Many organizations of different countries, in step with the times, are engaged in the development and improvement of liquid rubber. The analogues of these products include LiquidRubberCoating, Rubber Paint, etc.

The advantages of this material over the vinyl film

In this case, we see the following:

• When painting a car with this rubber, it is not necessary to carefully prepare the paintwork. It is possible to apply this material to repainted and damaged parts. And in turn, the film shows all the flaws and shortcomings that are under it.
• The material "Plasti Deep", about which reviews are in some degree even enthusiastic, is applied with minimal disassembly of the car. And when pasting a vinyl film, half the machine is dismantled. In this case, you can damage some details.
• There is a wide choice of colors and it is possible to develop new ones, according to individual desire. Also there are types of glossy, matte, metallized, transparent, tinted and even fluorescent colors.

• Apply Plasti Dip without special additives and glue. After its removal, there are no traces left on the surface. Easily removable and no washing is required after this. Vinyl film is removed with varnish together.
• It is possible to cover surfaces of any complexity and form: lattices, badges, wheel disks, interior details. A film of this can not.
• It gives a stably excellent quality of application, without transitions and joints.
• Provides protection of the car body from chips, corrosion, scratches, damages, the action of reagents, acids, chemical salts and alkalis, numerous washes. And all thanks to the fact that when carrying out a coating this way, a thicker layer of rubber base is obtained, from which everything just lags behind.
• Imperceptible after the application of this material defects in the form of chips, scratches, descended from the body of varnish.

• The use of Plasti Dip is cheaper than using a vinyl film, not to mention conventional paints.

"Plate Deep": painting the car. Step-by-step instruction

In this case, you need to do the following:

1. For a quality application of liquid rubber, you must carefully prepare the machine for work.
2. Before painting the car must be washed, remove grease, wax and dirt with blowing gaps and cracks, drying the substrate.
3. It is necessary to isolate those places that will not be processed. To protect the engine and radiator from hitting the paint, you must carefully protect them with cardboard sheets. This is important to do. Bumper grilles and similar parts are protected in the same way.
4. Front and rear lights can not be closed, as the "Plasti Deep" is easily removed from them after it has completely dried.
5. When painting the wheels of the wheels, it is necessary to close all the elements of the brake system located on the side of the treated surface. This is important in this case. If disc coloring is not carried out, then the wheel should be completely closed.
6. Frames under the state. Number are removed.
7. All windows of the car must be closed around the perimeter of the seals and glued with paint tape. Similar actions are carried out with rear-view mirrors.

The process of spraying liquid rubber

In this case, special attention and scrupulousness will be required. When performing this process, the brush must be fixed so that the angle of spraying does not change during operation. On this depends the correct application of the coating. Spraying with Plasti Dip should be made perpendicular to the plane of the car's parts, while maintaining an equal distance to them. This is important in this case. Since at a great distance the surface turns out to be rough, and if too small, drops sometimes form. The ideal location of the nebulizer from the treated surface is 13-16 cm.

The process of painting is simple. The main thing is to do it smoothly and unhurriedly. First you need to take a sprayer, fix the brush and pull the trigger. This is not such a complicated action. After applying this material to the desired place, the trigger must be released, then pressing again, paint in the opposite direction. This is done up to two or three layers of matter.

How is the combined painting done?

The sequence of this process is as follows:

1. Initially, they begin to paint car parts from the rear rack. Then smoothly go to the roof.
2. After that, you can paint the left rack, then the trunk lid, and then the rear of the car with a bumper.
3. The next stage of this process is carried out from the left wing to the front door. After this, the same actions are reversed only in the opposite direction.
4. Then they are taken at the front door.
5. Then paint the next wing with headlights.
6. The hood starts to be processed from the left side to the middle. Then they carry out the same actions to the right.
7. After this, it is necessary to paint the taillights with a grille.
8. Then go to the right front wing. After that, the doors are painted
9. Complete this process with the rear wing.

This order of work makes it possible to avoid "paint spray". This is important in the implementation of this process. The first coat of paint should be thin, almost transparent. If after application of it, poorly treated areas become noticeable, then do not worry. Subsequent layers will paint over them. At the first stage, thus, the foundation is created. The starting layer is allowed to dry for about 40 minutes. This is the optimal time. The second layer should be applied at a slower rate by the same algorithm. At this stage, you need to pay more attention to bends and edges, handles and lines, as well as other small details of the car. After the application of these layers, unpainted places may remain here and there. Transparency should be about 70%. Subsequent layers of this material must be applied in the same way. In general, the surface of the machine will dry for about 60 minutes. After that, you need to remove the adhesive tape and excess paint "Plasti Deep". After completing this process, you should wait 12-24 hours for the coating to harden.

"Plasti Deep" (painting) retains its elasticity under temperature changes from -35 to +94 degrees Celsius. At strong frosts this covering does not crack, and at a hot heat does not become too plastic. Apply Plasti Dip at room temperature (18-20 degrees Celsius). This is important. It must be remembered that direct sunlight and strong wind, as well as temperature differences will negatively affect the result of painting.

Practical tips

In this case, you need to know the following:

• Formed streaks are easily cleaned with a towel.
• For a careful removal of this coating from the edges and small parts, you can use a knife or a flat screwdriver.
• Glossier must be applied slowly and gently by movements close to the surface.
• To increase the adhesive properties of the material, the painted surface is treated with primer-primer Plasti Dip.
• For this treatment, it is better to use the WAGNER W550 or W665 spray guns in which the low-flow mode is set and the HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) system, since it has a larger volume and a lower pressure. In this case, the material is diluted with solvent in a ratio of 1: 1, and the tank of the atomizer is filled in half or two-thirds of the volume.
• It should be remembered that when applying this coating, it is necessary to observe safety precautions, work using respiratory protection in a well-ventilated area.

"Plate Deep" - it's really profitable

With Plasti Dip coating, everyone can save money that used to be spent on "cosmetic" repairs. The costs in this case will pay off in the first six months of operation.

The result

All of the above indicates that the coating is effective from the material "Plasti Deep", the price of which is acceptable and everyone can afford: from 450 to 13 500 rubles, depending on the variety of products and packaging. Cars after this painting will always look like new. This helps to emphasize the status and prestige of any company. To sell the car, which is processed by the specified material, it is possible for quite a good price. Since even after a long operation it will look great.
