Plasticoat for paint protection

[muskrat]

Anyone ever use plasticoat for paint protection when wheeling? Haven't priced the stuff. Don't know if it's feasible.

Thoughts?

Easy to pull off without harming paint?

Thanks.

Been several on here to do it and the concensus is that it peels off with no problem

I would not think it would be a good temporary protection unless you were looking for longer term use. It is about $250-$400 per application if you do it your self. Paying someone will double that cost. I have seen cars dipped and they look good and supposedly easily repaired if it gets scratched. I think it would work just too expensive for a short term solution.

If you want temporary "cheap" protection look into what we use in the auto body industry for wrapping cars without glass. It's called crash wrap. Its a thick seran wrap type plastic. A roll of it isn't cheap but is cheaper than plastic dip. It's made to stick to the vehicle and can be put on the back of a tow truck and it won't blow off. It leaves virtually no residue when you remove it. I would say it's about 8 mills thick.

If you want to try it out see me at the Roundup let me know. I have a roll at home I'll bring with me in a few weeks.
