Plasti Dip’s VLP is suitable for a wide range of leather surfaces, including car seats, furniture, and accessories. It offers a durable and flexible solution that effectively restores the appearance and comfort of your seats. However, some people argue that applying too lightly can cause it to peel or stick to clothes. One tip is to spray the coating on thicker surfaces, as the thicker the coat, the easier it comes off when you get out of your car.

I used it on my car seat vinyl upholstery, on the side of the seat and worked just like you describe in the article. It is not looking perfect, but I don’t have a cut anymore. Before seeing this article I had no idea about the Performix VLP. By the way, this is the name you should search for, not Plasti Dip VLP. Many thanks for this article!
SO if my VynilLandau roof has many cracks from either sun or hail, like 100 of them all in little arcs about size of hailstone, if im plastidipping my entire car anyways, i can just go ahead and plastidip over the vynil Landau roof covering since it has some minor damage anyways and could use some sealing up against rain?
I am considering buying a used pontoon boat that has areas where the vinyl is cracked. Can I use this product to fill in the cracks before repainting? Can I gesture this product as well. Not experienced in this fiend but very handy and patient but I don’t want to get in over my head. The boat is a good deal if I don’t have to recover it.
Instead of this expensive kit that I returned because I realized what it was you can use acrylic paint Walmart has it in arts and crafts. Some have a filler you can water down acrylic jel medium or use Elmer’s Glue. That is exactly what’s in these kits. You can even use satin finish acrylic spray paint. After you’ve painted it spray it with flat clear coat to stop it from coming off. The expensive kits don’t bother telling you that.
Does PlastiDip have a clear coating to fix totally sun burnt vinyl? Suppose you have a boat and both seat bottom are totally checkered up from the sun but you just want to coat the vinyl b/c the backing is still good. Do you guys have anything that will work for that? If not, do you know what will work for that?
Of course this guy is going to show you what it can do easily. Most people don’t have a razor cutting a clean line, they have a tear like I have. I tried this product on my fairly straight vinyl tear and it absorbed into the material below the tear and not mending the 3 inch x 1/16 inch opening the tear had. I done a second application and it did seal or mend the tear, but quite visible. A article illustrating how to put a color matching patch underneath the tear might be more practical than a razor cut, but at least my tear will stop getting bigger sliding into my vinyl eating booth from a 70’s pizza parlor.
NEVER EVER PUT BLUE PAINTER”S TAPE (or any tape) ON LEATHER…NEVER! When you remove it, it will take off enough of the top layer of color on the leather and leave a non-repairable bare spot where the tape was. Not sure what it does to vinyl but from the looks of this article, it looks OK. Always test an inconspicuous non-visible area on your item first.
