Earlex MS2901 Spray Station
After much research and consultation with Plasti Dip experts, Earlex have developed a spray gun specifically designed to Spray Plasti Dip. They have filled a requirement of the Plasti Dip Enthusiasts as some spray guns have been deemed unsuitable for use with Plasti Dip. The MS2901 has a longer hose and a 1.5mm needle. The longer hose keeps the Plasti Dip away from the electrical components and the 1.5mm needle appears to give a finer spray and a smoother, professional finish. Trials have been carried out with good results. So, if you want a professional finish to your Plasti Dip the MS2901 should suit your requirements.
MS2901 can be used by frequent decorators or DIY enthusiasts for use all around the home, outdoors and in the workshop. Versatility from small to large coverage paint jobs.
MULTI-PURPOSE RUBBER COATING
Plasti Dip is an air-dry, specialty rubber coating. In fact, it’s the original peelable, flexible, insulating, non-slip, durable rubber coating. The Plasti Dip product line provides a wide range of coating solutions from automotive customization to home improvement.
MOTOR VEHICLES
- We recommend you wash the vehicle or item with warm water and dishwashing liquid. If there are any greasy or waxy areas we recommend using rubbing alcohol to remove them. Do not use a car wash with silicone before spraying as Plasti Dip will not stick to silicone.
- We recommend 5-7 spray coats of Plasti Dip to ensure a thick enough coating so that it can be easily removed if/when required. It will take approx 4 spray coats to start to get good coverage.
- We DO NOT recommend you use Prepsol as this causes static to build up which gives a very rough, furry finish to the Plasti Dip.
- Mask up any areas that you do not want coated and cover your wheels, brakes, etc., if you are not removing the wheels.
- The Plasti Dip can then be applied. You will need a HVLP spray gun that will run at 20psi with a 1.3-1.5mil needle, maximum 2mil needle.
- The Earlex MS2901 HVLP Spray Station Gun is specifically designed to apply Plasti Dip and is available here.
- If the Plasti Dip comes out of the gun at a high psi the Plasti Dip will dry before hitting the surface and will give a sandpaper finish. It is recommended that the spray gun be held 6-8” away from the surface, otherwise the Plasti Dip will dry before hitting the surface and give a sandpaper type finish. If you get runs you are probably too close or spraying too heavily.
- It is recommended that you remove any tape whilst the last coat of Plasti Dip is still wet to avoid the Plasti Dip sticking to the tape.
- Average Usage: A small vehicle uses approx. 2 x 3.78 litres, a medium vehicle 3 x 3.78 litres and a large vehicle 4 x 3.78 litres and a larger 4WD 5 x 3.78 litres. These are a guide only as there are many variables such as overspray.
- If you are putting a light coloured Plasti Dip over a dark coloured vehicle you will probably use more. It is recommended to put a base of grey Plasti Dip on first if you are applying a light colour over a dark colour to avoid the dark colour showing through. This should also decrease the amount of the lighter coloured Plasti Dip required.
- If you are using powders it is strongly recommended to put them over at least 4 coats of regular Plasti Dip to avoid problems.
- If you are applying Plasti Dip over a bare metal surface we recommend you use the Plasti Dip Primer first. The Plasti Dip needs to be applied as soon as the Primer is touch dry to get maximum adhesion.
- We DO NOT recommend you use Plasti Dip Primer on vehicles/Items if you wish to remove the Plasti Dip at a later date.
