DipTips: Spraying PlastiDip Without Texture
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- In this video, I show you how to spray PlastiDip with both aerosol can and a professional grade HVLP gun. Everyone can spray an aerosol can, but not everyone knows how to spray it while leaving a perfectly smooth finish. By the end of this video, hopefully you will have the skills to do exactly that.

Great video! Was messing with some plasti-dip and some emblems, had a rough surface. Your tips address my issues!
Well hello there Jason! Did you ever make a video of you dipping your emblems?
"That's enough talking for now, let's get started."
Immediately starts talking.
+Brandon Darensburg Ahaha I actually died when I read that lol I watched the video too and was like, yeah.. i did that ahah
xD
Brandon Darensburg lmao xDdd xD xD XP CX xD
EXACTLY WTF I WAS THINKING!!! GOD HE TALKS TOO MUCH.... LIKE WE KNOW HOW TO SPRAY
You know only does it to make it to 10min
Bro wet coat only the 2 or 1 last coats. Wet coat on first one will sometime get you some drips and trouble.
Only for VERTICAL situations. Horizontal has no runs...that defys gravity and newtonian liquid physics lol
The comments here helped me more than the video. Saved me
facts
Watched this after I messed up 😂
wth😂
Same here lol 😂
I thought you where supposed to start with light coats
Great video dude. You really expanded on the spraying "wet" concept. I was definitely spraying too lightly, but when it comes out of the sprayer, it's "wet" so I didn't really think there was a difference. Someone just saying "you have to put down wet coats" doesn't really mean anything to a noob like myself since it's already a wet product! Thanks for breaking it down!!
I used your method, to paint my bumper, and it turned out perfect. Thanks for your technique! 👍💯💯
What does Fonzie from dipyourcar say to start with a light (not wet) "tack" coat if it introduces texture?
3 years late but it's diffferent - Fonzie is spraying an object that rests vertically
great stuff, Milan thanks.....one question.....if I already have texture in my PlastiDip wheels, can I continue with wet coats to get a smooth finish, or do I need to peel off all the old stuff and start from scratch?
There is probably a point of no return. Worth a replication trial to see.
I followed this procedure (after years of light coat recommendation videos) and I can honestly say I'm VERY impressed with the results on my 06 eclipse front bumper. Thanks sick dips! I learned something new watching this vid. Side note: I did my bumper the same last year with light coats and took it off after a couple months because I wasn't fully satisfied. QUICK TIP: spray the edges of the tape a couple minutes (maybe 1) before removing the tape, makes for some crispy lines. Careful with the dust. Good video, well documented. Thanks again for the help
I think its all depend on the surface you spary. If you spraying on flat surface of course this technique is better. But if you spray on rim with many edges and corners then thick coat will build up runs and drip on that part.
Warming the product is a good idea. I do this with my mascara 🤣 but it would seem you would also use less product? 🤔 Thank you!
Time to do this to my PS5 Panels
great vid, I've notice just before I watch this video of someone doing their wing and I notice the result was rough. that was the first thing you addressed in this video.
LOVE the video!!!!! Other videos I’ve watched gives just the opposite advice put it on REALLY lightly in 20 coats! Yours looked WAYYYYY nicer!
I’m gonna subscribe to your channel so I’m sorry if you’ve already did a video on this but have you used their “Glossifier”? I wanna paint my car but I don’t really want it to be a matte finish.
Idk, it doesn't seem like it it will be all that durable because you did such thick coats.. Don't you want the first cost to be light then next coat a bit thicker and so on?
+Breaking rc It doesn't matter if you spray 30 super light coats or 5 super thick coats. 1 can of plastidip is 1 can of plastidip. Same thing goes for gallons. It doesn't matter the amount of coats you do, it goes by the volume of plastidip you spray. I hope this makes sense :)
+Sick Dips oh that does make sense, I'm just confused why people say don't do thick coats, they always say do the first coat light, then build up from there, and I watched this video before I painted my front grill and I have to admit it was very smooth as far as plasti dip goes. :) you can check out the pic on my Instagram page @breaking_rc
So if I already put a few coats and it's slightly textured can I just finish with a wet coat. Or do I need to peel off and start over. I currently have 5 coats on .
