Yup ridingdonkeys got it. Bought a case of the green rattle cans. Only used 3 to do 3 coats on the whole bike. Still have another 3 to re-do if necessary. Cheap, looks good and is easily reversible.
So this plasti-dip stuff can be pealed off at a later time if desired? How does the plastic fair underneath? Does it get messed up at all?
Yes, it peels off rather easily. In fact, it is prone to peeling off at contact points, such as where the tabs in two panels connect. However, it is super easy to touch up. The plastic underneath fairs just fine. There seems to be no reaction between the plasti-dip and the plastics or paint. There are tons of YouTube videos with tips on how to apply it. People actually do entire cars in this stuff all the time. These three ought to convince you that it doesn't harm anything. These are some expensive toys. It is MUCH easier to apply than paint. I showed the process for doing my plastics on my Terra-Fy thread. I just did all the white parts, and left the gloss black parts the way they were. http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/terra-fy-your-strada.34142/
Great info. I really did not know anything about this process. I guess that makes me a dip-shit, right? Anyway for other dip-shits this one video answered most of my questions. While I might get some spare panels for the Terra and give it a try, I will definitely be dipping my badly faded old Geo Tracker for sure.

When cleaning my Strada yesterday, I noticed two Terra stickers on the ground. They were from the rear side panels. The weird thing is, I bought it used with ZERO mods, so I have to think it came from the factory like that. I'm not going to replace them... when stickers fall off, I usually stay with that look.
