    PlastiDip started peeling off, so now it's carbon fiber! I used some vinyl wrap that I had laying around.

    Plasti-dip

    I am not a fan of Plasti-Dip. I coated a cooler with white so as not to use as much ice on my Western trip. note RED coolers melt ice faster. The edges came up and about anything would knock a chunk out of the finish. However it did keep the cooler cooler. I totaled the trailer with the Wing so did not have to peel the white off. So here I am again with a red cooler on my Bunkhouse camper. Duh! It matches the fast RED F6B..

    I'm currently on my 2nd round of trying plasti-dip on my cubby. As Texas TC said, the cables on my right bar bumps my cubby, leaves a tear in the plasti-dip. Also, when you try to remove the cubby lids it tears. Plasti-dip is good in certain applications, just not this one, at least not for me. I'll be doing a good old fashioned Krylon rebuild on my cubby next week. I'm pretty sure it'll last longer.

    I have not had any peeling, only the cables scratching the coated bracket from the throttle cables. I use mine daily for my water bottle or Diet Mountain Dew can without any problems. I will admit I do not take the rubber lids off. If I want in the box, I open it with a key. I am pleased with Plasti Dip.
