Applied to a clean surface it will last 1-3 years if not more.

I use my stocks for winter and decided to paint them black and went with plasti dip. I also have plasti dip on the front H emblem and the middle part of the lower front bumper since August 2012. The dip is still in perfect condition.


This was taken last week at the car wash. I dipped the wheels early August 2012 and they're still in great condition. I also went thru the car wash a few times since i dipped the wheels and the dip is still intact. I did 5 layers.


These 2 pictures might not be as good since i was driving in the snow but its a closer look.

Nice! I'm so motivated to do it now! I'd like to have white centre caps with a red H logo. How should I go about doing that? Should I try and buy new centre caps or should I paint over my current with white plasti dip and then apply a red H decal? Would a decal hold/stick on plasti dip?

Yeah I think the Honda decal will stay on plasti-dip, I've seen someone do it on another thread. I'd say dip the center cap white instead of buying a new one.

Do it man. Its sooooo easy. I always wonder why more people dont do it. $30 well spent.

You can start with lowering the car, or new rims. That's what I did anyway. Hope this helps

Agreed. Plastidipped my rims white, and do they get dirty and look gross after a couple weeks. Got them powder coated&couldn't be happier!
