Plasti-dip is a spray on material like paint but rubber based

can remove it by peeling the edge without any harm to the surface under neath

how does /n/ feel about coating their frames in plasti-dip?

Never thought about using it on a bike frame. I might try this on my scraggly mtb. Shit is haggard

I think the idea is to do it beforehand

It doesn't weigh all that much, some race cars use it as a base coat before applying sponsor decals

Is this a good way to winterize your frame?

Sigh.

Are you racing?
>yes
alright, every gram matters, but you should run your bike unpainted, then.

>no
what's going to weight plastidip on a whole frame? 50g? 100g? It doesn't fucking matter, you're not racing, the weight difference will be so minimal that you will literally shed more weight by putting thinner socks on.

this is a full coating, more than a normal coating as well, and it comes in at 1.8 pounds or 816 grams. Take your guess at what a single coat on a couple of tubes would weight, but I'm guess it's in the 50g range.

The dip your car Audi a4 was 3 colors

Purple, black then red.

You only need 1 color on your bike...

No, plastidip is retarded because it rubs and peels off easily. It's only strong against impacts and chipping. It works on cars because people are anal about people touching cars. The part of the toptube that touches your thigh when stopped is going to wear through pretty quickly and start peeling. You should all feel bad for replying to a bait thread.

What if you finished the contact points with more abrasion resistant paint?

I like the idea but I ride mostly steel frames and I'm concerned the material might be porous.

It's not a rust inhibitor or a surface protection product. As is if it will knock paint then the damage will still knick paint it's basically just a non slip colored surface

So of you treat it like that you'll be fine
