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

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

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???

Check out dipyourcar(dot)com
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.

They Sell Plastidip At The Lowes Near Me For About 7$ A Can. I Picked One Up, But I Have Yet To Use It. Probably Going To Start With The Hood, And See How It Turns Out.

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
