Friend of mine and I went in on a case of Plastidip, decided to give it a shot on the viffer!  Turned out pretty good, the rear tire doesn't match perfectly but I think it looks pretty good.  Might get to the front tire next, a lot of hardware to remove though.

Will it work on the rads?  specifically the color you used on the passenger pegs...

Eh, no.

You can use regular satin black, or textured satin black spray paint though.

No, plastidip is good durable stuff, but it's one downfall is heat.  Any area that is in contact with head melts it right off.

Plastidipping the wheels....HMMMM..... :491:

I did my whole bike black and it looked really good. I'm thinking of ordering blue and giving it a shot. It's nice to be able to change your color with ease.

Yeah, it's also really cheap to do.  One can of red did the rear tire, missed the other side, but it was still only 9 bucks.  Way cheaper than a new rim or painted rim.

The peg brackets look alright but the red wheel doesnt match well ( think that was stated)  unless you plan on spraying over the red plastic the same. Just my opinion, never seen plastidippaint in person.
