looking to plastidip my 07 Honda VTX 1300. looking at a ton of videos. I like the walk through you did and the final product looks good man. I appreciate the content.
This is awesome! I just bought a 86 Shadow and I think I'm going to go with either this color blue or a yellow. Something bright so I stand out on these crazy New Jersey roads.
Staying visible is definitely important! I also think nice loud pipes will help haha, much better than a horn. New Jersey drivers are crazy too, so I don’t blame you. I’m currently rebuilding the bobber and doing proper paint, pin striping, bars etc, gonna be sweet
It held up pretty well! I painted this bike pretty frequently and now I have actual paint instead of plasti dip (video on my channel for that), but the only thing that ever got to it was gas. Don’t spill gas on the dip and it’ll last.
Stephen Hartley yeah, other than spilling gas on it, it’s perfect. The trick with the gas is to NOT wipe it off, let it evaporate. But yeah, it reacts very poorly with gas, so maybe carry a rag if you do this to put over the nozzle when you take it out of the tank
Lol it does not lol. Ii have had to re-dip my tank a few times due to gas spillage from refueling and from a shutting gas cap leaking when I got towed for a flat tire lol. Other than than its hold up well if you do slow smooth long coats, overlap by 50% and do a lot of thick coats
@@jojomafia214 If you're considering plasti-dip as a paint option in my opinion, you might just be better off to use regular spray paint. Plastidip is cool but you can't spill gas on it, it wont look as good, and is honestly a pain to peel off
Excluding me spilling gas on it, pretty well! I recently took the dip off and the original wrap so I can paint the bike my final color, going to be finishing it soon with a full revamp. But, the plasti dip held up great so long as you don’t get gas on it
@@OlsonAuto ok great. how long did you keep it on before you too it off? saving up to get my tank professionally pianted and my tank is bare metal right now. figured i could plastidip it just to protect it for a few weeks. i live in FL so humidity is a huge ordeal down here tank is starting to rust on me after 2 days in the elements
When plasti dipping can you multiple layers that can peel off individually? For example: the bikes stock color is black, I can I put a red layer, then black so when I peel the black off I'll still have the black plasti dip on?
Same exact thing. “Plastidip” gets more search results than “duplicolor peelable paint”, so I use it as an umbrella term. I prefer the duplicolor, but it’s the same process for plastidip too.

Glad I could help! If you have any other questions feel free to drop another comment
How did it work out? I've got a 07 VTX 1300 that I want to do as well.
Whats up guyss. Anyone else did it to their VTX ? Wondering how it turns ? 🤠
Respect... For being a true biker from this young.
The is man, I appreciate it!

i bought a bright yellow helmut and gloves.

can you show a picture of the bike now... after almost of a year of you making this video please?
Currently disassembled haha, and I have the tank and all panels stripped for paint but I’ll hopefully have the bike done in a few weeks
looking to do my gas tank in my ninja 300 as i bought new fairings, would multiple colors mess anything up?
How do you mean multiple colors? Like using more than one type of can of paint, or layering it onto other colors?
Hows the paint holding up?
It held up pretty well! I painted this bike pretty frequently and now I have actual paint instead of plasti dip (video on my channel for that), but the only thing that ever got to it was gas. Don’t spill gas on the dip and it’ll last.
How has the tank held up? I’ve heard plasti dip doesn’t do well with gasoline.

@@jtbasic in
Lots of clear coat helps
Dupilicolor looks good. That blue is sharp.
I loved the blue, was surprisingly nice! Moving onto a new color and rebuild of the bike once more so she'll be even sharper soon
That's Awesome! Thinking of doing mine black, yellow, and white, with Batman decals lolol
Scared to hydro dip but I may even do that then add the decals and clear coat lol. The BatBike. Can't waitf to see what you do next! 😎👍

Did u adjust the handle bars at all or is that how they came?
They’re at the same angle as they came. Totally stock bars, just spray painted
ok! time for a 1 year update! how well did it hold up brother?

S-62 m5 engine prelude build???
You supply the engine I supply the chassis 👀
How many cans did you use?
I believe I used 2, but buy 3 to be safe depending on the size of the bike
@OlsonAuto I have a front fender as well as a radiator cover. Maybe I'll get 4. Thanks.
@@69Gibbert69 4 would definitely be comfortable as long as the parts aren’t huge. You’ll usually want 5-6 coats to make removal as easy as possible

MeisterSexy11 probably not, I’d assume the layers sort of morph together over time. I haven’t tried, but I doubt it’d work
Looks good bro
Thank you, I appreciate it!
How does it hold up against gas spills?
Terribly. Does not appreciate gas, will strip the plastidip right off
You do not seem like that kind of guy to rip motorcycles which is such a cool vibe. Respect brotha✌️
Haha thanks, been riding and racing all my life!
Nice
Of course
Alka hall
💯
Thank you 🙏
Plastidip? You're using Duplicolor, not plastidip

i know what his car smells like i bet.
And what’s that?
Looks like we’ll ya know