Yo keep it up bro yr young and look and sound very professional keep it up bro that was one of the better videos I've watched
There is a bit of an art to working with this stuff....as I'm starting to find out 🤣🤣
I did the mirror caps on my car yesterday....deliberated removing the caps first but as at least one of the caps has some broken clips I was concerned if break them getting them off so decided to do them in situ.
Masked them off using proper 3M tape and also masked off what I thought would prevent over spray.......needless to say it turned out a bit disastrous.
The weather cooled, there was a light breeze and I began to run out of light, I didn't know about warming the cans either so the product went on too thickly and left a mottled finish. Also the fallout from the spray went all over the car so its now covered in over spray and plastidust....apart from where I masked off. I know it will come off but not looking forward to having to do it....might try the WD40 method if it proves too difficult.
I am going to warm the can and add 2 or three thick coats on each cap (assuming the remaining can will go the distance) and hopefully will then have a smooth finish. I will then add glossifier to finish it off at some point.
So advice to anyone trying this.....
If in colder condition/climate warm the cans (102f/38c about right), it doesnt atomise properly for a smooth finish otherwise.
Be sure to mask up properly.....the stuff literally gets everywhere particularly if there is any sort of breeze. Again it's not the problem it would be with regular paint but it will save you some cleanup effort afterwards.
If you are going to go the rattle can route consider getting a pistol grip for your cans, at least for the final coats. Having to press the nozzle whilst workable isnt comfortable and I dont think contributes to a decent finish.
Really and truthfully, I probably shouldn't have cheapskated and just gotten two new caps and had them painted but if I can get a decent final finish and it lasts a few years I'll be happy.
Problem number 1: Spraying horizontally. That's how you get drips, spitting and run out of pressure with 1/4th of the can left.
How do you spray the hood?
You spray a car (hood) using a HVLP gun. A gun doesn't have the horizontal/vertical problem. You're kinda stupid if you're gonna dip your car using a aerosol can.
Cilvagold you can't do a wet first coat like this guy did in the video on a vertical sheet of metal. It'll run. Even Fonzi from DYC doesn't tell you to do a wet first coat. A wet coat on bare metal won't adhere properly. You can only do wet coats as follow up coats because the solvents in the sprayed medium melt the exiting fresh substrate and give it hold. This kid got fish eyes in his first coat and he solved them by just laying it on heavier. That's not going to have good adhesion.
All well and good, but what about runs on vertical surfaces? Did this, tried multiple times with multiple nozzles and guns. Ran every time... Helppp!!!!
But wouldn't this just run on a vertical surface? It can self-level on a horizontal and flat surface. I don't see how it could on a vertical.
Carly Gray it works, about 6 inches away from panel and wet. The key is wet. Play with it , you will get the idea after a few tries.
Wetttttt
I was getting some bumps in mine with dusting method, switched to wet like this video, and a hood scoop I was playing with came out smooth as silk... Great tip.
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Have you already gone over tip size or pressure? What about thinning plasti dip?
To thin or not to thin? And thin with what?
REALLY??? "It doesn't matter what you use," to apply the plastic-dip.... I can only say that you obviously don't know what your talking about, --- as the evidence is even apparant in the aerosol-can coat to that put on by the spray gun. Despite that it's a matte- or flat-black, when it comes to the truth and reality of applications, the 'flatter' you can get the paint to lay down initially, the better the finish you'll have, period.
To say that it doesn't matter what is used for application, and just try to compensate by or with 'wet-coating', is seemingly deliberately ignorant of well and long known knowledge that - that is just not true. Sure you can "flow-coat" a horizontal panel (and even a verticle one too); however such technique is meant (stating liberally), to level out imperfections created or caused by 'slight' improper gun settings, improper mixing of coating, improper application technique, or surface prep imperfections, and NOT a means by which you can fix-all, much less a way to use as an application method at all.
That's especially so with the absence of a "tack-coat," that of which you so adamantly explain will provide the basis for a "texture[ed]" result....that of which if you knew what you were talking about then you'd know that after a fast track coat you can apply a subsequent heavier, and even heavier third coat, in order to let the paint or coating to 'flow-out' or level.
Perhaps you should be more learned before representing your hypothesis on how these coatings works.... especially in light of the fact that insomuch as these 'plastic-dip' coatings are not as engrossed or complicated as true protective coatings [nomenclature: paints], they nonetheless have scientists developing the compositions and application techniques --- that of which I'm sure differ from your so advanced techniques.
