Just recently I have found Plasti-Dip in Canadian tire. I am not 100% certain if it is something they stock retailer wide or if it varies store to store. They charge about $22 per can + tax of course.

Since my original post I was able to find a few more places in Canada that sell it. The Showcase stores in the malls have it and I was lucky enough to find a distributor in my area. He charges about $15 a can.
Now for the real test. How is it going to hold up to the salt on the roads this winter?

I just couldn't get it right today, got texture on my wheels and have to redo them or get that thinner stuff, its a large area that is heavily textured so I'm probably going to peel and redo
It was also pouring and I was doing it in my open garage so maybe the humidity (1000000%) and heat had something to do with it as well.
First coat before the texture:
Hey, is that your very first quote? If so, you are starting way to thick. The base coat is supposed to be only 50% or so.

Oh. White looked so much better IMO. Looks like a winter car on steelies now. Maybe it's cause I'm Canadian and see so many steelies for 7 months out of the year. I don't like black rims for this reason.Thanks guys! I have since changed them to black, and I used the Rustoleum heat resistant paint for that. I really liked the look of the white, but the white plasti dip was pretty hard to keep clean and looking good.

Did my emblems last night. I had to redo the from, because I accidentally uncovered chrome on the H. I will post a final image of my front end after I get back from church this afternoon. I am thinking about leaving the back as is with the black on the inside... Thoughts?

That's cool. I just don't want to break my car trying to get these badges off. I thought the back matched the front.

This is pretty cool too. CRZ size... Not sure how different the size is compared to the Civic.

I'm the only one in the Jefferson City area - my heart skipped a beat though when I saw that.

How durable is the plasti dip when washing it. Also can u use a sponge or brush on it?

I wash my car twice a week in the summer.....at least.... I've used a wash mitt on it numerous times with no issues. It seems pretty durable.

The smaller road debris doesn't seem to be an issue. A larger rock will chip it of course. If that happens, it's easy to just touch up.

I did my front "chrome" grill on my LX and it's the only thing has lasted 2 about to go 3 winters, and PA DOT doesn't salt lightly...

How long before I take the painters tape off. Don't wanna take it off to early and mess up my hard work.
