Default $37 Plasti-Dip paint job

Its a rainy weekend so I decided to go more "Ole-Skool" on my 09 RKC so I painted it in Camo Green Plasti-Dip using 11oz raddle-cans.

Didn't want to tear it down so tape & plastic off which took me about 7.5hrs.....OUCH!

Looks darker in front pic (I like) but the 2 sides are true color.

Lovin the matte finish compared to high gloss!

$37 compared to $1500 plus-minus is no brainer if someone else did it and tore it down.........

Your bike looks great! What is the Plasti-dip durability, meaning how long do you expect the coating to maintain its texture, color, and resistance to the elements? I have researched a little on Plasti-dip and its a rubber like coating. So, I don't think it will provide a gloss like finish and is more like a protective covering.

Damn that's a nice job for not tearing the bike down for sure! Good Job and you saved a **** load of money, and if you ever get tired of it just peel it off and back to gloss black.

Nice job for $37. They're called "rattle cans" because well, the marble rattles. JS
