Mr Brown Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What about giving the chrome trim a rub with wet and dry or something to give the paint something better to stick to?Thats what i did and the primer stays put, i just did not lacquer it so the black chips off but gonna redo it properly with lacquer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What about giving the chrome trim a rub with wet and dry or something to give the paint something better to stick to?Is what I did too. With no clear coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brown Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think there is a lesson to be learnt to all us people who sprayed.. USE CLEARCOAT/LACQUER and plenty of it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I used primer as well and lacquer, only one coat though, I think maybe 4 or 5 are called for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Mmm, I will have a think. I just don't trust plasti-dip, the stuff sounds too good to be true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm planning of buying a few rattle cans of plastidip in the next few months when money allows so I'll report back when I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3gdean Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 rated for longevity 1 wrapped...some coloured wraps will fade ie reds and yellow, wraps can be very susceptible to chemicals like wheel cleaner and mark easily (super resin polish is a ***** on plastics and wraps) 2 painted properly, done with an etch primer, 2k/epoxy primer, colour coat and 2k lacquer. Im a painter by trade, and this is what ill be doing. 3/4plastidip/hairyarsehole(aerosol) plastidip is a gimmick product not made to last, good for a one off show. itll chip, youll wash your car and the lot will peel. Aerosol, im still yet to try the 2k aerosols (tins with a seperate hardner) and i presume would last, these are not as cheap as 1k aerosols which are prone to chemicals, chip easily can go back soft with heat...............i hate them.
