Re: Spraying Plasti Dip

Re: Spraying Plasti Dip
The question about it being shiny or dull is complicated.
It depends on how you spray it. You can mist it on and make a 'flocked' look to whatever you are spraying.
Spraying it on a little heavier and it becomes a semi-flat semi-gloss look that gives the appearance of a semi-gloss paint.
When you really put it on heavy it becomes glossy at the expense of flexiability.

Re: Spraying Plasti Dip
Practice makes perfect. If you ever used spray paint you will know what to do. If not buy an extra can and practice on anything or find a friend who is "handy" like a painter or carpenter and have them show you. The technique is getting a good flow with the arm and hand.

Re: Spraying Plasti Dip
I bought some this morning and have been applying coats to a piece of MDF. I now see that it would not make for a good molding material. I pictured it being much thicker. I suppose it could be used together with the brush-on (pour-on?) for that. I don't know that you'd want to but it was just a thought.

Re: Spraying Plasti Dip
Of course the brush on is thicker. Think of plasti-dip being paint and compare a spray can to a brush on can of paint. No comparison to the thickness of different products.
