Removing Scuffs from a Plasti Dip Surface

[Fierce5]

Hi guys,

 

I plasti dipped the fenders of my bike and the front fender has some scuff marks as I accidentally bumped it with my shoes, any idea on how to remove those? Also, how can I protect the surface, would Buttery Wax works?

 

Thanks

Try some vrt. If not you gotta respray it. Plastidip is not a paint surface that can be corrected. Buttery is a no go on it also. IUC, in and out and SVRT are pretty much all you can put on it. Good luck

Dipyourcar.com has some good repair threads. If you have a small area, it would be easier to peel and re-dip.

Thanks guys. It's so annoying to having to uninstall the fenders and redip them every time there is a scuff as it technically didn't remove or break the plasti dip. I'll try VRT and see how that works.

 

Thanks

If the vrt doesn't help, maybe try and spray some more dip and try and blend it in.

You can't tape the fender off with something and spray it while on the bike?

You can't remove a scuff without respraying.  However, you can use something like xylene to reliquify it and smooth it out so you don't need to peel it when you respray.

 

People do use a spray wax on it which helps prevent scuffing.  You can get more info at the dipyourcar.com forums.
