Enter your Project Type, Wheel Size, Number of Items, and Number of Coats, and the Plasti-Dip Calculator tells you exactly how many cans you'll need — plus your Total Cost and Total Coverage Area — so you never run short halfway through a dip job.

For best results, apply 4-5 coats of Plasti-Dip. This provides optimal coverage, durability, and makes removal easier if needed. Light coverage (3 coats) may not peel off cleanly, while 6+ coats use more product than necessary.
An 11 oz can typically covers 4-5 square feet with multiple coats, while a 14.5 oz can covers 6-7 square feet. Coverage depends on application technique, surface texture, and number of coats applied.
A dull or hazy finish is usually caused by high humidity during application. Apply in low humidity conditions or add 5-10% Plasti-Dip thinner to reduce this problem. Plasti-Dip naturally has a matte finish.
Primer is not always necessary, but it can improve adhesion on certain surfaces. Clean the surface thoroughly before application. For best results on metal wheels, consider using primer for better durability.
Sagging occurs when applying too thick coats or removing items too quickly when dipping. Apply thin, even coats and allow proper drying time between coats. Move spray can further away if experiencing runs.
While you can add colorants or pigments to create custom colors, it may affect the product's performance and removability. For best results, use official Plasti-Dip colors or enhancers designed for the product.
Wheel coverage varies by size: 13-15 inch wheels need about 1.5-2 sq ft per wheel, 16-18 inch wheels need 2-3 sq ft, and 19+ inch wheels need 3-4 sq ft. Factor in spoke design complexity for more accurate estimates.
