Anyone ever try using that plasti dip stuff on a drum?
Came across it at the Tundra forum and immediately thought I may have found my entry into the chameleon painted drum kit I thought about a few years ago.
I don't want to sound like I am hawking this stuff, no skin in that game, but thought someone on here may have tried it.
Dan I never tried it. But they also offer the primer, clear and the plastic dip paint itself in aerosol cans. I'd think with the drum prepped and primed (sealed) it should be fine? Let us know!
Dan - Would the colors still show under stage lights? In the videos they are always showing off the color effect outdoors in bright sunlight. I think it needs really intense sun light to set off the color effect. On stage in a club, on a set of drums it might just look like a mat-black kit. (Like black Panther, dull finish.)
Anybody ever see this used on a drum kit? Photos?

Good points. I have never used the stuff. Bought a new truck and was reading up on tonneau covers on the Toyota forum and came across this plasti-dip stuff.
The attractive part to me was it should be a 100% reversible application if, probably when...., it looks like a hatchet job when finished.
Not for your average hobbyist I imagine. You need a spray gun, compressor, the space to do it, not everybody is set up to do that kind of layered paint job. It's a great idea though. Having a drum kit that changes colors depending on what angle you're looking at it would be completely unique.

The big must for chameleon colors is a black base coat. Thats one thing my buddy at the body shop told me. Ford offered a Mystic chameleon color on the Cobra Mustangs in the 90's. A purple-teal-green shift. Base coat, color coat, clear coat for a 3 part process. My old bosses kid had one and used to frequent my buds shop when he had accidents. Back then it was a Dupont product but today there's quite a few vendors and it's pretty affordable. Yes as John said a spray gun would do much better vs a spray can. But you can always do a spray can test on something and see how it comes out.
Glenn - This stuff comes in spray cans? Who stocks it?

John click the link I posted you'll see the chameleon colors down the page a bit. There's only a couple versions so kinda limited selection.
Thank you! Missed it on the first read. Interesting stuff. Don't know that I'd use it on a vintage kit, but to rehab a newer kit it would make for some really interesting finishes. Imagine a Duco paint job in some of those colors!
