Plasti dip

 

Hope you didn't pay £1500? You can do a whole car for £300 with all the kit and it's sooo easy to do, with YouTube and the instructions https://www.dipyourcar.com/product.p...&cat=15&page=1

 

It really isn't easy to do, and you need a dust free garage too (which I don't have). If I was just doing a couple of details or stripes, I'd consider doing it at home, but not for the whole car (done very well).

 

At least nobody's gonna steal it mate

 

Ha ha, yeah that's true.

It's very Marmite and I don't like it personally but it does look like they have done a good job.

The write up is very good, can't wait for the 6 month review.

 

Yeah I don't like marmite , but it is a go job .. You doing the side skirts to & what's it like to clean out of interest.

 

bl00dy hell!

fair play for doing something different

 

I like it, I wanted to do my old track MR2 like this but the paint was expensive compared to £25 for matt black rattle cans

 

Nothing abusive to add but it looks like £15 not £1500 The concept is sound the colour is regrettable

 

 

Very restrained Stu

It's a Piston Heads car

 

looks gay

 

+1, I've seen these jobs done on driveways on a nice day - certainly not £1500s worth of work as there isn't even any prep to do other than a quick wash

 

Sorry about that, but not for me.

 

Sorry mate, but what were you thinking when you decided on that colour. OMG. Maybe a different colour would work better.

 

For me, it's not so much the colour, but the car.

I think matte purple would of worked on an aggressively styled STI saloon and 18 inch black wheels.
But a standard bug wagon just doesn't pull it off imo.

Have to be honest and say that it looked better in the shiny mica blue.
Bright side though, at least you can just peel it off yourself lol

 

Tristan's car???

 

no no no ! purple doesn't look right on any car!

Unless its a deep midnight purple on a Skyline.

 

what? who? where?

 

If you check the PH page the original pic before it turned bell end purple is entitled "Tristan's car"

 

Yeeeeeees the pic in this thread is the 1 im referring to as homosexual

 

So we agree then bio, gotta laugh at that name for some reason and I went to school with guys called Rupert and Aeneas, what fun we had.

 

Public school then? heh just kidding.

Tristan is also a gay name just for the record

 

You turned a nice DBM into a horrid flat purple

Jeez I can't think of any OE colour that I'd want to replace with that!
