i was just wondering if anyone has used plasti dip as a sound dampner/deadener? i got a couple of cans this morning to use on my rims for now and seen on the can that it can be used as a sound deadener and was just wondering if anyone has done it and how well it worked....
 
I have had HORRIBLE luck with plasti-dip. **** doesnt stick to anything more than a month it seems.
 
It might work... you'd probably need to have the surface cleaned really well & rough it up a bit to give the dip a little more tooth to grab onto.

Another alternative to think about would be undercoating... only downside is that stuff stinks like someone farted on a skunk for quite some time. :(
 
Haha yeah I'm thinking about using it on a few things that I don't mind sanding first so I'll be sure to prep it as best I can. Any idea what sort off application temperature you need?

well had it on my rims for about a month and it just peeled off looed good while it was on there but oh well i'll find another way to keep my rims black.....

lol i could probably deal with the farting skunk for a few days during the summer...... just leave the windows down during the day and let the heat bake it as much as i can.....
 
i put it on my ranger badges at the same time and hasnt even started peeling yet.... so you may be good there....
 
Nice yeah I was thinking about those and also my other grille which I was gonna paint but I may just do this and see how that goes cause I can always rip it off and then paint it. The others things I reallly wanted to do we're the trim pieces along the bottom of the doors(ish) which are faded out and maybe the valance
 
Huh mine does one sec I'll try and find a pic that shows it. I think there's one in my profile album that does. Either way I'll post pics once I do it. It's a no lose, worst case I'm out like 6 bucks for a can haha so I'll def have pics once I've painted up everything I can get my hands on
 
i know duplicolor(i think) came out with a back to black for trim to restore it back to oe black...... if not duplicolor then it may have been rustoleum.....
 
Yeah I tried something like that and it made it kinda shiny but didnt do anything on the hard plastics, only the stuff like the window weather stripping.
