Massive in the USA and slowly getting a following here. Spray on rubber that is easily removed. Suitable for car wheels. Normally $30 each.

Plasti Dip is a multi-purpose, air dry, specialty rubber coating. It can be easily applied by dipping, brushing, or spraying. Plasti Dip protective coating is ideal for a broad array of do-it-yourself projects around the home, garage, garden and elsewhere. It protects coated items against moisture, acids, abrasion, corrosion, skidding/slipping, and provides a comfortable, controlled grip. Plasti Dip remains flexible and stretchy over time, and will not crack or become brittle in extreme weather conditions. It has been tested and proven in temperatures from -34ºc to +93ºc. Plasti Dip can be dipped, brush coated and sprayed. Add more layers for greater protection and grip.

PLASTI DIP® resists moisture, acids, abrasion, weathering, electrical shock, skidding/slipping, corrosion; coats and gives a comfortable, controlled, colour coded grip to all types of tools: lawn and garden, mechanical, electrical, woodworking and masonry. PLASTI DIP® is flexible and won’t crack, chip, peel or become brittle, insulates from electric shock, vibration and heat. (Non-skid grit can also be added.)

WOOD: Seals and protects from weathering and prevents splitting. -
METAL: Reduces vibration, deadens sound and prevents corrosion. -
GLASS: Shatter proofs glass objects (available in clear).
U.V. specific formula available, recommended for outdoor use. Permanent and water tight as long as you want it to be but removes completely and without mess from most non-porous surfaces.

    "Caswell is now supplying many local stores such as Autobarn, we do offer discounts for bulk purchases and cans can be as cheap as $15 each if you are prepared to buy in bulk.

    Alternatively, there is another seller selling it.

    In US, it's only close to $10 a Can.

      I live in QLD so the postage is expensive due to the nature of the product. Same with with eBay

      I think plastidip.net.au is the supplier - "Aerosols are available from your local distributor
      as listed in the toolbar at the bottom of the page"

    • ol mate on 14/10/2013 - 08:35

      If you're after 6+ cans, it is cheaper than buying retail. Anything under 6 cans won't be as cheap as delivery is a killer.

      Also Armor All have their own version which is just Plastidip in a bigger can. Only sold at Super Cheap Auto in Australia, it's called Armor All Custom Shield but only comes in black/white/clear whereas Plastidip comes in a lot of different colours.

          Thanks for the link. Will try my wheels first, if I like the result I'll wrap the entire car.

        • ilikeit on 14/10/2013 - 08:31

          This actually looks really promising. Well investigate further.

        • J6 on 14/10/2013 - 10:10

          Looks pretty cool! Will keep an eye on these guys! $500 for a whole car dip. Plastidip is way more expensive. I wonder what the quality and application will be like. Hopefully some start popping up on youtube

        • cannedhams on 14/10/2013 - 13:40

        • J6 on 14/10/2013 - 15:22

          im considering it. just youtube plastidip and youll see. it looks and works great!

    Just buy the armor all custom shield. It was on sale for $20 a can from memory at supercheapauto and is a much bigger can and one can is enough for 4 rims. I did my full set of 16" rims with a pretty thick coat too. It's the exact same product as it comes from the same manufacturer.

    • fchis on 14/10/2013 - 10:20

      Do you refer to this product?
      http://www.armorall.com.au/products/custom-shield/

      It says it lasts up to 3 months. Not sure how long the Plastidip can last.

      • Logical on 14/10/2013 - 10:29

        3 months for armor all custom shield does not souond good at all.. a review on youtube shows an Audi with the plastidip for over a year, and he even uses high pressure water cleaner with no effect on it.

        • 0 0 0 on 14/10/2013 - 14:43

          It's the same product just marketed in a different way and under a different brand. Same parent company. Lasts just as long as plastidip

          Wow, a can of Plasti Dip only $6 there, and what are we paying here?

    • gadget on 14/10/2013 - 15:51

      Not any more. Because it's the same product it's been flying off the shelves at Supercheap also. I picked it up for $27 but still cheaper than plasti dip as the can is bigger.

      BUT plasti dip comes in more colours (if you can find them - gunmetal is like hen's teeth)

      might be a good solution for shower/bath floor?

    • shmahoo on 14/10/2013 - 09:42

      depends on whether you can fit your car in there?

    • nfr on 14/10/2013 - 10:34

      It "resists moisture", so probably not water proof. But better than no sealing at all I suppose.

    • damion on 14/10/2013 - 14:01

      For sealing or to provide grip?

      There are other better products designed for bathroom floors that do those jobs.

  • slix_88 on 14/10/2013 - 10:08

    Does plasti-dip have other functional uses rather than aesthetics? I.E. Does it protect the surface of an object? Also, how is it removed?

        Got it now:
        WOOD: Seals and protects from weathering and prevents splitting. -
        METAL: Reduces vibration, deadens sound and prevents corrosion. -
        GLASS: Shatter proofs glass objects (available in clear).

      ????

      Strengthen a plastic frame? Dude. you know this stuff is soft yeah?

      You need some epoxy for that. Try JB weld or araldite.

      • BenK-Oz on 14/10/2013 - 11:00

        sorry its the plastic skids to stop them breaking on hard landings, not the frame

          This isn't meant for that kind of application. Try wrapping the skids in foam.

  • Skeppy on 14/10/2013 - 10:42

    I've been meaning to grab a can to spray on ear cups on my Sennheiser Amperior (Silver), but can't justify spending so much on just one can when I probably only need a few coats of it :/

      You can buy glossifier that goes on top only. I think evolvecoatings.com.au from above does it straight up.

      • myclock on 14/10/2013 - 15:51

        Their "gloss" is more of a satin finish, so it still won't be as shiny as normal paint.

    I am thinking to make a coracle (plywood frame boat with a hull made out of sailmaking canvas waterproofed with bitumen emulsion).

    Would this stuff work in place of the bitumen emulsion?

    • gadget on 14/10/2013 - 15:55

      Doubt it. Think of it as like removal vinyl wrap. It can be scratched off without much force and i wouldn't use it as a waterproofing agent. AND it will degrade over time.

  • Azn310 on 14/10/2013 - 18:37

    If you are in Sydney, GL Lubricants sell them for like $20-21. They don't post it on their web but I saw them at their warehouse. They mainly have white and black.
