I've used it on the handles of pliers and hammers. Very rubbery and makes for a nice grip.
Plasti Dip(help silence your case)
Anyone have experience using Plasti Dip?
I was at HD looking for U channel, of course they didn't have any.
Thought I'd get some spray paint to paint my cases, saw the Plasti Dip and thought..hmm I'll try that.
Anyone used it, any tips?

Not specifically as u channel molding, for the whole interior

Just wondering if it applied the same as spray paint.

Should I prep the surface, other than a good cleaning?

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.

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.
