plasti dip

[sbb888]

Has anyone tried to plasti dip the bottle on their impact, or any gun for that matter. I thought I would cover the bottle and a few other parts with it. Mostly I was curious about the chemical compound having a affect on the carbon fiber bottle.

Thanks, Bob

I don't think I would cover my bottle with anything that couldn't be removed easily so I could visually inspect the condition of said bottle.

that's the nice thing about plasti dip is you can remove when ever you want, comes in many colors, easy to apply and adds a rubbry protective coating

I used the spray can plastic dip on my avenger stock ,it didn't hold up very good and is a pain to touch up

Have used plasti dip on other items that are "handled" on a regular basis, not impressed with how that stuff holds up. My guess would be your gonna be dissapointed !!

Put a silk stocking on it,they come is different designs and colors,may make it sexier,LOL.

Just like ladders and hard hats that are a big no no to paint, a HPA bottle shouldn’t be painted as it will possibly hide faults. At least a neoprene sleeve is easily removed and replaced.


I think if plastic dip was used the urge to scrape it off to do a monthly visual inspection on it won’t happen, as I can see removing and replacing the spray on will get old real fast. 

I know there are vendors like Orion that makes 3D sleeves for bottles and moderators in all different colors that are easily slipped on and off, even easier than a neoprene cover.



ive tried plast dip on the grip of my Remington 700 30-06 cause the synthetic stock it came with got slippery when wet. That plant dip lasted one hunting trip outing. All it took was one scratch and it peeled at only certain spot and ended up looking like a big chit pizza pie

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't hold up well on things that were handled. I thought it might be ok on the bottle and shroud. I've used it on my wheels here in Colorado in the winter to keep the magchloride from messing up my wheels and it works great, then just peel off in spring to expose that beautiful chrome. I tried wrapping it in small paracord and looked pretty good but I need more practice on my knots, lol. oh well I'll keep looking. I'll look at Orion's stuff, thanks Bigragu

Here’s a link on bottle covers I found. The gun is not an FX but know this bottle is 60mm in diameter. 
George makes these at his home in Texas (i.e made in the USA) and has many colors and patterns. He probably can make one to your liking. 
It was a challenge to put on because the bottle is slick and the material cannot get a grip. But determination won out…

Thanks Davecole, l'll give him a call. Those look pretty cool. By the way, where did you get the carbon shroud?
