Plasti dip on MIC top to evaluate black vs white looks

[PC Austin]

I've been back and forth on a black top vs a white top and keep thinking that I'd like to see it in person.
Perhaps the MIC top and some cans of white and black plastic dip is a good way to test this. Shoot, if it looks good, it might stay for a while.

Thoughts?

Plasti dip is not durable. Or are you just talking about testing the MIC top to see what color you want to order? If so, it should work.

IF you use the plasti-dip, spray it on THICK. Thicker the better when it comes to removing it. I went light on some wheels once and it was VERY hard to clean the stuff off. The thicker coats stick together better and can be removed in big sheets (if you're lucky).

Yeah, that's the primary idea

That's a good idea. I've had some plasti-dip parts on my motorcycle turn signals for several years now and they still look good. I covered up the plastic chrome with matte-black plasti-dip. I'd say it looks the same still.

Just curious, what color are you leaning towards?

I know black tops look good but I'd love to make the white top work. I just don't know how it would look. So some experimenting could help. The renderings just don't give me enough confidence to order. So having the MIC top could allow me to play with it until the modular is available. And who knows, may be a longer term solution if it works.

I would use raptor liner, don't plastic dip it.

He could plasti-dip it to see if he likes the color then commit to it with Line-X or Raptor if it pans out.

Good input. I'm just prototyping before I commit.

There's tons of plastidip videos out there, not sure how much you'd need though for a top though. I was going to do the wheels on my Jeep planning on 1 can per wheel to lay it on thick. The thicker the better, more durable and easier to peel off if you want to.

How about wrapping it with vinyl?

I'm game for anything that let's me experiment before I commit without damaging the MIC top.

The MIC top is textured so I assume the plasti dip will work better in adherence, but removal might be a pain ,,,, i have never tried it so for those of you who have, please opine about plasti dip on a textured surface vs a smooth one

Do have any pics of your build or something similar? I always photoshop stuff to see what it looks like, it gives me a really good idea before I commit. Not as good as seeing it person of course but it helps.

I'm wondering about X-Line myself. Wondering how it would stick to the textured MIC.
