Spiff Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Friend of mine and I went in on a case of Plastidip, decided to give it a shot on the viffer! Turned out pretty good, the rear tire doesn't match perfectly but I think it looks pretty good. Might get to the front tire next, a lot of hardware to remove though.

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted June 2, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted June 2, 2014 Will it work on the rads? specifically the color you used on the passenger pegs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Will it work on the rads? specifically the color you used on the passenger pegs... Eh, no. You can use regular satin black, or textured satin black spray paint though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 No, plastidip is good durable stuff, but it's one downfall is heat. Any area that is in contact with head melts it right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer TheJay Posted June 2, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted June 2, 2014 I did my whole bike black and it looked really good. I'm thinking of ordering blue and giving it a shot. It's nice to be able to change your color with ease. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiff Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Yeah, it's also really cheap to do. One can of red did the rear tire, missed the other side, but it was still only 9 bucks. Way cheaper than a new rim or painted rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfr350 Posted June 3, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted June 3, 2014 The peg brackets look alright but the red wheel doesnt match well ( think that was stated) unless you plan on spraying over the red plastic the same. Just my opinion, never seen plastidippaint in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayarearider Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 If those Dipped wheels survive the chain grease/lube and cleaning, I will be shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 We will see if they do, and yes it was stated it doesn't match. Kind of hard to match but I still think it looks pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5stephn Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think plastidip is worth trying since it is inexpensive and can be removed easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
