Plasti Dip is a popular product used to customize automotive surfaces, often used for wheels, car grilles and trim. The product has become increasingly popular in the RC (Radio Controlled) car community, as it allows users to customize their RC cars in much the same way they would a regular-sized vehicle.
What is Plasti Dip?
Plasti Dip is a multi-purpose rubber coating that can be applied to almost any surface, including metal, wood, plastic and rubber. It is available in several colors and finishes, including matte, gloss and metallic. Plasti Dip is also highly resistant to moisture and chemicals, making it perfect for outdoor use on cars or RC vehicles.
Can You Plasti Dip an RC Car?
Yes, you can Plasti Dip an RC car without any problems. Plasti Dip provides a durable protective coating that helps protect the car’s body from damage due to normal use and wear.
Additionally, it gives your RC car a unique look that can be easily changed with additional coats of paint or different colors of dip. It’s also easy to apply and remove when you’re ready for a new look.
How to Plasti Dip an RC Car:
To begin plastidipping your RC car you will need some basic supplies such as: a spray gun or aerosol can of Plasti Dip, masking tape or painter’s tape for masking off parts of the car you don’t want covered in dip; protective gloves; paint primer; and clear coat finish for added protection against scratches and fading. Once you have all your supplies together you will need to prepare the surface of your vehicle by cleaning it with soap and water then using the primer on any bare plastic surfaces so that the dip will adhere properly.
Next you will need to mask off any areas you don’t wish to be coated with dips such as windows or headlights while making sure all other areas are properly exposed before spraying on multiple thin coats of plastidip until your desired color is achieved. After letting each coat dry completely apply a clear coat layer over top for added protection before finally allowing everything time to cure completely before using your newly dipped RC car!
Conclusion:
Plasti Dipping an RC car is a great way to customize its look while also providing extra protection against wear-and-tear from normal use. It’s relatively easy to do with some basic supplies such as aerosol cans or spray guns filled with Plasti Dip along with masking tape and primer for prepping the surface before application. With some patience and practice anyone should be able to create their own unique custom look for their remote control vehicle!
