What I think I CAN do is plasti dip the bike, using rattle cans. The stuff peels right off if you screw up, and the only thing you are out is some time...

I was looking for anyone here with experience using the product, did a search, and really found nothing. Hell I am not even sure this is the proper forum for the question...but thought experienced mechanics might have SOME thoughts.

Has anyone here dipped their bike? If so, what do you think of the process and the results?
Thanks.
Why not just strip it down, wash the frame, apply some cleaner-wax and some love?
