I had only heard about this stuff as a liquid in a can that you could dip tools into for a better grip. After seeing it sprayed onto various CBR parts thanks to this forum, I still wondered why you wouldn't just use paint. Then I saw the Royal Enfield forum. One of their members plasti-dip sprayed his entire C5 Chrome model in olive drab. It looked better than the factory job.

Here's the kicker. He peeled it all off! That's the key. If you don't like the look, it peels right off. I painted the bottom piece of the CBR's fairing white to go with the tricolor. Not sure if I'll keep it that way. Then I painted the lower half of my Triumph's police-style windshield. I think it looks great but if I change my mind, no big deal. It is some fun stuff.

Does it wash off in the rain? Is that why the dude doesn't like to ride in the rain?

Once plasti-dip dries it is there until you forcibly remove it by peeling it off. It's basically plastic once it hardens and is quite difficult to remove afterwards.

It makes an awesome primer for paint to stick to, and then if you don't like it you can just peel it off.

So you may have to use a knife to cut it off of an irregular surface, say something like a motorcycle wheel?

Sounds like that could be a real PITA.

Why in the hell is there another plasti dip thread

It is the most amazing mod, it makes the cbr able to go on the highway, except when it rains... then you are down to 20mph and have to take the shortest way home possible.

I still don't get why everyone hates on plasti-dip. Im probably missing something.

Plastidip just makes the bike look like something from a trailer park.
