Hey guys

I want to black out my exterior trim (headlight rings, tail lights, grille ring, door handles, gas door, side light chrome) and I dont want to wait till Spring to do so. Would Plasti Dip spray be ok to use in the cold weather? (NYC area, 30s/40s right now). Sadly I dont have a garage to do this.

Thanks
G

 

Like most paints, 50 degrees or higher is best. Lots of Youtubes DIY tips on Plasti Dip. I would do the research first.

 

I think that might be too cold as you may not get an ideal outcome. Some info here.

 

I would not do it when cold, if you have access to take the parts off and bring them into a warm spot or garage is ideal.

 

If you don't have access to a garage then I would wait for warmer temps to do some plasti-dipping.

IIRC the minimum recommended temperature is 65*.

My garage is not heated, but I have done some dipping in there in January. I used a space heater to warm it up as much as possible - to around 60* - and my projects turned out fine.

 

Thanks guys I'll wait it out.

 

Also, I don't think plastidip is good on door handles, however anything that you wont touch on a regular basis should be fine and last longer.

 

Welcome. Much better results in the warm.
