Alright folks,

Just been enlightened about plastidip watching some videos on youtube.

Anyone on here used or messed about with it?

I have a Audi a3 1.9tdi 182k miles(boooo I know lol) hopefully have a scooby in November/December time!!

Anyway the wheels have seen better days and I want to spray them to give them a new lease of life lol.

Does anyone know where you can get some in Scotland which retailers/shop? I'd like to walk in and buy some cans as opposed to buying online as I'd have to wait then :P lol

Cheers,

Marty

Not done a car, but I have done some interior bits

TBH, I bought it direct from Plastidip and it arrived in a couple of days...

Sweet, the interior bits look good!

Couple of days doesn't sound to bad I suppose, I'm guessing I'd need a can per wheel tho... which adds up quick! :P

My other car is a 54 plate B 5.5 Passat Highline 1.9 TDi AWX 130ps, mapped to 170ps by AMD in Essex.

Cant beat the VAG TDi in my opinion. 182k miles? That's only the beginning mate!

I too have seen a few vids of this dipping, the one I saw was an American guy spraying an Audi A5 I think it was, it was a white one.

It peels off easy from the headlights etc, good for paintwork protection.

That lot was 750ml of paint plus 750ml of thinners, I suspect you'll need 1-2 cans per wheel

Very nice!

Yeah VAG TDi are some machines, 186k its just getting run in lol, and it doesn't get a particularly easy life...

Yeah that's one of the videos I saw, sure there was an S4 also, sprayed in a really cool blue colour. Looks a lot nicer than I thought it would of.

Need to black mask the front and rear bumpers like the Nissan GT-R black mask to hide all the stone chips... the front bumper is almost one giant stone chip... lol

DTVHSR

Oh dear lol, in that case the cost will be £60 to £120...

There's a wheel shop in town, might see what his best price is for a matte coat or something.

There is an 09 plate GT-R on the Connors Day photo's, this is either matt black, or plasti dipped, not sure but it looks great.

A fantastic turn out for the little fella, I was unable to attend, but my heart goes out to Connor and his family....and all involved.

Well done guys / gals, you sure did him proud today

DTVHSR

Cool, I'll have a look!

Had a look through the Connors Day photo's really glad it was a good turn out looked like a great day. Sorry I couldn't make it. My thought's are with Connor and his family also.