Wisest words I was ever told when young and learning what I liked in life (auto restoration and mechanics), was to "shut your mouth and open your eyes and ears!" Had I not listened to that I would have advanced to the level I have ---- that of which I have not had one job or complaint in over 16 years of the last 35 that I've been engrossed in this work.
Just some food for thought, Kiddo.
I have a Computer Science midterm tomorrow morning but I don't know why I'm sitting here watching this clip
ran out of plastidip half way through blacking out the chrome around the windows lol
Please help me. I have My car dippet but the clear coat on the boot door has not been done proberly. It has a lot of texture. How do I fix this? Can i just add another few layers of wet clear coat and Hope it Will react and look nicer, pr Will i have to wet sand it before? I did 4 layers of base matte Black, 4 layers of Grey color and 2-3 layers of top clear coat.
Thanks for the vid man - had a question though. I found it funny that you recommend basically doing what Fonzie at DYC doesn't recommend...that is going heavy on the first coat? In his instructional vids he recommends doing light coats and building up the layers slowly? Just curious, as your finish seems to come out great with no texture. Do they heavy coats seem to just work better for you?
+NickBen11 I find that you can do it thick from the very first coat and you will not get texture with it. If his way works for you, by all means do that, but this is how I get it to work. :)
Before you peel that plastic Dip off start with one of the corners and take a hairdryer and heat it up I’m saying start with like you know just a little section that way you can figure out because I never did it but plasty dip I would always use a hairdryer on taking decals off stuff you buy from the store and they got the prices with the stickers on there and when you pee The stickers off they don’t come off real good and then you’re you got a mess and people say use ice cubes and what it but it’s just a pain if you just heat it up I was trying to show my wife one day she don’t never listen to me she was trying to use ice so I said here give me a push prescription bottle or vitamin bottle and I use the hairdryer and you might have to heat more then once I wanna vitamin bottle because like you’re heating it up and as you’re peeling it and if it gets a little cold and as you’re peeling you can tell it’s not gonna be easy anymore you can tell right away when you go to heat it back up so you can finish and not have a mess 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Well explained and demonstrated. Great job man.
Why would the Plasti dip instructions tell you to light dust if you get superior results with wet coats? Doesn't make any sense.
you left out the part if you want it to permanently stick. also is spraying from a gun the same as the can and no thinning required. my biggest problem i have unable to find is permanent sticking it to stainless steel besides using plasti dip primer. they claim you can use any acrylic automotive primer except rustoeum. for a more permanent adhesion. i get the wet. they sold me glossy plasti dip in a spray can. but my concern is the permanent bonding part over stainless steel. and the proper steps to do so if possible. ?
Just did this on my car hood and I followed every single step you did but I get lines. I put on a lot of layers. Please help
Hear the can sputtering? Lol! That's because plasti dip cans nor any aerosol type paint cans are designed to be sprayed horizontally!
I should of watched this vid before spraying the hood and roof of my car, it has texture in some spots and others are really smooth. :/
watched it before and still got tons of texture. heated up cans too. the truth is a can is only good for about half. then it sputters everywhere.
sublyme29 yeah, good thing is it peels right off lol next time should be better
SubieruFann yes same here for me!
Wrap it if your doin big stuff like that. Build your car nice not cheap man
SubieruFann did you use cans or a spray gun? I wanna do my hood,roof, & possibly trunk, but I’ve been debating using the gallons with a spray gun (assuming my uncle lets me borrow his lol) or just using a shit load of cans, cuz I know everyone says the cans are just for rims, emblems,& that kinda shit but I’ve seen people pull off hoods an shit only using cans that actually came out pretty decent so I’m torn lol
So if we do have texture can we do another coat like this and fix it
How long do you let it dry in between coats?
What's in the predip spray?
You do realize orange peel is a texture...right?
See guys? This is how it’s done.
Every dyc video says to lay it very light first and then put on one final couple of wet coats... so how is it supposed to be?
+Marco Vinicio It all depends on the person and technique. everyone does it different.
I'd do what Fonzie says.
thanks for this video. genius...absolutely genius. has DYC seen this? because they DEFINITELY tell you to start with that thin layer at the beginning, which is wack.
