Plasti Dipped the car until I can get a quality paint job. Tried out the Navy Blue to see what it looks like. Will try to get clearer pics tomorrow..

Hey guys, quick update. Dip is holding up well, someone scratched the passenger door, but I could repair the dip easily enough.

I'm not too happy with the color, its too purple for me, but overall thats just on me for wishing I went with red. I might dip it red in a few months.

To anyone trying this.. A few things..

1. Make sure you put on enough layers, I only did two gallons (have a third gallon that i will put on soon) and it was a bit too thin in places to peel of as easily as I'd like
2. If if looks like an area that is hard to peal off, then make sure its masked off well before dipping
3. Some areas will not peel off apart from each other easily. Especially rubber molding and the car itself like on the wind shield and the hatch. An exacto knife will help.. just something to consider when masking and peeling after wards.
