I found out something about Plasti-Dip today while trying to keep my new #3 injector from leaking - gasoline dissolves it.
I guess I could spray polyurethane it to try and make it solvent proof. Has anyone tried anything else to make it more durable? Dissolved by petroleum products is bad for automotive purposes.

Or stop being a lazy *** and take off the damn injector and replace the seal.

Gasoline isn't good for clearcoat either, but we still clearcoat cars. I think it does its job fine. What I mean is if I have to worry about gasoline eating away the plastidip'd stuff in my car, then I probably have much bigger problems to worry about lol.

Don't plastidip your fuel filler assembly, and fix any of your fuel leaks you may have. Problem solved! Otherwise fuel and petroleum products should never come in contact with any part of your car.

I was considering just painting my wheels I scratched, but after seeing this I am going to try plasti-dip http://www.plastidip.com/home_soluti...Your_Color_Kit

Real paint isn't a problem. Almost every wheel on the market (including 6ULs) are painted from the factory. As long as you're not talking about spray paint you shouldn't have an issue. Plasti-dip just doesn't get along with lots of really nasty brake dust is all I was saying.

Holy ****. You thought I was trying to seal my injector with plasti-dip? Jesus Christ.
The Plasti-dip is on my radiator shroud that covers the gap over the AC condenser. Gasoline dripped on it and instantly dissolved it.
No, I did not plasti-dip my motherfucking fuel injectors
The injector is sealed. It ate 4 o-rings but now it's sealed. My car even runs ...
