If you have ugly handle bar grips or just a color that needs to be changed this stuff really works. It's called plastic dip and I bought some at home depot the other day. This is not paint,(I've used paint and it flakes and scratches off easily)da this is a multi-purpose rubber coating. This stuff sprays on like rattlecan paint but you can put it on a little thicker than paint because it won't run. (just not too much). I put two coats of this stuff on and its lasted me. I'm not sure if they sell this stuff in colors other than black but it worked for me.

plasti-dip rox!! you can get it in a bucket too and dip stuff in it for like a 1/16 inch coating or twice for super fat... :mrgreen:
 
Cool find! After reading this thread I did a search to find out if I could get that stuff over here and I discovered that you can get a kit that contains a pot of clear Plasti Dip and a few little bottles of tint so you can make your own colours.

Although it looks like the spray can version comes in red, yellow, blue, black, white & clear.
