Plasti-dip

Just wondering if anyone has done this? The GTI boys are going nuts over this stuff, and I have used it on my avalanche, but now I am considering it on my gsx...

Anyone on this site plasti-dip their whole car? pics?

I never researched the body of the car. But I did do it to the interior and looks very OEM. Check out this thread for some pics.

I plasti-dipped some areas of my interior (MOVED)

I use this stuff on everything...Just did my road bike yesterday. If you put it on thick enough its hard to scratch, but super easy to clean.

You know, I actually believe you on that one. If you used google then you wouldn't have found either of those since they are in the Hangout.

Those of you who have used this, does it need to cover an entire section/panel? Thought about doing bedliner or plastidip on the lower lip of my bumper to help protect the paint. I don't want to do the whole bumper, but didn't know if the plastidip would come off with masking tape. Thoughts?

It does come off with the tape so you need to peel it before it dries

My buddy just plasti-dipped the rims on his Porsche and I have to say it looks better than I thought. I've always been a fan of just spray canning some matte black on rims but the plasti-dip looks nice and should hold up nicely here with the Michigan winters.
