Eastwood wants you to coat something in rubber

I got mine using Firefox.

Deal seems dead...true?

Woo-hoo! Got my can of gray metallic today. Can't wait to try it over my truck's rusty rear bumper!

In reply to Woody:

Did you get a shipping confirmation email? I've only received the initial email and that was 6 days ago. What carrier was it shipped through?

I'll have to check. I did get a confirmation but didn't look too close. I think it was ups.

I finally got my shipping confirmation email today.

In reply to Woody: Is it an aerosol can? I picked the same color as you and just wondering.

In reply to nicksta43:

Yes aerosol.

I also received mine today via FedEx.

I'm not good at this waiting game

For once, we want neither pics nor video.

Especially if you use the glow-in-the-dark stuff!

got mine yesterday

I emailed tech support regarding what a can will cover, they're claiming "Approximately 15sqft at 50% overlap."

I got my can today.....my Challenge car will likely have yellow wheels.

Got my can today. Since I had no particular project in mind when I ordered it, I chose boring old 'burnout black'. The Mrs. says I should've gotten pink or orange.

mine came today

aircooled said: 3 gallons to cover a typical car... that's get pretty pricey pretty quick.

The kit price for three gallons, prep, various application tools AND a sprayer is right there with the DipYourCar products. Because of name recognition, Eastwood needs to offer something at least as good as DYC if not demonstrably better.

I dunno, it could be argued that Eastwood has far better name recognition...

Thought #1: Don't spray it on too thin guys, if you don't get multiple coats of full coverage at least with Plastidip, it WILL NOT PEEL. Then you just have a big mess. Overspray similarly does not peel, so mask properly.

Thought #2: dipyourcar.com really were the ones who made this concept so popular by making it accessible and publishing dozens of youtube videos showing all the techniques. Now here come the knock-offs looking to capitalize on someone else's hard work. I'm okay with some competition in the space, but also feel it's kind of unfair for some big well established companies to move in on the little guy's start-up because they were so successful due to their terrific customer service.

re. Thought #2 … dipyourcar.com hasn't offered me a free bottle … plus I'd never heard of them 'til now

Dipyourcar is well known in a certain subset of the community, but has nowhere near the reach that Eastwood does. Not all car guys drive cheap imports, which seems to be the main demographic for DYC.

Hey guys and gals!

I'm a tech over at the Eastwood Company, my name is Sean by the way, and have been moderating and also been very in depth with our Elastiwrap project and wanted to say thanks for the support! I know I spoke to a few of you already over the phone or email.

But I'd like to make a request on everyone who participated in the free give away, for those of you doing projects, trying it out ect. I'd love to get content from you all. Photo's, videos, your projects that you're using the product on.

Feel free to shoot me a PM i'll give you my email and we can go from there. If you have any questions I'd also be happy to answer them

Thank you again for the support!

I wouldn't suggest extending that invitation to aircooled.

Mine also got delivered today (Fedex). Can't wait to try it out on my wheels...

Got mine today. I will need to make time to get the Mustang's bumper off so I can get to the upper grille.
