I have posed that Q to the original poster of the article I pasted to start this thread.
If a few of you guys try it this week please let us know.
I want to know esp how it sticks if you just clean the bumper but do not sand it down first.
If you do sand it down how does it stick after ??? coats etc.

Here are a range of comments I cut and paste of users comments from different online car forums who have used it.
I would still appreciate user input to answer my Q in my earlier post from people above who are going to buy and try. Thanks.
PLASTI DIP NOTES
One of the many advantages of Plasti-Dip is that in it's unmolested nature the rubbery feel and look can be easily removed and the underlying paint or surface will be left just as it was.. once a clear coat has been applied to it, it changes it's molecular nature and makes the Plasti-dip adhere to the surface like regular old paint.. thus making it hard and a PIA to remove..
Also.. with Plasti-Dip there's really no prepwork needed.. my only advice is to clean the surface good and if anything give it a rubdown with alcohol.. no sanding / scuffing neededAnd same can be said about Plasti-dip.. if you only give it 2 or 3 light coats, giving it 25 to 30 mins between coats.. the finished result will be a semi-textured look and feel.. if you lay heavy coats.. or do 4 or more coats one right after the other.. the final result comes of as a more 'smooth' look and feel.. kinda like those black rubber window seals around the doors.
And x2 on it's strong nature.. it will withstand car washes.. bumps and rubdowns without scratching cracking or peeling.. and since it is so "cheap" (less than $8 a can).. if it were to fail.. it's just pennies to re-touch/re-apply!..
Plasti-dip inthe other hand seats on the surface.. never ever bonds.. if you just don't like it.. find an edge and peel away.. it will come off as if it were dry skin after a sunburn..
Surface underneath will look just as it was before.. even factory black plastic trim pieces, 'chrome' trim pieces or even wheels..
Plasti-dip is incredibly tough. Once curred, it takes quite a bit to get it off. The stuff is designed to grip to the smooth metal handles of tools, so it adheres very well. The down side is it does collect dust easier than regular paint, but it won't chip or scratch like regular paint.
If is does start to look bad, you can pry up a corner with a blade and peel off the entire piece in one try. If I have to do that, I'll just repaint it with something else.
4 months of heat, cold, wind, rain, mud, sand and many washes and the plastic-dip has held up perfect. No peeling, chipping, melting or anything. It also peels right off of any surface if you want to remove it, you just have to get it started. It sticks to anything, even chrome or polished wheels, so if you wanted to experiment with your wheels, you could. You can spray it on any surface and it just peels off

Picked up some red plasti-dip today and have just painted a phone holder (lol, thought i'd try something cheap first) let u know how it goes...
However, BLACK OUT EVERYWHERE and won't be coming in, something to do with the importer here in Oz.
I wonder if there's a chance to ship in?
Oh, and cost me $25
