I follow a couple mustang things on instagram and this poped up....it is plastidip. and a 2013 gt500...why? If its your car sorry but it looks horrible. Said it cost him 500$.. but seriously why pay 50k for a car to get a 500$ paintjob.

 

I saw it and think it looks pretty cool. It's an 11-12 though.

 

my bad. i dunno i guess its person to person but if you spend that much on a car? why not get a legit paint job?

 

I see it as trying something new, maybe he is deciding it he wants that color, and it was a cheap trial run? Also, with those wraps/plastidip, if you want to try different colors all the time, it makes changing things very easy. It even keeps the paint pristine underneath, so say you keep the car for a few years, you never have to wax it, never have swirl marks, and it prevents rock chips.

 

sure there's that, one guy commented on the actual picture the guy posted and said i did the pastidip thing and when i peeled it off, it took the clear coat and base layer with it.

I can't imagine how long it would take to peel all that paint off... i have issues just with vinyl stripes lol

 

+1, also just because your car is 50k doesn't mean you need a 1-2k paint job. Seems like highschooler logic ie. if I get jeans for 100 bucks they must be better then 25 dollar JC Penny's jeans.

 

Hahah wow. I wonder how his paint was in the first place though. There's a guy on Instagram who did his whole car and peeled it off, had no problems. It was also a newer 2013 though, so his paint was still perfect.

 

Could be that the person who's paint came off used a none prethinned plastidip and thinned it himself, could have added too much thinner which might each the clear.

 

Uh your example doesn't come close to fitting what im saying. i think your more saying i spent a 100$ on jeans. now im gonna buy 5$ shoes. Like look i bought something expensive now im going to skimp out on the rest of it.

of course you dont NEED to spend money on that kind of paint job, maybe my though process is more well i spent all this money on a nice car, might as well get a quality paint job too.

 

I guess it is all up to opinion. Eventually I will most likely plastidip my car so that I can keep the paint nice since it already has chips.

 

Because this person must of lost their mind. I HATE plastic dip. It is cheap..looks cheap...doesnt hold up forever and with how much money we spend on our cars just buy the real deal instead of "ricin" it out. I know ill probably **** a lot of people off with that statement but it is my opinion. So yea dont know why anyone would do that to their car because I think that pic you shared looks like ****! Lol

 

WTG! I agree with you 100%

EWWW yuck, yuck!

 

Just to be sure we are on the same page, is you said plastidipping "rices" out a car; is it ricing out a car when you put silly huge window louvers on, or put the false hood scoops on the car?

 

IMO no it isnt because those things are made of high quality material and painted. Not some sloppy looking cheap *** paint thrown on some parts. It isnt about whether it is functional or not it is about how tastefully it is done and plastic dip looks cheap.

 

Alright fair enough.

 

Im glad I am not the only one :thumb:

 

Some people can mess up a wet dream...

disagree there.. if its not functional then its just for looks, cheap looks, because there usually IS a functional option, but people will get the plastic parts cause its cheaper. and if its just cheap looks, then its the same principle as ricing out the car.. or plastic dip. if ANYTHING, fake plastic parts whether professionally painted or not, are way more ricer than plastic dip. when you go to get stuff painted, even then theres different paint options available, so plastic dips could be the cheapo option. who knows plastic dip maybe even look good if done well. Personally I don't like it though

for example there's fake hood scoops.. cheap version of just buying a real hood with the functional heat extractors. personally I like the look of the side scoops for example, but when I saw they were just basically plastic parts glued to the side, I didn't get them cause I thought it was cheap. maybe from a distance it looks good, but up close its pretty lame IMO. don't see how one could bash plastic dip(which I agree is lame/cheap), and yet be okay with plastic parts. you said its not about it being functional its about it being tasteful... if that's the case then, it really is according to what a person likes. maybe for you its not tasteful and looks cheap(for me too), but for others maybe they like it and it looks like quality stuff(you can't dispute this because you just said about how tastefully it is done/looks, which comes down to opinion not actual quality work done. even with quality work its debatable.. it could be quality work, and still look like crap to one guy and awesome to another. like plastic parts...). seemingly for you nonfunctional plastic parts is tasteful, for me its lame/cheap.

I don't like how the car in the OP ended up looking, especially knowing its plastic dip, and that it was a GT500
but its not my car, so if the guys happy with it, eh, its his car not mine

 

My buddy just did his mustang camo green plastic dip with gloss black roof/wing and a few other parts gloss black which is the color of the car, it came out really well,, people can hate on it but his car will have over 1000RWHP,,
