Plasti-Dip on weights

[claymore]

I am sure it has been done and am wondering how well Plasti-Dip works to cover hard weights? Mine very seldom if ever go on a weight belt just in weight pouches of one sort or another. Maybe a different color for each size.

shouldn't be an issue, just make sure they're dry dry before doing it. Lots of coated weights out there ,though they are usually vinyl dipped

I have tried the plastidip spray on motorcycle parts and it was extremely temporary I havent tried the stuff in the paintcan that you dip wrenches in but it might not stick around long in scuba use.

I've successfully used tool dip on soft lead V-weights that I made. A couple coats seem to be reasonably durable, but once the weights are in place between the tanks, they're not subject to much wear.

I've tried the spray on Plasti-Dip, with the results being that they seem ok for 15 dives, and then start peeling like crazy. I've started just giving my weights a quick and light coat of cheap spray paint to mark them as mine, and then don't worry about it. While the finish is by no means flawless after many dives, most quick-dry spray paint won't come off in sheets like the plasti-dip will.
