Don't PlastiDip Your Platform

[09aggie]

Wanted to share a recent DIY fail of mine in case anyone was thinking of this. I was thinking plasti dip would make my platform quieter and maybe even add grip. I did 3 coats and then a camo rattle can job.

It wasn't any quieter, got way more slippery, and started peeling really bad after 2 short hunts. Maybe this will save someone some time!

Edit: I had a few pics, but it says the files are too big

I noticed some wear on the center bar of my primal steps that I basically did the same thing to. I used textured spray paint over the plasti-dip there, which in hindsite probably wasn’t the best idea.

Roll-on truck bed liner works well. I did my predator with it two years ago and it's still good.

I bought a can of the spray stuff last week, just haven't had time to put it on yet. Hopefully better.

They sell rolls of grip tape like for skateboards in all kinds of widths.... including 1" wide
