I was thinking the same thing!

 

Just throwing this out there...

But what about Line-X'd wheels????

That stuff holds up GREAT and would give the same kind of look.

You can even get colors....


After the game, the King and the Pawn go into the same box.

 

It will hold up to wear and tear fine, but all my tools at work have that coating and it gets dirty pretty easily, I use acetone to clean them up but it gets permanently stained after awhile.

Looks good though.

I would go with powder-coating, affordable, lots of colorsand tough as nails too!!

 

I didn't see anywhere on the OP that it was a professional job.. Lay off Bro

 

someone was asking if it sticks to plastic, and It does adhere to plastic pretty well.. at work one day my buddy and I dipped a whole box bic lighters so they had nice non slip grips for the guys and I was surprised how well it worked. So I did that plastic piece above my tailgate cause it kept getting banged around and it worked well but the color is not a deep black by any means, its very flat and it has absolutely no shine to it whats so ever.

 

^^^^^Where do you work HighTimes Magazine?

For a non-slip you could throw in a hand full of silica sand.

 

The dip is way thicker than the spray. So it's not really comparable. But the spray does hold up great on our trucks plastic pieces.

 

 

No not high times hahaha but on a quite a big construction crew, we were suppose to be finding tools but ended up making a morning of plasti-dipping lighters for people.

 

I hear ya, I`ve done it to all my personal tools, jack handles and don't forget the "cup" of the jack , BBQ utensils,
Fenders on the boat trailer (although Line-x would be better) Hence the silica sand trick!

Most "dip" the handles of pliers, drivers etc..

Try this..tape off (i melt wax) the open and box ends and dip your wrench let dry remove tape, then you have a nice cushion! Even on the nice slim snap-on wrenches it works great!
It`s a great sound insulator as well, works great on metal to metal (just leave striking surface uncoated.)

 

Sounds like something pretty similar would be Keystone's 12-24-KEY970 rubberized undercoat. Local paint & body guy uses it, comes in 18oz cans. He gave us some to spray the frame of our deuce we built for a brush truck. Stuff wears great, we drive over cedar, mesquite, persimmon.. anything the truck will push over and the undercoat has held up MUCH better than I expected!

With careful application you can get a light pebbled finish. If you just mash the nozzle you'll get a VERY blobby, rough texture that doesn't look nice at all. I sprayed my EDC knife that I wear inside my waistband and it has worn off of some of the corners but I should have roughed up the knife before I sprayed it.

Unless you were looking for a textured finish this product would NOT be for you. You're not going to get any semblance of a smooth finish. If you want a Line-X look without the price, this would probably work.

 

txarsoncop- you got a direct link for that stuff? I couldn't find it on Google?

 

I just went to Home depot and picked up a few cans for $7/ea

 

That's the only problem with the Keystone stuff. Best I can tell, you've gotta be a shop to buy it from Keystone, OR make nice with a local shop and buy from them. That's what I do.

Keystone order site

I've tried searching Ebay and everywhere else. I've never found it for sale to Joe Public.

 

Yeah, if you decide to do it, taking the wheels off would be much easier...-I just wanted to save time and I dont regret the decision..it was cold as ***** out