Also, one other question: do you think it's necessary to use their prep solution? I've seen some people use rubbing alcohol instead...thoughts?
As a professional painter watching him with that HVLP gun was painful. Id be fired if i sprayed at an angle like that.
Great vid bro, what size of tip do you use in the hvlp gun???? I don’t mean to be rude by all means but I need to know ASAP since the project I have time is a factor. Thank you
3 years ago, I've applied plastidip spray on my front bumper, but it wasn't finished well as I expected(texture,orange peel).So I have purchased 'Dip dissolver' a year later, but I haven't tried it.
Yesterday, after washing my car, I started to remove ugly orange peeled black matte black plastidip with Dip dissolver following by instruction video.
I applied enough amount of dissolver onto area over 3 times to make sure it melt down then tried to wash out with garden hose.. However, it did not come off. So I tried to wipe it off with fiber towel, it looks more ugly, like stinky gunk wont come off.
Now, I don't know what should I do. Please help. (how about re-spray plastidip thick wet coat again over the compromised residue?)
awesome video i like how you get straight to the point and no tom foolery!
Great video. What size is your compressor?
Sorry guys.... I'm french and i dont understand what "painting wet" des mean.... What is the différences...??
By spraying "wet", do you mean just push harder on the nozzle for the spraycan? Cuz I unfortunately already made the mistake but for future would like to know.,
You still have texture
how much coverage can i can covers
smooth is a texture
Cristian Espinoza exactly, I'm not even sure what he means. Is it matte? Is it glossy? I know it's uniform but his description doesn't mean anything
Lol in the end he means "matte" and he only shows the end product for like 2 secs
madtonesbr he’s referring to the rough sandpaper-like finish that you get if you do too light of coats. since it sprays out in particles, if you don’t do a heavy/wet enough coat, you see those individual particles because it’s not a think enough coat for it to self-level by filling in the gaps. then it ends up looking almost like a low grit spray bedliner.
Hello Milan :)
I am from nepal and I've been using plasti dip cans and man,
It is so awesome!! 😍😍😍
Planning to be a dealer here in my country,
Wonder how you guys manage to get gallons of plasti dip since I've been using them on can sprays :(
I bought alot of spray guns and machine for paint job but, they didn't work how I imagined it to :(
Your painting good are awesome 😍😍😍
Where can I find them and how do I become a dealer for plasti dip??
Thank you Milan
Peace :)
I'm planning on dipping a plastic bumper. Do you think I need to use the plastidip primer? I also plan on using the glossifier as the last step. How many coats of glossifier are recommended? Thank you.
But what if you dipping rims and you do a wet coat? Won’t you have dripping? Anyone? I need help
Good day Bro, hi im Aj from Philippines- Your work is so Good!! I'd like to dip my Mirage Car Roof.. How Many Spray Cans should I Buy??
Sir, thank you so much for this video!!! I've been looking for months to see if it is absolutely necessary to by their (DYC's) little compressor. So glad you proved that the compressor I already have can be used!!! Thank you!! What's the best pressure setting to use???
Hi, I have to coat a 9mm Silicon hose (about 60cm in lenght). Any tips for me? Would you spray it or immerse the pice to the colour? Tanks in advance!
Question: how do you spray the gloss.... I’ve heard you don’t let it dry before applying the follow up layers....
What if I already got coats that are textured could going over it wet with following coats fix that? I'm used to using regular spray paint which you want to do quick passes
You talk just like the DipYourCar guy haha. Great vid.
Nice video kid should've watched this video before dipping my grill looks like shit
I didn't see a respirator in your video. Was your doctor able to peel the plastidip off your lungs ?
🤡
Mask / respirator?
Still got bubbles 😢
What song is your outro ! Also love your video great tips for my upcoming weekend project.
You are the man. Those people at Plasti Dip should learn from YOU. They are not helpful but yours was very helpful.
I put 5 coats on my hood today. It's too textured for my standards. If i put 1 wet coat on the whole thing, will it fix it or at least look somewhat better?
i used a clearance wagner from walmart for 13 bucks and it worked great. just do the proper technique and you will be fine.
can you teach me how to spray roof with spray can. my problem is, the is too wide and the spray can have low pressure. i make line although i spray it for 5 coats or maybe more.
"A piece of shiiit"
I totally didn't go wet enough and started with two very tacky layers. So after glossifyer I have a textured finish that isn't what I like. Now I know what went wrong, thanks man!
