Tiffany Blue Pearl Dipped Hayabusa

How long does it hold up especially on tank

Holds up very well against the tank. After 6 months there's a few scuffs and such around the tank where my knees are, but they come out. It'd probably help if I cleaned the bike more often and reapplied the DipCoat. The only issue the dip has, which can't be seen, is where the seat hits the tank. It does rub through, but the only way to see that is if you have the seat off. My seat has been modified and recovered, so a stock seat could be just fine.

Dip holds up against bugs pretty well too. Here's an older video of removing bugs from the dip with only a towel and water. I think it comes off easier than if it was on the paint.

I updated my video from last time with the recent dip and also include specs on what I applied. I plan to keep it updated each time I dip again.

Thanks. I always have used Plasti-Dip

Thanks .

I always have used Plasti - Dip *

Let us know why you change color so often ~ does the plastic dip not hold up very well *

Only change so often because I can.

Mainly because it's so cheap. Probably averages to $100 for each dip between all 7, but has been under $50 before too.

Looks good. I like the orange the best. What type of gun works best and what tip size do you use?

I use the gun from dipyourcar.

I liked the orange as well, but the downside to it (which I knew before I dipped it) is that it fades in the sun. I fully expected it to last at least a few months but I could tell after a couple of weeks. People at work started noticing not too long after that. Kinda sucked, DYC should tell people how quickly it fades.

The perfect Busa spouse:
"Honey what dress are you wearing to the affair?"
"There red dress baby"
"Hold on honey, I'll get the Busa dipped to match!"

New guy here. Too lazy to introduce myself. How much would something like this cost?

DOH!! I see the answer above.

D'oh ! ! !

I see the answer above .

So... how are you prepping for plastidip and how are you removing the old stuff? Thanks

 

[InfiniteReality]

I use the DYC dip prep stuff. If I had wax on it before a dip, I wash with dawn.

To remove, I rub a corner to get it going and peel. I use a microfiber towel and rub corners and such that may not be as thick as others, like under the nose is an example.

 

[RedBull]

So . . .

How are you prepping for plastic dip
and how are you removing the old stuff ?

Thanks .

Time lapse of when I removed electric lime green if interested.

I find myself wanting a new color more often with each dip. I get all excited.....then I start peeling it and immediately regret the decision as I realize how much time I'm going to invest, lol.

New color is sprayed and not entirely sure what I think of it. Definitely won't be my favorite color, but hopefully when adding the graphics I'll dig it more. If I'm lucky, I'll have it back together today and get some decals cut and put on.......hopefully.

For the record, the more coats of dip does NOT make it any easier to peel for a bike. Just too many sections of a bike to make a difference. This past dip had about 1.50-1.75 gallons of dip plus 1/2 gallon of TopCoat. It was no easier to peel than 1 gallon of dip only.
