DipTips: Spraying PlastiDip Without Texture 

Great video! Was messing with some plasti-dip and some emblems, had a rough surface. Your tips address my issues!

The comments here helped me more than the video. Saved me

I used your method, to paint my bumper, and it turned out perfect. Thanks for your technique! 👍💯💯

I spent an entire day looking for advanced Plastidip tips. This video was the BEST BY FAR. REALLY GOOD INFO

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

"That's enough talking for now, let's get started." Immediately starts talking.

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!!

Been meaning to plasti dip the bottom half of my passat wagon. Been looking at how to for months, but this video has given me alot more guidance, other vids I've seen show lines and marks everywhere. I'll probably do a light coat first as I'm working on vertical panels, and then go wet coats from there. Thanks for the informative vid.

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.

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.

Thanks..really key....so I can correct a textured dip surface by spraying hot and wet.

awesome video i like how you get straight to the point and no tom foolery!

I used deep sea blue pearl over texture and it looks rather cool with the texture. I'll do better next time thanks for the tips.

Bro wet coat only the 2 or 1 last coats. Wet coat on first one will sometime get you some drips and trouble.

gotta say, this worked great in reverse too... when I was trying to create a rubber snow flock ** something I could peel vs deal with scrubbing. For the "faux plasti flock" I just stuck it in the fridge. Worked GREAT and peeled so much easier than cleaning flock.

You are the man. Those people at Plasti Dip should learn from YOU. They are not helpful but yours was very helpful.

Well explained and demonstrated. Great job man.

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???

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!

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

Great video. The wet coats with 50% overlap makes the texture look smooth. I put mine in warm water and the bottom of the can started bulging out. Maybe it was a little to warm. Lol.

Thanks bud, you're a good instructor

Great content, 2nd video you helped me with including the coil over adjustment video👍👍 subscribed

Great video. You are so well spoken.

Thanks a lot for the tips. This is what I need to know.

Fantastically helpful video, thank you so much!

Great info, thank you..great job

Saved my life, thank you!

Great video, very informative.

Thanks man! Really appreciate this video!

Great video. What size is your compressor?

Very helpful and informative. Thank You

Excellent tutorial!

Thank you! Keep up the videos!

Quick follow up. Hot dip applies much smoother..some reflection. True with Camo Green Verde and Glossifier just now applied...hot and wet.

Hi great video thanks. Have you ever attemted clearcote plastidip on a wrists watch bezel to protect it from scratches?

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.

video was well done. Thank you.

Very helpful, many thanks!

thx for the tips about using a htlp gun at what air pressure would you be at for a whole car?👍thx for vids

Good stuff bro! Subscribed!

Very helpful. Thanks!

Great videos!!!! Really appreciate it.

thank you for the very fine tutorials great job will use some of your tips are you using a turbine or the dip your car sprayer?

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.

you make it look easy

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.

Great video and tips…thanks!

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.

thx for reply, keep the videos coming I need all the help I can get:)

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.

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 .

So if car is already sprayed over a week now and has some rough texture can i use this technique and go over it all and get a smooth feel to it?

great video 1 question for you what PSI are you running on that HVLP gun?

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!

Thank you for the tutorial!

Great video!!

Thx bro. Great video

if i wanted to spray a clear / gloss at what stage would i do it and would it be wet spray or mist / layers

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?

Great tips!

could you link the video you mentioned at the beginning about spraying on the plastic wrap?

Can you fix a previously sprayed texture with a few wet coats if the job is fairly recent?

SWEEET!! WHAT IS THE PERFECT DISTENCE TO SPRAY TEH PLASTI DIP FROM? AND DOSE IT CHANGE IF YOU SPRAY VERTICALLY OR HORIZENTALLY?

you sir are a smart ass man😂 and hey I'm about to start the new RU-vid channel because of you👌🏻 next week hopefully, its going to be on a customers 2010 mustang and it'll be on plasti dip. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great up work and great tips!

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?

I see what you did there lol. I was spraying it wrong. I used plastic dip on my emblems and surface came out rough but it made the red look matte. Still looks good though.

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??

so how many heavy wet coats do u recommend? do you recommend using glossifier?

Great Video!

thanks for the tips

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

whats a better way to spray? dyc gun or air compressor gun?

Question: how do you spray the gloss.... I’ve heard you don’t let it dry before applying the follow up layers....

What type of filtration system do you have for your compressor and how much psi you getting ?

So would I do a light coat first if I'm spraying hubcaps?

What does Fonzie from dipyourcar say to start with a light (not wet) "tack" coat if it introduces texture?

Can I spray a wet coat over already dipped parts to fix texture( dipped is a few days old)

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.

Does all this technique work for Nite-Shades as well?

When u use the spray gun Do you mix the plastidip with anything alse?

What song is your outro ! Also love your video great tips for my upcoming weekend project.

Helpful vid, tx!

Thought you were supposed to go light on the plasti dip for the first coat to avoid running drips. 🙀 Nice video btw will need to do my rims like this

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

I did my emblems and they came out smooth my grill came out textured 4 coats is there a way I can cover it or do I have to wet sand it

I thought you where supposed to start with light coats

How about plsti-dip to cover an auto seat bolster with good foam ? will it last ?

Do you buy the sprayable dip for your gun or do you mix it yourself

Watched this after I messed up 😂

Can you use this technique for the roof (rattle can)?

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.,

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.

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.

How long do you let it dry in between coats?

So if we do have texture can we do another coat like this and fix it

does this apply to a vertical panel? wouldn't a wet spray cause it to drip?

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.

What are those little imperfections in the dried and cured part?

Doing a very thing rear spoiler lip tomorrow.. should I do heavy coat first? A bunch of other videos say light coat first. But these result do look good
