- Sun Jul 01, 2012 6:37 am #309838 I'm seeing this plastidip stuff to be a new trend lol

i think its cheap way to cover up mismatched body panels, but a good paint job is always better imo

- Sun Jul 01, 2012 6:44 am #309839 yeah i want to paint my car but i want to plasti dip it after i do it for that matte black color but ima paint my car blue i can just take the plasti dip off when i get tired of it that was i dont have to do all of the effort of body work to re paint it if i wanna change colors

- Sun Jul 01, 2012 7:41 am #309843 why paint your car in the first place
just change colors whenever you get bored lol
seems like a 3-4 hour project and they have like 8 colors available
definitely easier than a wrap

- Sun Jul 01, 2012 8:14 am #309844 cause im taking a auto body class this fall and i got to have something to paint so ima paint my car

- Sun Jul 01, 2012 8:45 am #309847 now it makes sense haha

so could you plastidip the window trim ? my trim is all cracked and crappy looking

i think that would be the ultimate use of plastidip

- Mon Jul 02, 2012 4:34 am #309921 sweet guess i'll do it and take pics lol been looking for an easier way to do it and since i can leave it on the car this way...WIN lol

- Sun Jul 08, 2012 11:42 am #310334 Really loving the idea of this but need to sort my bodywork first so will probably do that and have a good surface to put this down.

Anyone reccomend a good place to order it from also anyone know how long it's gonna last for???

They have lots of pics and you can order from them too. On the site you can order plastidip by the gallon and spray it out of a wagner power painter. I painted my wheels on my silverado and they turned out awesome.

Plasti dip is fun , def don't recommend doing body work with it because it is basically removable matte paint. but its fun for a cheap little project like rims,

i painted my track r's all white they look pretty clean. but it still kinda has a cheap feel to it ...again it just looks like matte.

I know you can paint over the dip after you did a few layers, i have a few extra cans and i think im gonna have some fun with that ability.

anyways thats my input
