WOW Guys, we are so excited for all the exposure that this product has been getting. Im going to try and scroll through all the questions and then see if I miss anything:

First and foremost: This product is NOT Plasti-Dip, we have created this product from scratch and hold the patent for this for over a year. This product sprays on like paint using automotive paint guns, and is removable like vinyl. This is a professionally installed product, and it is not available for the DIYers. Our color chart has over 50 colors on it and it is expanding as we grow our with metallics included. This is advertised as a plastic coating based on the raw materials that we use to create this product. We have many installers that also spray Plasti-dip, but they also offer our product. All we have heard is that customers love a higher end product, and that they wont have to worry about it damaging thier vehicle under removal like a vinyl wrap would.

We can try and answer any other questions you guys have, but if we missed something, feel free to PM us and that will ensure that your question gets answered to the fullest extent.

Cost? Or estimated cost?

plasti-dip and related products are also sprayed on with a spray gun and removed the same way you'd remove vinyl. What makes this better than plasti-dip type products? Or rather, why should we purchase this instead of using plasti-dip or vinyl (if the cost of this is close to vinyl, which i doubt as vinyl wraps are $$$)

Vinyl wrap does not damage a vehicle unless the paint was damaged to begin with or something in the chemicals of the vinyl have affected the paint (which Oracal, Hexxus, 3M don't have)

Demon,

We have installers selling Plasticoat jobs for an Evo for around $1200 or so, depending on location or any other work that the customer would like done.

When using 3M vinyl wrap, it would cost close to $1000 in materials alone to wrap the Evo X in our avatar, when you'd be spending less than half of that in materials with Xytek Plasticoat. Some installers work closely with vinyl shops since they are able to apply vinyl, airbrush, and pin striping to Xytek as well.

We are not comparing ourselves to Plasti-dip for the main reason that it is not comparable as to how much prep must be taken, along with properly masking the vehicle and using automotive style paint guns. On top of that, since we do not sell to the general public, this is an installer only service.

$1200 is a pretty big price for a rubberized spray. Is this as easily removable as plastidip?

Thinking of it like PlastiDip is something we are trying to help move away from the market base. Anyone who has seen or used the PlastiDip product knows it is not intended for use on cars, and sees how faded and see through it can be without proper application.

Our product covers completely in its first wet coat, with zero transparency. All of our colors are protected agains fading under the 2 year warranty. This is something that can only be applied by a certified installer, as this is not a DIY product or available to the general public.

When pricing out vinyl wraps, the material cost for Plasticoat is less, as well as the cost to customer. Profit is still high with the same amount or less time invested compared to traditional wrap jobs. That is the consumer market that we are looking to target. With our new gloss clear in development, we are attempting to have the end result look as close to automotive clear coat as possible.

This is very cool, I am trying to figure out how this would benefit me?
  • I am very picky about my paint. Another thing I hate is rock chips so I put 3m on my front bumper, hood, fenders, and mirrors.
  • Also I am sure that people would be skeptible about buying a car with plasticoat on it not knowing the condition of the paint underneath and guessing that someone is trying to cover something up.

Just my thoughts!

I'm going to give you some marketing advice. In order to get customers to come to you, you will have to specify exactly WHY IT IS NOT like plastidip, and I mean the actual details. Outline the pros and cons. So far, you are dodging the questions with bull**** and just turning your back with excuses. Everyone is very well aware of plastidip, it's likely your largest competitor, so it is in your benefit to educate the industry.


Good luck

We'd love to know what it is that you're looking to hear, GTijoejoe.

Unfortunately for us, PlastiDip has become the household name for pray on rubber. While our concept is the same, the product is not. Our product is a thermoplastic ceramic based coating, where Plastidip is just thinned down rubber tool dip.

Our product was engineered and designed to be sprayed on vehicles and our professional line carries a warranty to back up our product. Plastidip has no warranty, and even professional Plastidip installers only warranty their product for 30-60 days.

Pricepoint is another hurdle to jump over. Our DIY line of coatings is retailed cheaper than Plastidip, which seems to be the interest of a lot of our clients. We also carry the only Low VOC sprayable coating on the market for our customers in California and all other EPA regulated states.

These are a few of the differences that we also mention on our website, www.raail.com/coatings, so if you feel we missed something or didn't completely answer your question, feel free to PM or email us and we would be happy to get back with you.

We currently have black as a color, and you are able to use our Clear Gloss over it to leave a shiny finish if desired. While this is a two part process, the final result should be what you are looking for.
