 90% of cases the prints remain well on the surface, especially for black and bright color where you can clearly see the transition from matte to glossy shade.

The last and most controversial nuance is how long Plasti Dip liquid rubber lasts. Gasoline and all kinds of solvents are considered the main and most harmful substance for Plasti Dip liquid rubber, plastidip is simply washed off like dust.

Much depends on the surface on which the material was applied. If this is a car body, and the application technology is sustained, then it will definitely last a long time. But if you take wheel disks or bumper, which most often have a collision and the influence of different substances, then the period is significantly reduced.

It should also not be applied to a damaged surface (through crack or, worst of all, rust). Firstly, Plasti Dip liquid rubber will not adhere well, and secondly, after a while it can simply lag behind the surface. These are the main pros and cons of Plasti Dip liquid rubber. Guarantee period quality coverage plastidip up to two years.

How to properly apply Plasti Dip liquid rubber

Plasti Dip liquid rubber can be applied either manually using aerosol cans or with a spray gun. To begin with, consider the technology of applying manually using an aerosol can. As with any painting or surface treatment, the first step is to remove dust, dirt and dry, this is at least 50% of your success with Plasti Dip liquid rubber.

The surface must be perfectly dry and without the smallest dust particles, so this process is recommended to be carried out indoors. Otherwise, Plasti Dip liquid rubber will not stick to the surface or dirt and dust on the surface will be clearly visible.

About applying Plasti Dip liquid rubber with paint brush it can’t even go, because you simply ruin the car. Given the properties of Plasti Dip liquid rubber, it does not matter what color you have on the surface and what color it will be repainted. After complete drying of the surface, it is necessary to degrease it. Usually a solvent or acetone is used, this will determine how well Plasti Dip liquid rubber will stick to the surface.

An equally important step is to cover all open areas that should not be painted with Plasti Dip liquid rubber. To do this, you can use paper tape, film or pieces of paper. In a word, everything that can smoothly and without problems close certain fates that will not be painted. It should be noted that such painting does not require disassembly of individual parts of the car body. If there are even lines (moldings, glass or other evennesses), then glue them with the same even line.

If the alloy wheels of the car are being painted, then it is necessary to cover the brake discs with a film, or even better, completely remove the disc from the car and seal the rubber with a film.

Now the most crucial moment is the application of Plasti Dip liquid rubber to the surface. It is recommended to apply in several layers, at a distance of 13-16 cm from the surface, while maintaining small intervals between layers. And so, the first layer of plastidip should be of such thickness that the original shade of the surface can be seen. This will be a kind of bonding layer between the Plasti Dip liquid rubber and the surface to be applied. After processing, we wait about 15 minutes for the plastidip layer to dry out.

We apply the second layer of Plasti Dip liquid rubber, it should be so thick that the original color of the surface is not visible, but also thin enough. Subsequent coats should be slightly thicker, but don't overdo it as you may end up with a glossy finish. Spray Plasti Dip liquid rubber is best under different angles to get an even layer over the entire surface.

After applying the last layer of Plasti Dip liquid rubber, you must wait at least 30-40 minutes, and remove the excess that has fallen on the wrong surface. Those who used Plasti Dip liquid rubber, after all the procedures, are advised to leave it to dry for 24-48 hours, so the rubber will adhere well to the surface.

From the little secrets of painting with Plasti Dip liquid rubber, we can say that the closer you spray to the surface, the smoother the surface will turn out, the further you go, the more structured the surface will be. But, if you hold the spray can too far from the treated surface, then in the future such a coating will be very difficult to separate from the original surface.

Before you start applying Plasti Dip liquid rubber, practice on small area. The treated surface should not be washed immediately or cleaned for several days. Remember to hold the spray can upright, and when you're done with Plasti Dip liquid rubber left, turn the spray upside down and spray a few times on any surface. This way you can reuse the spray and it won't dry out.

An equally important temperature indicator environment, when working with Plasti Dip liquid rubber, too high or low temperature should be avoided, and it is also unacceptable high humidity air.

If, after applying Plasti Dip liquid rubber to the surface, you find damage, do not worry, it is enough to remove, clean the damaged area and re-apply the Plasti Dip to the surface, adhering to the above technology. For this reason, it is necessary to take an aerosol of Plasti Dip liquid rubber with a margin.

According to manufacturer Performix guarantee period operation of Plasti Dip liquid rubber is 1-2 years, but there are cases of a longer period. Removing liquid rubber Plasti Dip from the surface is quite easy. It is necessary to pick up any place with plastidip and pull on the formed hook.

As you can see, even an inexperienced person can apply Plasti Dip liquid rubber to any surface, it is enough to follow the technology and application rules step by step. The result is a matte surface of the selected shade.

The price of liquid rubber Plasti Dip

The price of plastidip or the more well-known Plasti Dip liquid rubber depends on the chosen container and type of application. In our case, these are aerosol cans, and it is necessary to apply manually.

In many stores, an aerosol can of Plasti Dim liquid rubber costs about 3,980 rubles, but you can buy it in an online store for 1,990 rubles, you can often take two aerosol cans for the price of one at a promotion. If you buy Plasti Dip liquid rubber in large cans, it will be ten times more expensive, for example, from $ 100 per 1 liter.

At first glance, the technology of applying Plasti Dip liquid rubber is very difficult, but after studying the whole process, everything turns out to be much simpler. Therefore, it is worth carefully reviewing the stages of work and once again try to apply Plasti Dip liquid rubber on a small surface on your own.
