Default Dipping

Dipped a friends car today first time ive used the stuff and well impressed his paint work was shot and he did not have the money for a full respray,no prep work panel wipe and spray


Was going to give it a clear coat but he liked the matt look.

Is it the version made by Frost?

I have used plasti dip and it is insanely easy to get right, saw the
frost version the other day and think I prefer the look of it to
plasti dip as plasti dip does tend to leave quite a rough finish.

Car looks very good by the way, I am thinking of doing it.

Looks really good on the pictures, what is it like closer up?

I've been gathering some quotes for a Matt black respray of my hatchback, how does the cost and longevity of this compare?

Thanks,
