He's probably thinking of the paint can form that is actually used to dip things such as tool handles. When I used it on a medium durometer rubber I just cleaned it very well and it stuck just fine. I'm sure a light sandpaper prep would not hurt though.

last thing you want to do is spray the entire case interior (or exterior) with plastidip. it will act as an insulator, trapping heat in the case, regardless of how well ventilated the case is

Anyone used it, any tips?

Have some touching up to do yet, took 2 full cans BTW.

@ Mr. Stroker

The main reason I went with the plasti dip is because of the sound dampening properties.
The aluminum Tsunami needs as much help as possible absorbing radiated noise.

Looks pretty sweet. How thick of a layer did you apply?

looks great actually, didnt realize it dried so thin. I was picturing a thick layer of rubber all in the case I retract my prediction above. Let us know how the temps are

2 coats (2 full cans) leaves a layer about as thick as a balloon.
A blade of grass blew onto it while I was inside, it dried and when I peeled it off, some of the coating came off.

Oh yeah

This stuff goes on real nice, no running or any thing.

I'll be curious how durable it is once it dries.
