Awesome finish. Might have to import some. How does it stand up to gas?

Also wondering the same thing. I would consider it if it held up to gas.
Does it come in different colors? Is that a dumb question?

I plastic 'paint' that makes things look like you just dipped whatever it is in a bucket of plastic if you will, then comes off just as easy

Plastidip is the ****. I plasti dipped a lot of surfaces in the interior of my camaro and it looks killer.

As far as I know the spray version of plasti dip comes in black, white and red. There are other colors like yellow but I've never seen it come in spray form.

The finish is a non glossy finish but you can do what I did with the interior of my camaro. I sprayed the plasti dipped parts with a glossy clear coat and you'll get that glossy finish and if you change your mind you can still get it off. Wish I could post pics from my iPad. I'll check back later and put up some pics.

I'm plastidippin some parts on my rocker right now (ape hangers) to be specific. I'll see how it turns out
