I'll be going the plastidip route as well.

However, I find it amusing that some of the people I've seen praise your plastidip ideas, have also blasted and talked trash about plastidip to other members.

The hypocrisy on this forum is hilarious.

 

Phil, just to clarify, you don't use any spacers with those, do you?

Both cars look stunning, as always...

 

Damn, can't get the gallon + spray kits here in CA!

 

I'm getting better.. Did 4 cars so far and all seems to be pretty good. Stripes? Hmm.. that might be tougher to get a clean line.. Some have a good luck with clean lines but me, Not so much. might be easier with 2 people vs. one..

Meh.. People need to understand what its for.. If those thinking its a permeant replacement of traditional paint, than this stuff isn't for you. But as stated, cheap alternative to protect and give your car a new look,... TEMPORARY Look. This is an amazingly cheap way to do so. I think many sees poorly done and also done as an alternative is what give this material a bad name. But as I stated, this vs. Vinyl that costs least 2 times as much and 2x more time to install, I would choose plasti dip.

Thank you! No spacers and I'm running very conservative camber.

Yeah, That does suck.. But I'm sure you have relatives or friends in another state

 

^^Hey Phil, do they make it in a clear finish? Has anyone experimented with it as a clear bra for the nose?

 

Plasti Dip do make something called, "CLEAR". But its in fact bit matte finished srpay. It will protect your car, but will not give you that 'Clear Bra' look. But for $6-8 dollars a can, it might be a good alternative to blue tape during travel etc.

There are however more specific spray on bra that came out within past year. One is '3M paint defender'. Same concept as plasti dip but costs around $25-30 a can. I personally never used this stuff but I did hear, it performed OK.

Here is a video of 3M:


And Armor All's stuff..

Custom Shield | Armor All

Which to me seems VERY similar to just plasti dip.. Again, I haven't used this product but options available seems simliar at 2x the price.

 

Just to get my dick down and my head back to reality, roughly how much money have you sunk into these two?

 

^ lol

 

Don't ever plasti dip ur car it's hard to do and if you don't get even coats you'll get streeks yeeeks

 

Don't ever land on the moon. It's hard to do and if you don't do your maths properly you'll crash and die.

 

Hey phil. Any track days coming up? Id like to see how our cars did against each other

 

I know hey. I've already got plans for my money, like building my own bikes, cars and planes from scratch. I don't need the temptation of an entirely separate money pit.

 

There might be one in Feb. at TGPR.

There is one on Feb 14th at Barbers but not sure if my wife will allow.

What you have in your car?

 

Fixed

 

Pettit racing did all my motor work and turbo work and its running the r1 suspension. I autox it a lot

 

Using punctuation is hard to do, as well.

 

We are trying to do one in end of Feb or March.. if you have facebook friend me and I'll be keeping people updated through it.

Thanks!
Regarding Dip, At this point I have enough experience and also many many have seen my work to say its not difficult nor hard unless you lack the effort to learn... Which, I've seen many in this world.
