JoKeR Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 After seeing some Zed's at Japfest with this, I thought I would give it a go. Rather than wrap it I thought I would use some plasti dip. Don't mind the dead bugs it needs a wash.... It left a perfect straight edge and looks quality in my opinion! That's what she 'Zed' :-/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoKeR Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 As long as it's done properly it can last for ages. I get my car hand washed every other week and just to test it when I plasti dipped my badges, I didn't tell them to be careful and they come away unharmed even with all the scrubbing.

My lads have done badges and wheels on their motors, lasts surprisingly well especially if hand wash only and quite easy to apply and remove. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Nice, I tried wrapping mine and it was too difficult so I gave up! I'm going to give this a go now, did you need more than one can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKeR Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Nice, I tried wrapping mine and it was too difficult so I gave up! I'm going to give this a go now, did you need more than one can? Hellllll no lol I used what was left in my last can which I thought was ready to be thrown before I started. I done 3 light coats with 15 mins in between each. Then about 30 mins at the end to dry completely ish before I scored all the edges with a Stanley and peeled away the excess. And the biggest and BEST tip I can give is.... If you end up pulling away at the rubber you want to keep (peeling away the edges then accidentally the rest of it) like me. Then use vinegar, just dab it on and it will push it back down leaving a clean finish. Sorry if the tip didn't make any sense I didn't know how to explain it lol That's what she 'Zed' :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Cool, cheers. Will give it a go. Seems a win win really, just peel it of if it's no good or you change your mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKeR Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Haha exactly mate I done my handles too! I was wondering whether to play around with some bright colours but that could get very dangerous and messy haha That's what she 'Zed' :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I used 4.5 cans to do wheels it's better to lay on more then it will be easier to peel later especially if you plan on leaving it on a while, I used loads of old business cards and stuck them between wheel and tyre and covered remaining tyre with sheet and sprayed away, the wheel has to be spotless and free of grime and dust to get good finish that's all prep that's needed and spray direct on wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
