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..

I think its fine cause u can really play with the colors and see what u like

i seen a plasti dipped s2k on facebook, looks decent

Here my bike



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.

Sorry for the grammar my phone is evil......

I'm going to paint my car white with plastidip. :)

so you wont be painting it...
but i think white is the only good looking plastidip. leaving a few black accents

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?

I'm gonna do it.

^^^ 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!

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.

it peels off. youtube "plasti dip" or "dip your car"

i plati dipped my fender, was thinking of plastidipping my car but changed my mind...decided to keep it panda for the time being , wasnt bad though i was trying to find the pics but cant find them all i have was a short vid of removing it from my fender,

have you ever used google!? :lol: it peels off like a skin.. do some research its pretty neat!

i'm doing mine white. and i'm going to paint my wheels bright orange ^___^ i can't wait for everyone to hate 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.

everyone this is Gloria our lucky subject!:)

and last night with my buddy riding down the road I came to a dead stop he says dude wtf are you doin!? I told him something amazing just happened!Attachment 478702

lol 68000 miles on the clock kinda sad kinda happy, they grow up so quick!!:tear:

I did my wheels black. My car is black so it looks pretty dope, but it doesn't last very long and isnt that durable.
It's really a waste of time if you ask me. Maybe on a show car that never saw the road?
I would rather wrap it in vinyl.

If I can get some in lil ole nz cheap enough might do my rwd 323 wagon army green. So weird I've never heard of this before being a panel beater

I did my wheels in red earlier this summer. It looked ok and was something different but it started to peel off the spokes so I took it off. It came off alright but I didn't get it thick enough in some areas because it doesn't want to come out of the little nooks in the wheels. There's still some on the fake three piece screws and in the lug nut holes that I'm too lazy/dont know how to get out... I would advise anyone who is planning on doing this to make sure not to get over spray on anything. If its thick enough to peel off its easy to remove (4-5 good coats), anything thinner is a pita to get off.

your car + meshies=:boink: pure sex!:)

Im not going to try this on the outside of my car but hows this stuff on our old britle dash pieces? Would it work?

I've seen ppl do it right and pressure wash there cars and nothing happened I've seen it last for 2 years maybe more you need to buy the spry gun not spray cans.....imo

Wow that looks fucking awesome. But the red looks more of a orange hue.

I did my wheels on my daily they look awesome and its held up really well. I really can't complain about blacking out my wheels for $15.

I'd do it again in a heart beat. Actually I want to do my FC wheels in red as well.

got the dip just been swamped with work! hope to get a start with my day off tomorrow!:)

^im stoked.

I did it!!!!:)

Not bad at all. Did u use the cans only? How much total did it cost for what u used

I used 7 tubes of the straight dip and two aerosol cans on the hood! I say use the tubes and a sprayer they work the best! I used paint thinner, just a little over half and half it hides bilimishes very well, im going to do another coat later and redo the hood.. but im satisfied I didnt wanna sand off the original paint.. so this worked out great!
oh and it was $55 bucks for 7 tubes at home depot! 14 oz tubes.. so sprayer and all I got $110 in it..:)

Sorry to bump this. Figured id post my car and 2 cents. did mine with rattlecans and plan to redo it and my s14 with the pro kit. its durable as fuh if you let it cure. Ive hit cones and ripped of my bumper with minimal damage to the dip.

All via rattlecans. Cant wait to order the pro kit and try out that nifty lookin sprayer. Pretty sure the FC is doable with 1.5 gallons or so give or take. Was reading up on a guy who purchased the pro kit for his FD and managed to get a perfecto paintjob with that amount.

Yea they do that.. Thats why they never get caught

they actually get away quite a bit. I live in long beach, and i've seen plenty of people get away. shit my own dad has gotten away at least 15 times, although one time he was ripped to shreds and de-clothed under a house :lol: and as a matter of a fact, today is the day he gets out! funny coincidence.

not saying getting away is cool or anything, but it's definitely possible.

finally some pics!:) yeah im ripping my hood off and redoing it and putting another coat on with the rattle cans.. if u get your spray pattern right they look better than the sprayer in my opinion..




lmao:lol: congrats!!

I did a buddies of mines gmc truck a few days ago with the cans and like it better than my car I did with the gun! we ran out on the hood.. but imma get some cans and add another coat to the 7!

Attachment 482233

doing my 87 in matte white. pics soon. ish..:egrin:

I may do this too.The body is not "good enough" to get 3k in paint.I would rather Plasti-dip and make it look better for the lower price.

Im looking forward to seeing a matte white plasti dip fc!
