It looks like it could work, but seeing as it is rubber if you painted your whole scooter you might add a few pounds if you care. If you put it on the bottom of your deck you would probably not be able to slide on rails or anything. Cruiser might be the only thing is good for, unless you put it in only certain spots.

Id probobly work, but Josh made a good point, the rubber will make it heavier. And nice mini vid

I was thinking of that, maybe just on bars and forks or whatever. How much is it for a can?

Another weird thing to try would be spray on bed liner, I saw some guy paint his sportbike with that stuff and it looked pretty cool. It would probably be a lot more durable, too.

it might work, it would be really cool if it did. i dont know how well it would adhere to scooter parts, it peals off metal unless your careful with it. try it out and post the results. also, try mixing sand into it and using like grip tape, id like to see if that would work also.

thats the stuff you dip stock foam grips into to make them rubber coted foam. they are grippy like bmx grips but still soft like foam grips. it also makes them tear resistant. i have made some but i dont really like to ride them, just my preference. alot of people would probably love em.

you just do like 3 coats on each grip, letting it dry in between dippings.

i think it would stick because on the site, it says
"can be applied to anything that paint is applied to and more."
i just liked the idea of it because it cant get damaged or cracked like paint.

maybe you could just spray your deck and re do it like once every few months as a replacement for griptape if its really grippy? but it would suck if it got wet...

imagine pro grips with this stuff on them
that would feel so nice
and you could probally paint metal cores with this stuff

too cause if you mess up, you just peel it of, and try different colors