I did my car rims, they look matte and grainy.. how do I get them shined and deep black? More color spray or more gloss?
When using the hvlp sprayer, do you thin the gallons from DYC? I was told by DYC to further thin the gallons for an hvlp gun, but I have watched videos of people having success without thinning.
SWEEET!! WHAT IS THE PERFECT DISTENCE TO SPRAY TEH PLASTI DIP FROM? AND DOSE IT CHANGE IF YOU SPRAY VERTICALLY OR HORIZENTALLY?
Quick follow up. Hot dip applies much smoother..some reflection. True with Camo Green Verde and Glossifier just now applied...hot and wet.
plastidip recommends not to use aerosol cans on horizontal surfaces. what do you think?
Hi great video thanks. Have you ever attemted clearcote plastidip on a wrists watch bezel to protect it from scratches?
Fantastically helpful video, thank you so much!
I like the wet coat technique but I feel like it should be we coats the last few coats. But most of the time if you spray it wet on a piece that is vertical it will run. I did this mistake costing me to do it again. Tack coat first and second coat then do wet coats. Still even finish.
I spent an entire day looking for advanced Plastidip tips. This video was the BEST BY FAR. REALLY GOOD INFO
“Hey its fonzie from dipyourcar.com”
cross hatching helps even the coats as well. also, sanding with 6000 grit wet between coats , and tack cloth between coats to remove all dust particles is important.
I wanna plasti dip the roof of my car, how many coats u suggest and how many gloss coats? I saw another video where this guy did one plasti dip coat then a gloss coat then another plasti dip coat and another glass etc... how do u recommend I do it
You're saying the opposite from Fonzy, from dipyourcar.com
Lil Fonzie
No runs eve with that thick coat?
what if your car is dipped and it has texture after it's dry. how do you smooth it out. can you just pay a thicker couple of coats and it will smooth out?
Can you fix a previously sprayed texture with a few wet coats if the job is fairly recent?
So would I do a light coat first if I'm spraying hubcaps?
now you started off with wet coats. DYC recommends first and 2nd coat to be light and then start wet coats. whats the best option here. trying to spray the entire car
so how many heavy wet coats do u recommend? do you recommend using glossifier?
3 days ago I tried plastidipping my 2012 Charger grill and it came out horrible. Texture everywhere, not smooth or shiny at all😕
+Chavita Franco Well if you decide to give it another shot, try following my techniques :)
+Sick Dips Okay I will do it one of these days again. Thanks for the advice (:
Okay sounds good!! No problem :)
Hi, I watched your video and I realized that you use a compressor very similar to mine '' air force commander 4.0hp), I want to connect a professional gun with professional compressor hose to that, as I can do? as you did? What precautions should I take? the compressor will endure? I need your help. Thank you !
+Dip In I only use that 'compressor' to blow water off of cars. I dont use that to paint. I have an actual compressor like this to paint (see the link). The air force commander pushes air, it does not compress it like a compressor to pump up a tire.
My compressor is like a much bigger version of this: www.amazon.com/PORTER-CABLE-C2002-Oil-Free-Pancake-Compressor/dp/B000O5RO1Y/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1447462172&sr=8-16&keywords=compressor
Bro loved your video very helpful, I did have a question. What would your suggest for a project that has curved edges? Please contact me at your earliest convenience thankbyou
False, a few base coats that are not wet will not result in texture. Any wet coat is going to level, hence why its called a wet coat.
How many gallons is your air compressor??
+Al3x201228 I have a couple. You will want at least a 60 gallon air compressor when painting a vehicle. Ideally, you should get an 80 and not have to worry about it.
my problem with this video is that it doesn't tell you the ACTUAL important points.
Number one! Get a big compressor, as soon as he started spraying the compressor started. DO NOT USE A COMPRESSOR THAT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR AN HVLP!!
Number 2 Small pieces are really easy, start small.
Number 3 Paint is not an exact science, don't go thinking you will get the same results. Also he doesn't show you how to adjust the hvlp to get a nice flow. get a piece of cardboard and try a test before you even consider starting.
Number 4 don't go out and buy a $400 sata hvlp, start with the home depot and harbor freight hvlp. Work your way up.
Other than that it should help a lot of people
