Seein as how I decided to rattle can my new body parts since it'll be a lil cheaper and I'm pretty good with a spray can. I'm havin a hard time findin a mass quanity of GM bright white in duplicolor. I came across the other brand plastikote on amazon and its a lil cheaper. Anyone ever use this stuff and am I able to throw a regular clearcoat over it without it lookin like crap?

nope. plastidip is a spray on coating and is a removable coating. you can add something to it to make it glossy so it will shine.
people have done the whole car, or just wheels.

So u know the brand I'm talking about then...in the description I didn't say anything about it being like a plastidip material so I wondered if they were the same or not. Well I guess I'm just on the hunt for the duplicolor exact match brand....

That's the link to the other rattlecan brand

if your looking for the same finish as you started with, keep using the same product.
sounds like its the same spray on peel off later plastidip type stuff, theres a few brands out now.

http://www.plastikote.com/index.jsp looks like its real paint, but will it be a match is another story. and why the plasikote name? sounds like dip peel off stuff.

I have only started painting with the metallic black seein as how I ws able to find a deal on a 6 pack of those
. I havnt bought the bright white paint yet so I was curious about that plastikote brand paint

Its made by Valspar. I have never used it for a car but I painted some rot iron chairs with it. It worked OK for that. There would probably be a slight difference in color between the brands.

Scotty what paint did u use when u sprayed your bumper?
10-12-2016
dulicolor black metallic for gm
10-12-2016
How long ago was that and how many cans did It take for the bumper? Is the paint holding up and was it a good match?
10-12-2016
paint was a match, came out good. 3 small cans per bumper, one large can of clear.
10-12-2016
Damn that's it?. I figured I would of needed way more than that....oreillys just called me back n r cutting me a deal on 12 cans for 88$ of GM duplicolor bright white so ill pick that up tommorow. I guess whatever I have left over I can use on my engine bay or hood scoop if I decide to go with one
10-12-2016
you'll get about one coat per can. a bit more maybe. i did light coats with a 50% over lap of the spray pattern with each pass. painted the bumpers on a tall saw horse.
10-12-2016
Ok nevermind I called them back n did 9 cans bright white, 3 cans of black metallic

Plastikote is as good as the other name brand paints. I always have a few cans of their T1 satin black; I put that sh!t on everything! LOL
Here is their wheel paint.....

Did u clear coat it and did u sand inbetween each coat or just base coat sand, clear coat n final sand
10-12-2016
See I was thinkin about spray in up a set of tork stars with that stuff but I was just gonna wait on rims till spring

That is two coats of paint, that's it. The wheels are gone now, but the paint did fade a little over the 2 years that I used them (winter tires).Originally Posted by willie14
