Plasti dip 10th AE
So I am a college kid. I am thinking about dipping my 10th AE rx7...cheaper than paint and can hold off until I have the money to paint it properly.
Paint is faded, car has had damage and rusting.
Does the white plasti dip look good or should I change the color?

well in that case, if you are going to the trouble of using a spray gun to shoot paint, then spend a couple hundred more and get hardener, ect. and do it right. going to spray this in the garage or a driveway? or are you renting a booth?
If the later, then just do it right. Hell, maaco is just as cheap for a "quick spray" and at least with that you get clear coat.

We are going to be Plastidipping the project Z car and here's why we decided on dip instead of paint:
-Our car is a melange of colors and we want to visualize it as a solid before we pick a final paint color (we're going matte black).
-We have lots of body work and the thicker buildup of the dip will help cover flaws.
-Masking is less critical (because overspray peels off).
-It's easily removed, so when/if we go for paint this step will be reversible without a lot of work.
-We anticipate lots of future mechanical work and that is always tough when you're tip toeing around nice/fresh paint. The dip is easily touched up (this was also the primary reason behind applying bedliner in the engine bay).
-I've seen the results of a professionally sprayed car and think it looks damn good.

I need to look into this product more, but does it have a clear coat top? I am one who wax/polishes via buffer every so often and I would hate to burn the stuff off after a few "polishes".
