Dip paint is removable plastic paint that can be applied very easily to your rims, mirrors, trim or even the entire bodywork of your car.
After application, the paint forms a film that can be easily removed once dry without leaving any residue. Because of this characteristic, dip paint is also known as liquid vinyl.
It can be used on indoor and outdoor surfaces and has a lifespan of 5 years. You can double the lifespan by applying a layer of protective 3k varnish.
Autocubo is the official distributor of the Pinta Dip brand in Braga.
Dip paint: application method
For best results avoid direct sunlight, high humidity and a windy environment.
Apply at a room temperature of approximately 20º. The application surface should also be at 20º to obtain the best result and finish.
Once applied and dried, it develops a thin, smooth coating similar to automotive vinyl.
Each Liquid Vinyl Spray includes two diffusers. The white diffuser for small to medium pieces and the red diffuser for large pieces.
Dip dye: Step by step application
1 - Shake the liquid vinyl spray can vigorously for at least two minutes. You should shake the spray can regularly during application.
2 - Hold the spray can 20 to 30 centimeters from the surface to be painted. Move the can fluidly from side to side. Press the can valve firmly to obtain an even, wet mist.
3 - Respect the minimum drying time between layers of approximately 15 minutes at a room temperature of 20º. Apply the necessary layers until you achieve the desired coverage in a minimum of 6 layers.
4 - Respect the minimum drying time of 4 hours after the last layer at a temperature of 20º before using the object.
