Dipped after that drunken order
Hey Guys,
anyone that saw my last thread will know i ordered some pasti dip while under the influence of alchol.
I dipped it a few weeks ago but ive had the car sat in the Garage since and i needed some Sun light so i could see the Colour flip effect.
The car is full of grime and dust so the effect will be better once cleaned and once the summer comes and the sun is higher hopefully will have more of a change effect.
however here are a couple of pictures of the car and depending on the screen your looking at these from you should hopefully see the effect, (looks noticable on my iphone 6 screen, looks bland on my laptop screen)

Yeah will get better pics when the light is better and I have washed it, hard to get the colour showing on pictures.
No never decided to add the vortex, roof spoiler etc, as you say don't want it to look like something it's not and only paid £60 for the car and I use it as a bit of a hobby with a few engine mods, map and rear spoiler
Fun car though but not a daily driver or even much of a weekend driver so it's good to throw a little money at every now and then to keep it interesting

Plasti dip is great stuff, had a play with it on my BM and Merc - grills etc....love the fact it can withstand the pressure washer and day to day driving, yet peel off when I want to change it.
Be careful adjusting the colour on the entire car though completely and the impact on your v5 - not sure if it will cause you issues with respect to insurance etc if you haven’t declared it....

How long did it take you to do the car ?
Did you remove bumpers , bonnet , boot , doors etc etc
Looks like it's worked well for you , can't say I'm a fan of the colour tho , looks like the colour they used to use on the two/tone MGZ ha ha

And the cost of the gun etc is £160 and then dip etc will cost you 150-200 obviously less depending on quantity you buy, depending on colour and how many layers you put on etc
Then to remove it just peals off, think of it like rubber

Don't even know how to respond to you? You just dribble on each thread you write in, not to mention you already posted in this one

That is certainly different... growing on me the more I look at it.
My knowledge of plasti dip is minimal, a friend showed me a clip of someone in the states doing their audi in matte black so I'm a little more interested in the idea as it comes in different colours.
What is the finish like? Is there a good selection of colours?

Best I can do? I don't need to do any better, you are the guy who made a big statement about selling up and getting the top secret car... GTR and then not getting it hahahaha, do you walk around with a big plank of wood attached to your back?
Ruined with plasti dip? AI gain the plank inside your head isn't telling you it peels off.....

As for the GTR,it was a car I considered.
What I actually bought was a mitsubishi lancer.
Pop over to mlr and look up my username

There is all kinds of finishes to be honest
if you look at these guys videos on yourtube you can see pretty much every dip they sell and show you how they apply it all etc to there standard:

The video I watched mentioned it is also good for protecting the car from chips, etc is this right?
I wouldn't go as far as saying it is for chavs wanting to ruin their car Mr Thomas... if it will protect the paint work then I would certainly use it throughout the winter months

must be greatYeah it protects the cars paint work as its like a rubber coating, could be worth it for you to buy a spray can for £15-20 and spray it on something then you can see the texture and colour etc

Ah live a little, who the **** likes a boring ba5tard in life?
Stand out or sit the **** down is how I view life, those that just blend in the background just watch the world go round and follow people
What would you do? Let me guess you would be like a sheep and go white or black

What would I do? Buy a car in the colour i like and spend my time and money on other bits. Im not saying wrapping is bad, but that colour is quite honestly, horrific. But you'll fit in at the Maccy D drive through well good!
