Plastidip Whole Car Options

[rave2n]

Alright folks...I got a wild hair, and need to address it.

I want to plastidip the whole red GT.

There are a few reasons for such.

1. The current paint is horrible and ugly as sin with clear chipping off everywhere.
2. I will be swapping over black doors..and obviouslly I'd like the colors to match atleast some!
3. After seeing a couple done online, it doesn't look half bad, and would look better than what I have now.
4. Easy removal for when the swap is done, and the whole car will be professionally painted then.
5. I have a bunch of exterior bits I want to put on, but cannot because of the current red paint situation, this will have them all one color until it comes time to paint correctly.

According to calculations I should be needing about 25 cans. The paint is "flat" black..I'd call it more of a semi-gloss. There should be approx 5-6 coats depending on which panel is being painted. Will be done in stages to avoid uneven layers.

Lets hear thoughts on why and why nots please.

Did I mention I hate red, and love black cars?

So I used the kit today, and I would like to retract my previous negative comment.

There were more items in the sprayer box that made up for my previous gripe.

The kit worked well, and the sprayer was 5yr simple to use.

Paint looks great from what I can see. I barely taped things off, just sprayed a good 5 coats, and peeled away the excess.

Will post pics tomorrow when the sun is shining
