I'm looking to use a spray-on rubbery material that is smooth to paint the fairings on my bike as well as possibly in the future to re-coat my rubberized helmet, etc. I'm looking for recommendations. I've heard some are smooth and some are textured/rough, and that they're not at all the same.
So far I've heard of :
- Rhino
- Plastex
- http://www.chirienterprise.com/index.html (out of Quebec)
- Line-X
It is absolutely critical that the parts DO look rubbery and smooth, and DON'T look plasticy or like cottage cheese like this: http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...Progress01.jpg <-- bad, undesirable, yuck, FAIL
This stuff looks ok, texture-wise, and is supposedly duplicolor rattlecan bedliner paint: http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...rch09003-1.jpg
Any advice?

Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done, because I am living proof otherwise.

+1 my truck bed was done by Line-X, and Ive also used 2 brands of DIY spray liner from CT.....All will give you a heavily textured finish, because that is what they are designed to do...Originally Posted by Red_Liner740
With the DIY spray cans you can manipulate the amount texture a little depending on how you spray it, but even when you spray it as smooth as possible its still more texture then what your looking for...
Also keep in mind Rihno liner or Line-X etc is not cheap, just a truck bed runs around $600
This EZ-liner from Canadian tire, sprayed as smooth as I could

Spray version of plastidip. Ive seen a couple of ppl of use it for exterior car trim and it turned out quite well.
After researching a lot with Plasti-dip that stuff sounds excellent. I've seen car rims done with it that have held up at least 6 months after the fact, and if the stuff does peel off, it seem to do no damage to the layer below, so reapplication can be swift and inexpensive.
Thanks guys, keep em coming -- examples, advice, everything is appreciated.

Did you use Plasti-Dip to accomplish this successfully?

Five coats, you say? How long do you wait in between coats? Is the Plasti-Dip still wet (tacky?) while you apply the next coat, etc?

I waited about 30 min between coats. Most of it was dry but some spots were still tacky.
