Plastidipped my car.

Toshi Tony in the house.

There was a thread a grip ago,with plastidipped interior peices.

I picked up a used front bumper in great shape a few months ago for my GS and I plastidipped it Saturday. Wasn't too bad and it looks slick...think I'm going to do the entire car I did take before pics while prepping but forgot to do after

Incase it hasn't been brought up yet, theres a site that sells "kits" to plastidip your entire car.

DYC Home - Plasti Dip For Your Car - Resources & More at DipYourCar.com NEW Glossifier

Comes with the paint, paint gun, all that. I know a couple people that have used it already, came out really good. They have video tutorials, aftercare products, etc.

I was just looking at those this morning Big price difference compared to 10-12 cans of it :/

Man some of those shots look really good. I have a question though. How did you get it to lay out so smooth?

I tried it on some drip rails i had laying around and it looked awful. It bubbled up pretty bad. I sprayed several layers on it. It took maybe 6 layers before the bubbles were no longer visible. But at that rate it would take me 20 cans just to do my window trims.

Wish i would have got some pics before i peeled it off.

O and i tried a plastic door mirror too. It didnt bubble but it still looked like shit. Not sure what im doing wrong really. Any suggestions?

 

[raiderrodney]

I finished the GS up about a month ago (entire car) and it came out great in some areas and not so great in others. The worst to me being the hood. Think I'll peel it off and redo one day. If I do, I'll be sure to take it off so I can stand it up to where the can can be held in an upright position during spraying. This seems to be where I got inconsistencies. But overall I've had a bunch of compliments on it. I will try and get some pics up some time.

Thats actually not bad!! Will you be making it to the Factory MOD on the 22nd? Itd be nice to actually see this car in person!

 

[tkrPerformance]

Don't think so have to put in a new engine it

Any new updates on where to get plasti dip at a really good price? I've look on eBay and such but the shipping always kills the deal. Thx

Hard to beat Lowe's or Home Depot IF you're local ones stock it. Shipping isn't terrible at dipyourcar.com but It's higher per can.

hey guys, those of you that do not want to mask off your tires on your wheels, just use a tire dressing on it before you paint the wheel, the plasti-dip cannot adhere to it so it basically just peels off. Easy peasy

Great advice, actually. I just did it this last weekend.

Hey guys well as you can see my car was painted Orange from the owner before me and its already chipping and the clear coats coming off in spots and to be honest I don't really like the Orange to much anymore... Anyway I've always been a fan of white talons and I don't have the money right now to get a good paint job So what do you guys think about plasti dipping my entire car white? There's a kit on dipyourcar.com and they have videos of cars going through carwashs with brushes and pressure washers and it held up Fine do you guy think its worth the $100-$150 to plasti dip it myself?

I've had success with plastidip on my window trim, but with winter coming up I wouldn't bother. Doubt it will hold up to ice scraping against it -- it is meant to come off afterall

 

[Sws]

I think with winter coming, it would actually be a great idea. After like a few weeks it takes to cure, it is very difficult to take off, unless you're trying to.

Lol. The white seemed to be thinner than the black. Took more costs to cover up existing colorRemoving it after a long period of time becomes more difficult as it does what rubber does, becomes brittle. Don't make the same mistake as me and skip taping off. It's a cool look though. Good luck.

 

[Babnaw]

Dose it peel up easy my drive ways at work at steep and I scrap a lot and worried it would just keep peeling up instead of scratching like normal paint

 

[Tha Fella Dylan]

It would take a good amount of force to peel up. My brother dipped his jeep rims and rashed them a few times before it peeled up. That or a sharp edge. Touching up is easy.

 

[Twinturbo120]

How about the $50 dollar paint job? Rustolum paint with rollers.

 

[Tha Fella Dylan]

^ show me this.
