Why don't you just not paint it then? Instead of spending money on something you'll have to undo and looks like you just primered it.

because as of now my car is badly faded and has primed spots on it, and if i paint it I want it to be right and not with cheap paint, plus I DD the car and cant afford to have it down that long.. and would like it to be all one color!

I'd paint my FC their new matte purple just for shits and gigs.

Paint job = 2-4,000
Plastidip whole car + equipment = 400-500

The cool thing about plastidip is I've seen people paint over the plastidip with real paint that way they could eventually peel that off aswell.

Well if anything, pick a colour, other than black. The plastic dip black looks like a crappy rattlecan job.

I actually rly like the gunmetal grey.. and I think ill just get a gallon and some thinner and my gun and go to town with it.. if it turns out shitty just rip tht shit off and keep adding money to the car jar. ill have maybe $200 in it, maybe less. so no harm done..

Doing a how car requires a spray gun. The larger surfaces will really show if done with a spray can.

YouTube plasti dip your car on YouTube the guy haze the products for sale and some cool how to videos.

No, I am going to paint it with a paint gun. You can buy a gallon of platidip, it's cheaper that way :)

I was heavily considering it for a while, but got lucky and stumbled upon a great deal for body shop and paint from a new start up shop. I've spent lots of time reading in the dyc forums. I do not like the gun metal at all. If you are gonna dip, custom mix a color. A dark blue would amazing. 3:1 blue to black. And then you have to worry about your technique. It could get ugly really quick.

What the hell is plasti dip?

barkz 10-16-12 07:47 AM

Let me google that for you

beachFC 10-16-12 11:51 AM

I'm gonna do it.

T&B rotary 10-16-12 12:31 PM

^^^ lol... mx-3 4evr im going to do the same and getting the gallon and some thinner, my car is charcoal grey so I dont think gunmetal will be so bad, might go white that s2k turned out very nice! for a removable color you cant beat it.. ill post some pics of my car in a bit, ill start dipping it this weekend!

ben.farnath 10-16-12 12:37 PM

What? You wanna use underseal for paint? That's gonna be delightful to remove when it's actual paint time.why wouldn't you use regular spray cans and aerosol clear if you are gonna go ghetto fabulous on it.

That is some impressively crazy stuff. Makes me think of people in car chase pull into a garage, ten minutes later it's all off and bam different car.
