FAQs
Do I need to use a base coat with Plasti Dip Blaze?
Yes, for optimal performance and the brightest, most vibrant fluorescent colors, it is highly recommended to apply Plasti Dip Blaze over a base coat of regular Plasti Dip, preferably white.
How many coats of Plasti Dip Blaze should I apply?
Apply 3-5 thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between each. Ensure complete coverage with each layer.
How long does Plasti Dip Blaze last?
The longevity depends on application thickness, environmental conditions, and wear. It can last for several months to a couple of years with proper care. It is designed to be peelable and easily reapplied.
Can Plasti Dip Blaze be painted over?
Yes, Plasti Dip Blaze can be painted over with most automotive paints. However, it cannot be successfully painted over with standard spray paint, as the solvents can dissolve the rubber coating.
How do I remove Plasti Dip Blaze?
To remove, simply peel the rubber coating away from the surface. Start at an edge and pull slowly and steadily. If it's difficult to lift an edge, a plastic scraper or a bit of heat can help.
Is Plasti Dip Blaze suitable for high-heat applications?
Plasti Dip is not designed for high-heat applications. It can withstand moderate temperatures but may degrade or fail under extreme heat.
Can I use Plasti Dip Blaze on car exteriors?
Yes, it can be used on car exteriors for accents, trim, or even full panels, but it's recommended to apply over a proper base coat and ensure sufficient coats for durability. Remember it is peelable, so it offers a temporary aesthetic change.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or patchy coverage
Ensure the can is adequately shaken and held at the correct distance. Apply in thin, even coats, overlapping each pass. If patchy, allow to dry and apply additional thin coats.
Coating is difficult to peel
Ensure enough coats were applied (at least 3-4). Try using a razor blade or plastic scraper to lift an edge and peel slowly. Warming the surface slightly with a heat gun (on low setting) can sometimes help.
Orange peel texture
This can occur if the product is applied too cold or too far away. Ensure the can is at room temperature and apply in slightly heavier, continuous passes. Avoid stopping and starting strokes.
Runs or drips
Applied too thickly or too close to the surface. Allow the drip to dry completely, then carefully sand it down with fine-grit sandpaper and reapply thin coats.
Product not spraying evenly
Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Try clearing it by spraying upside down for a few seconds after use. If still clogged, try a new can or a replacement nozzle if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease, oil, or wax. For best results, use Plasti Dip's Multi-Surface Primer or degreaser.
- Base Coat (Recommended): Apply 2-3 thin, even coats of regular Plasti Dip (white is recommended for optimal Blaze color) and allow each coat to dry tack-free.
- Application: Shake the can vigorously for one minute. Hold the can 6-10 inches from the surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, overlapping each pass by about 50%. Apply 3-5 thin coats, allowing 30 minutes drying time between coats.
- Curing: Allow the final coat to dry for at least 4 hours before handling. Full cure typically takes 24 hours.
Compatibility:
- Works on most common surfaces including metal, plastic, wood, glass, concrete, and even fabrics.
- *Not recommended for use on surfaces that experience extreme heat or friction.*.
Care:
- Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents.
- To remove, simply peel the rubber coating away from the surface. Start at an edge and pull slowly.
