PlastiDip For Less Slip

[TruSound]

This recently purchased VTC mini has a finish thats slicker than snot, I sprayed it with a few coats of PlastiDip and problem solved, and doesn't look bad two-tone.

If you have a slippery one this could be a solution vs a silicone sleeve, I personally hate them, the PD comes in many colors and just peels off if you want to change it up.

That looks awesome! Good job!

That does look awesome! I am not sure what I expected it to look like as my first thought was the entire unit would be plastidipped but this actually looks like it came that way!

Very clean looking. If I can figure out a way to spray my Kanger without covering the vent holes I'll probably do it on mine. Thanks for the idea.

If anyone tries this just clean the item with alcohol and start with a light mist coat, keep a hair dryer or heat shrink gun nearby and you can dry each coat in about 30 seconds and let it sit for a couple hours and good to go...I used about 6 light coats.

Just be aware this coating won't last forever, if your mod is in and out of pocket all day this coating may peel near sharp corners, no reason it won't last many weeks though and it's easily peeled off and redone once it's thrashed.

Does it smell?

 

[TruSound]

Nope, no smell

my dog has no nose

how does it smell

terrible

 

[TruSound]

It looked good but not for very long, within a week of in and out of the pocket the corners began to peel up so i removed it, it was worth a shot.

Plastidip is pretty cool stuff. And if you decide you dont like it and want another color, you can just peel it off and start over again.

That's the beauty of it, but best used on items that won't be handled all day long.

True.

 

[DontPokeTheBear]

is there any more perminate options similar to Plastidip?

 

[shatteredsoul76]

Ive thought about trying some of the bed armor in a can I use on my Jeep, it has just enough texture to be grippy and is pretty strong.

 

[DontPokeTheBear]

is it similar to rhino lining?

 

[shatteredsoul76]

Yeah it should be similar, the problem I would see with any bed liner is the thickness and its basically permanent plus its pretty strong smelling.
