Plasti Dip and Boredom 1 Year ago
So... I was a little bored and didn't have to work this weekend. This usually translates into some kind of questionable idea... If you haven't heard of Plasti Dip, it is basically a rubberized paint in aerosole form. (it peels off with no residue or negative side effects to paint/metal) Combine boredom and rubberized paint... Before Pic's After 4 coats of Plasti Dip And... Reassembled

Huh, pretty neat. I have seen it in a dipping formula but never in an aerosol. Where did you buy it? I can think of 101 uses for it right off of the top of my head. I think it looks nice on your bike.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I like it yet or not... but for a total investment of $35, and a couple hours, I figured what the heck!

I got it at Home Depot, but I have seen it at Lowe's too.

Boredom can be a powerful tool. Be careful! I recall a time I was bored and the cat got a Mohawk. Of course, I learned that they didn't mean "shave your cat".
