put my kit back on so i needed to dip it. added another gallon to the whole car, but tinted the dip just a bit darker by adding a bit of black. I like the darker shade.
   thats my bike dipped in olive drab. |

you could do some black effects on it, like the raiser block in mat black dip, hood scoop and vents...some small details, would make it look sick!

After seeing the color in the daylight this morning, I really like it with the darker shade. Looks much better than the original "navy blue" color I got from dipyourcar. All I did was add one small bottle of black from their tint kit. Much Better

That looks awesome, possibly awesome enough to try it myself. I've never used plasti dip though... what does the texture feel like compared to paint?

Copied from another forum:
QUOTE (ask92 @ 04-16-2013 02:34 PM)  I have a friend that did his 350z in white with the dipyourcar.com kit. He put 6 coats(3 gallons) on knowing he would have it on a while, and hoping it would help with the durability and peeling. When he did it:  After it was all done it looked great for the first few months:  However, as time went on he found it was very very hard to clean, and that it was staining all over. Yes this is white, but I would imagine stains on black would still show somewhat.. Finally after 11 months he decided to peel it, and lets just say its not "peeling".This was taken after many many hours of "peeling":  (The rims are painted, not plastidipped BTW.) Not only is it a HUGE pita to get off, but as you can see on the fender it is taking paint with it. He has tried all kinds of things, and the only things that seems to work to get it off in any kind of section is steam, or if it is very very cold.. Just my .02 and personal experience with plastidip, but I will stick with plastidip for small things like rims, emblems, computer cases, etc.. This is just my personal take on an entire car, but I have heard of this happening a lot when taking it off so be weary. This post has been edited by SupraKid: May 14, 2013 - 10:58 AM |

you need at the very least 4 good coats on it if you want it to peel off nice. When ever I do mine, I'm going to be doing 5-6.

If you have trouble peeling it, using a heat gun will loosen it up, and have it come out more as one piece.

Adhering to the paint is not the issue, its adhering to the OTHER plastidip that's the issue. You can sit and scratch it with your nail and take it right off, but it comes off in tiny little pices. |

Dunno, I haven't had trouble peeling mine, and redoing a section. I did sand the whole car before application though.../shrug. |

my car was four different colors after the fenders, mirrors and body work as well as stock paint job past its prime... so if it turns out sour, then i'm not worried, its getting a real paint job when i'm done playing with the dip and the wallet allows.. Personally I wouldn't have done this if I had a nice paint job on the car just incase it went south. For my purpose and current needs, its working well
