Plastidip equivalent available in Aus?

TechGuy10

Anyone know of an equivalent paint to the Plastidip that Linus, Paul, Kyle and so many others in the tech space recommend that's available in Australia? I want to spiffy up my laptop shell as a proof of concept for a future project ;)

 

Thanks in advanced!

I believe it is called paint... and a clear coat to finish (sometimes not needed).  Make sure it is for plastic if you case is plastic.

For paint I use VHT (gloss or semi gloss is better IMO than matte stuff). High quality and not to hard to find.
You can get Plastidip in Australia.

You can buy Plastidip from Autobarn, pretty expensive though. Like $25 for a single can

Every loud bang is a lesson learned.

Supercheap Auto sells the stuff and they're everywhere

For a laptop I'd suggest to use vinyl wrap plasti-dip lacks that abrsion or contact pressure so it will rip easily, but others such as Armour All, Flexidip from Rustoleum and some other ones out there.
