FAQs
What is the best way to prepare a surface before applying Plasti Dip Blaze Orange?
Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, and debris. Ensure it is completely dry. For maximum color vibrancy, apply 2-3 coats of regular Plasti Dip White as a base and let it dry completely.
How many coats of Plasti Dip Blaze Orange should I apply?
For best results and proper peelability, it is recommended to apply 4-6 thin coats of Plasti Dip Blaze Orange. Ensure adequate drying time between each coat.
Can Plasti Dip Blaze Orange be applied over other Plasti Dip colors?
Yes, it can be applied over other Plasti Dip colors, but for the most vibrant and true fluorescent orange, applying over a white base coat is recommended.
How long does Plasti Dip Blaze Orange last?
The longevity depends on the application and environmental conditions. Properly applied and cured, it can last for several years, but it is designed to be peelable and is not a permanent coating.
Is Plasti Dip Blaze Orange suitable for automotive use?
Yes, Plasti Dip is widely used for temporary automotive customization, including wheels, trim, and emblems. Ensure proper application and cure time for best results.
Can I paint over Plasti Dip Blaze Orange?
While you can paint over Plasti Dip, it is generally recommended to peel off the existing Plasti Dip layer first if you wish to change the color drastically or apply a different type of coating for optimal adhesion.
What temperature is best for applying Plasti Dip Blaze Orange?
Apply Plasti Dip when temperatures are between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C) in a well-ventilated area. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Shake the can thoroughly before and during use. Ensure the nozzle is clear; if not, remove and clean it according to manufacturer instructions. Keep the can upright and maintain a consistent spray distance.
Coating is sticky or doesn't dry properly
Application may have been too heavy or in too high humidity. Apply thinner coats in a well-ventilated area with moderate temperature and humidity. Allow more drying time.
Peeling is difficult or leaves residue
Ensure the coating was applied evenly and with sufficient thickness (minimum 4-6 coats recommended for Blaze). Try using a spray lubricant like Dixon’s Speed-Ease before peeling, and peel slowly in a controlled manner.
Color appears dull or not fluorescent
This usually indicates insufficient base coat or thin application. For optimal brightness, ensure a thorough white base coat was applied and that enough layers of Blaze Orange were applied for opacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be coated is clean, dry, and free of grease or contaminants. For optimal results and the brightest orange, apply 2-3 light coats of regular Plasti Dip White as a base and allow it to dry completely before applying the Blaze Orange.
Application: Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after hearing the mixing balls. Hold the can 10-16 inches from the surface and spray in smooth, even strokes, overlapping each pass by about 50%. Apply multiple thin coats (4-6 recommended for Blaze colors) rather than one heavy coat, allowing 10-30 minutes of drying time between coats.
Compatibility: Plasti Dip adheres well to a wide variety of surfaces including metal, plastic, wood, glass, concrete, and rubber. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Care: Once fully cured, Plasti Dip is durable and can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the rubber coating.
