What about applying something over the plasti-dip to make it more permanent? I'm thinking clear acrylic sealer.

I guess I can't plastidip my exhaust :|

I found out something about Plasti-Dip today while trying to keep my new #3 injector from leaking - gasoline dissolves it.

I guess I could spray polyurethane it to try and make it solvent proof. Has anyone tried anything else to make it more durable? Dissolved by petroleum products is bad for automotive purposes.

Well you always could just goo the ever living **** out of it with RTV.

Or stop being a lazy *** and take off the damn injector and replace the seal.

I will be honest, I didn't see sealant as one of its uses, but I may not have tried that one hard enough.

Gasoline isn't good for clearcoat either, but we still clearcoat cars. I think it does its job fine. What I mean is if I have to worry about gasoline eating away the plastidip'd stuff in my car, then I probably have much bigger problems to worry about lol.

Don't plastidip your fuel filler assembly, and fix any of your fuel leaks you may have. Problem solved! Otherwise fuel and petroleum products should never come in contact with any part of your car.

Just trying to get an Idea of how far this stuff goes. How many cans did it take to do your wheels? Nice car BTW.

If your trying to seal something, Flex Seal might be a better option. It's that rubber spray stuff they sell on TV.

I was considering just painting my wheels I scratched, but after seeing this I am going to try plasti-dip http://www.plastidip.com/home_soluti...Your_Color_Kit

One can was enough to do 3-4 coats on a 6"x18"x.125" steel plate both sides.

I'm Plasti-Dipping my front mazda badge right now. Couldn't get the badge off the car, so instead I put 3"x5" cards under the badge. Hoping it will work but if it doesn't and I have to actually spend time getting the badges off thats ok. Pix up soon.

A couple of my buddies have done their wheels in Plasti-dip. It sucks up corrosive brake dust (Hawks, especially, likely any race pads that dust heavily) and turns splotchy grey pretty quick. If you use parts store pads it shouldn't be a problem, though.

painted wheels on track don't seem to work from what I have seen. I have never tried it personally, but I have seen two cars heat up their brakes enough to peel and bubble the paint in the center.

I guess you could use engine or header paint instead.

Real paint isn't a problem. Almost every wheel on the market (including 6ULs) are painted from the factory. As long as you're not talking about spray paint you shouldn't have an issue. Plasti-dip just doesn't get along with lots of really nasty brake dust is all I was saying.

Plasti-Dip is also dissolved by gasoline.

I am talking about spraying it on. Plasti-dip is pretty much a "competitor" or alternative to spray paint. Spray on colored rubber.

Holy ****. You thought I was trying to seal my injector with plasti-dip? Jesus Christ.

The Plasti-dip is on my radiator shroud that covers the gap over the AC condenser. Gasoline dripped on it and instantly dissolved it.

No, I did not plasti-dip my motherfucking fuel injectors

The injector is sealed. It ate 4 o-rings but now it's sealed. My car even runs ...
