2 PACK PLASTI DIP Mulit-Purpose Rubber Coating Spray BLACK 11oz …


I bought Plasti-dip for the mirrors on my motorhome. The mirrors are aftermarket, and come on an extended aluminum bracket that was so poorly painted it was flaking off and leaving oxidized aluminum underneath (the one photo of the base of the mirror shows what it was looking like). As well, the actual mirrors backs were a horrible cream color. I’m not sure if they were white and the sun had made them change color, or if somebody thought an off-white brown color would look good on a motorhome. Anyway, I ran a wire wheel on the aluminom to get off the paint that was coming off anyway, and left some of the old white coating where it wasn’t weathered. I didn’t really care about finish, and it certainluy shows I didn’t under the plastidip. But the Plastidip went on well, and I did it in a bunch of light coats just like spray paint. It was easy to spray on and dried reasonably fast between coats. I was done in a short afternoon.I put the mirrors away to dry, and after a week went to put them on. I am surprised by the weird texture Plastidip leaves. It simply feels weird, almost wet, but it’s not. Either way, it seems durable enough. I put the mirrors on, and they do look much better. For a cheap and easy solution to painting both plastic and oxidized aluminum, this worked great. I was able to touch up areas that I had missed easily enough after I had installed them. Some got on the mirror surface, and it came off reasonably easy with a razor blade. I can see how this would peel off.I have no idea how peelable this material is, as I haven’t tried it yet, and I am hopeful this will stand the test of time. If it does, I’ll be well pleased with it.
